We just got a coupon for 15% off for anything in the store.

I went there today to pick up some more nut coal, but all they had was a pallet of rice coal. They gave me a rain check for the 15% off when they get their next shipment of nut coal. They have three pallets on order.

Ok.Just signed up for them.

5 miles away $289.00/ton $7.50/bag

I hope you're right, I had read on their site a 05% on pallet or "volume discount"

Most stores wont give you the 5% on top of the 10% coupon. Know mine wouldn't on my 4 ton order.

They tried to sell me wood pellets.

They don't have any in stock, they have to order it. They also cannot say when it will come in. I ordered 2 ton today, will let you all know how long it takes for me to get it.

Wow, they must have had a bunch of us calling, and that apparently changed their mind for them. Are they only dealing with nut, or can I order pea from them?

Good luck with pea, Larry. seems to be on the negative side this season. I ended up with Blaschack, cause no-one has Kimmel pea.

I wonder what kind of profit they're turning at $250 a ton/$5 a bag? They must have negotiated a pretty good deal with Kimmel to be able to sell it that low in New England. PA is one thing but the transport costs bringing it to places like Maine, VT, NH, etc.

The coupon state, "no limit to savings, and includes clearance" that's a go!.....I'm pretty good friends with the manager which helps.

I took a chance ordering coal from TSC the week of Halloween, I could still be holding my breath and it wouldn't be their fault. Go to your local market Tuesday before Thanksgiving and tell the butcher you would like to order fresh turkey for the holiday.
Sorry if you're waiting but I could drive 5 miles and pay $289/ ton (2000lb) OR $7.50/ bag but I rolled the dice.....with a back up plan.

The father in law ordered 2 ton of nut from our local TSC here in plattsburgh about 4 weeks ago, and they got ahold of him sunday afternoon telling him his finally came in.. so I think right now its just a waiting game... if you NEED coal don't depend on them right now, and hopefully in the future they will start stocking it and becoming a steady supplier, unless they up there prices, then it will be no different than where you buy your coal now.
