Convince Me With Logic Not To Buy A 55lb Bucket of Salt
So I’m running low on pink Himalayan salt. You can subscribe & save a 2lb bag on Amazon at 2lb bag for $5/lb, 5lb bag for $2.85/lb, you can buy 10lbs at $2/lb and you can buy 55lbs for $1.64/lb. That’s 18% cheaper than the 10lb bag. The stuff doesn’t go bad. I could just keep a mason jar in my kitchen, the bucket in my attic, and go refill it every however many months. But now I’m not subscribe & saving and I am trying to get to the 15% monthly discount for every month… But 18%>15% but the 15% applies to all my shit…
Man! I came in here to type "you're a pussy and can't lift 55lbs" But then I see it's my one of my favorite posters.
FYI, I purchased the 5lb bag and it lasted for 2 years, with very liberal use. You can blend it to a fine powder for salt shakers and baking/cooking. Keep it sealed though. It will absorb smells from whatever it's around.
Yeah, it lasts forever and it's not even the only type of salt I use... My only argument not to get it is the TVM of the $50 difference considering how long I'll have it... my kids might inherit some of the shit
55lbs of Himalyan salt is the way to go. It will change your life.
First, I recommend putting it on a shelf in your bedroom and have it lit, to pay it proper respect. Best practice is to put large speakers on each side of it and sync it to your phone alarm. Have a timer turn on the lights at the same time the alarm goes off in the morning. Alarm song? Only one choice. "Salt Shaker" by Ying Yang twins.
To wake up daily to the beautiful pink salt being lit up with its proper anthem by the Ying Yang twins is the optimal way to start your day. You will not regret it.
I bought a 25-pound bag of Real Salt several years ago and still have plenty left over. It's survived two moves and, like you said, does not go bad. If you have enough space, get the 55-pound bucket, but if you're living in a small apartment, I would just get the 10-pound bucket.
Sell me this pen
You can use it to sign the receipt after buying 55lbs of salt.
Buy the 55lbs and if salt becomes currency again you will be laughing all the way to the bank with your 55lbs bag of money.
I wouldn't keep all your eggs in one basket. What if your 55lbs bag gets ruined(however), then it is gone for good. I think you could do 10lbs at the most and just re-up every year.
That's a fuckton of salt. Who wants that around in your attic? To save a few bucks?
I agree, a fuckton of salt would be ludicrous just to save a few bucks - hence why OP is only wanting to get 55lbs.
Perhaps my diet isn't as likely to give me an arterial blockage as you, but 55 pounds is a fuckton of salt for me
I think measuring salt in terms of "pounds" is misleading, and you should be measuring it in terms of time (which will depend on your usage of the pounds). In other words, if you're buying 2 years of salt, then depending on your discount rate, the savings over multiple smaller buys is probably significant and worth the storage cost/risk; but if you're buying 20 years of salt, then don't fuckin buy 20 years of salt.
Thought this was an interview question. Would have answered "coz you're a salty guy...."
I'm here all night folks.
who the fuck buys salt by the pound? i literally have the same shaker from 5 years ago that was never refilled.
gentlemen of means. i have 7 different salt grinders get at me
I went with the 10lb bag, my friends. The IRR on the $50 difference over the time it would take us to consume the 45lb difference makes that the best option imo upon further thought.
The correct answer was for you to buy a plane ticket to Nepal and find the salt manufacturers. Learn their customs and gain their trust. Become their sole conduit for selling salts and export it worldwide. That way the salt makes you money.
if there is any humidity in your attic I think it will make the salt all gross
Every time I use up a bottle of supps, I save the little packet that removes humidity. I have a bag full. I put them in bags of coffee and shit.
