Question about Concrete for LR

[cgk29]

Going to start making my own LR soon and have gotten recipees from Garf and some other resources on the net. When talking about the cement they always are saying Use Type II or III that can be found at any Home Depot.

I thought I would just go there and that the bags of concrete would say II or III. They didn't. Can someone help me by telling me what I am really looking for?

Thanks

Portland Type I, II or III will work.

Type I (all i could find) comes in a 90lb bag, ~$5.
