Cheap Better Bottles

[BrokenDog]

I was just searching around the betterweb and found this site when I was looking for a cheap Better Bottle and figure I needed to share:
http://www.sunflowersupplies.com/products/BETTER-BOTTLE-5-GALLON-FERMENTER-PET-CARBOY-HOMEBREW.html

With shipping to my door a 5 gallon Better Bottle cost $26.54 and got there in 2 days, they also sell 6 gallons, they are a dollar more.

That is rather cheap from what I have seen other places. Too bad I don't use them.

great find! I was just thinking last night that I could use another 6 gallon and considering my LHBS sells them for $30 + tax this is way cheaper.

Dang. If everyone splits hairs over a $3 difference the LHBS will be a thing of the past ...

Some of those prices are too cheap to believe. This guy must have zero overhead or a great supplier.

I ended up ordering 2 for $48 shipped. Two at my LHBS (that is a 40 minute one way drive) would have been $64 so it's more than a $3 savings...just saying. I will buy certain things locally but when the prices are totally out of whack ($2.50 a pound for 2-Row???)I find it really difficult.

I feel the same way. My LHBS sells hops for $3/oz -- even cheap american Cascade and what not. It's ridiculous.

Also they have kids running around the store, it's really just not fun to shop there. Two of the guys are pretty damn helpful and knowledgeable, but that's not enough to keep me from buying online.

I'm all for supporting my lhbs, but it's still my money that I work for so if I can save a few bucks here and there I'm going to do it. Plus anytime I can save some money it helps me justify my immediate purchase to the wife.
