If you have any Amish or Mennonite communities nearby you are in luck. I get 10 pound sacks of canning (non-iodized) salt from the local Mennonite bulk store. This is also where I get pounds of cloves, alspice and stick cinnamon for the holiday pommanders that I make every Christmas. Much cheaper than all those little bottles from the grocery.
