$42.53 per 50# That is a better price.

I get a 50 lb bag at a feed store 30 miles away for $26 or something like that. I spent about $20 just on a 2 lb bag shipped to me before i found out about this feed store.

Yea, it would be great if the feed stores all carried it, unfortunately the ones around here don't, thus the shipping charges

Our feed store in Brunswick,ME will carry it come spring. That is the time to stock up because they never have it this time of year.

Hi and Welcome from TN!

I have been using food grade DE since June '07. Check out my food grade DE page that I've put together. I explain exactly how I use it around here. There are also several links for where you can purchase it also.

I purchased my first 50# bag and had it shipped. It was over $40.00, if I remember correctly. After I checked out Custom Milling, I found a dealer within about a 30 - 40 minute drive for us that sells 50# bags of food grade DE for $20.00.


Hope this is some help!

Custom Millings only sells in the southeast (although why they consider Illinois the SE is beyond me

). I wish there was some place local for pickup around here, but I haven't found it yet

EBay now has it 6lb for $16 shipped. I bought some and its white not off colored.

I'm in Alabama and I bought mine from this place in Georgia. Here's the link

I don't remember exactly, but I think it was around $35 for a 50 pound bag, including shipping. And it got here quick!
