Me and another sapper (Racine) are trying to team up to buy a pallet of bottles from Smokey Lake, which would cut the cost per bottle by nearly half. Currently only looking at the 16oz decanter, and a buying a full pallet brings the cost to $7.73/case. A pallet is 165 cases. So far it's only the two of us and together we can only absorb 40 cases total. Anybody else interested in joining? Pickup would need to be in Racine (or possibly Grafton at I-43).

I'm already well stocked up on bottles otherwise would join in. Parents grab them from Roth since they're close and I bring them home during deer season. I wish SL's non-pallet prices were better.Originally Posted by MarquisVII
