Locally I've seen it $4.29/bag and the local Ace Hardware is selling it 
for $199/ton.  Since I don't use the shop on a daily basis it will be a 
lot cheaper to heat with this stuff over the long run.  I don't have to 
worry about the power being out because if the power is out, there's NO 
light in the shop. No windows. :)
