I got some from drfostersmith.com, shipping can get pretty expensive on sand and they have good shipping prices

Before I bought my sand I looked online and at the LFS. The prices at the store were more than online but with shipping it actually equaled out to the same. So I just got it from the LFS

If Petsmart has what you want in stock, go find the lowest price online and they'll match it.

Drs Foster and Smith doesn't charge weight charges, check out their shipping charges at the bottom, it's based on the value of the item.
