Contrast this to a locally purchased, 50# bag of Turface Pro League at $20 (including tax, or 40¢/#) and you can see that there are better deals to be had out in the marketplace.

A lesson learned for the price of a family night out at Applebees.
And two bags of flourite (30 lbs) shipped would be $40.00. A substantial part of that cost is freight. I guess it figures. Substrates are heavy so pickup locally if at all possible. Still, I'm glad they are offering it.

And thanks for doing the deed, Bill!
