 What are you looking for , for good price or what? I don't know anywhere with a good price but all wall marts and grocery stores have sugar.

This requires leg work, but a lot of the grocery stores start reducing the price of sugar in preparation for holiday baking season.  I bought some 4 # bags of sugar for .99 cents about a month ago.

Yes, and Walmart sells $25 pound sacks for around $11. Better grab them now before holiday baking.

If you have any small shops that make candy or a bakery near some of them are willing to order in sugar for you. I used to get it from a small candy making operation back when I had over 80 hives.  I also would by corn syrup by the 55 gallon drum. That was the cheapest way to feed.  Not sure if that's the case anymore

THANKS EVERYONE.  I found some sugar at a good price.  It is supermarket sugar in standard 5 pound bags.  They are pack in 50 pound boxes and sell for $15 a box.  I had to buy two pallets (3600 pounds) to get it at this price.  If anyone needs sugar, let me know.
