And....There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"Free shipping" on orders over $30. And oddly, the new prices reflect that.

Well this sucks. NB was my go to lhbs, where I was able to pick up bulk grains for about $35 a bag. Unless they now have different prices in there store than online, $55 for 2 row is not worth the 35 minute drive (one way). I guess I'll be ordering bulk grains from Ritebrew as well from now on like I had been for nearly everything else.
Some of the price changes are absurd. I placed an order on February 20th for 6 extract kits. If I bought the same 6 kits today, it would be $59 more money, even after the shipping changes.
Excluding any discounts (they're offering 20% off now, and I also got 20% off in February), and including dry yeast:
American Wheat: $23.50 -> $33
SMASH: $26.50 -> $36
Extra Pale Ale: $22.50 -> $37
Sierra Madre: $28.50 -> $43
Phat Tyre: $28.50 -> $43
Conundrum session IPA: $32.50 -> $37
Shipping: $8 -> $0
So one kit is $4.50 higher. Two kits are $9.50 higher. And three kits are $14.50 (!!) higher.
I'll be using Ritebrew for my kits from now on.
