In Chicago: bulk CBW order?

[Harriett]

Hey! Here in balmy Chicago (today at least) Tyra Cooper and I are interested in ordering CBW from Dan at Aquatic foods--Jeff's on the south side has them and they're great but pricey for me and an hour away. I live on the north side and am looking for 2-3 more folks to go in on it in order to get to the 10 pound level with the $8/lb pricetag attached. Anyone interested? What we are trying to do is get a few folks that want to order regularly so we can buy at a reasonable price on an ongoing schedule. I'm also interested in their Hikari frozen bloodworms at $6.50/lb. slab. Any interest? IM me back! Thanks.

Harriet,

I can do much better than that on Frozen food w/ no shipping.

You and Tyra (and any other Chicago dweller) can IM for details.

I'm thinking a group order on Frozen....

I am expecting a 5 lb order of CBW today. I would be interested in joining a group order in the future. I am at 4000N near the lake (Lakeview).

I looked at his pricelist. A 10 lb order will run you $11.50 per lb plus about $7 packing charge. Who quoted you the $8/lb for a 10 lb order?

Oooops. I spoke to soon. Now I see where it goes for $8/lb. Sorry about that.

I have not spoken to Harriet yet today, but I'm still looking to be a part of a "cbw purchasing group". I live in Hyde Park, close to the Museum of Science and Industry. I'll try to get in touch with her and see what she says.

Hi all,
Anyone in Chi town looking for Hikari Bloodworms and Brine shrimp let me know, I have a local source, $7.00 per pound No minimum order, No shipping charges. Local pickup from my place on the Southwest side. I will be doing a large order so anyone in need let me know and I'll be happy to add you in.

For comparison, I've been paying $3.99 for a 4oz flat from petsmart.....

Can't do much on the CBW's unfortunately...
