First, don't go to the garden centers - they are fairly expensive around here too. Go to a stove place (if you have one around you). I pre-paid for 3 tons last fall at $259/ton (no delivery available) - and that is a little shop in the middle of nowhere. If you are near a fairly populace area, I would think pellets would be cheaper. Also try lumber yards, although they can be expensive too, if they only carry the super duper, high class pellets.

I've been getting FSU's at HD all winter long. Are they the best pellet out there? No, but they certainly aren't the worst and they are selling for $239/ton (plus if you have their credit card, you can get 5% off that price). And, my Hastings loves them compared to any other pellet I've tried. Of course, what your HD and my HD carries might be different . . .

In MA every place is 260+, mostly around 300. With the exception of the box stores which are 240-260. Have no idea what the sxipro is talking about with his prices.

There are plenty of decent pellets in the Mass area theat range between $199 and $249 a ton depending on time of season. Don't fall for the designer pellet myth.
Really?, where? Have you looked since mid winter? What do you mean "dont fall for the designer pellet myth???

Everyone is skipping over where I said "depending on time of season" apparently. Beginning of the burning season box stores in MA/NH were well under the $240/ton price.

The myth that $300+/ton pellets are worth paying that amount of $$ for compared with pellets of the same quality for $50 a ton less.

Maybe the BBS will be that low next season.. But I really doubt it.
Of the three distributors we get product from, each one said the price is going up..
Take it for what it's worth.

Burning several bag's of GS I had left from last winter as shoulder's, chitty heat and lot's of ash, a few candles in my burnpot would make as much heat and a better flame....ha!

I coupled the 240$ a ton price with my military discount at lowes, 10% off coupon and I was very happy paying near 200$ a ton for pellets, no matter if they weren't as hot as the Orfords

I agree with that I went to all the box stores and saw awf white pines at 260, they were good pellets once you could locate them under all the fine. and yes I tried one bag of Pennington from Walmart and I am not ok with 200 a ton for 7 inch long pellets that destroy the auger. Any decent pellets in northern ma that I would burn are around 300 and up. Wish I could come across blazers for 239 like I have heard on this forum before, however it's not happening in my area. Two dealers just started carrying blazers and pre buy prices are 339 a ton or 349 a ton at the other dealer.

You found Pennington for $200 at Wal-Mart? I have only seen them for $250
 
Last week and they are absolutely terrible. Pellets are literally 3 inches long
 
...Wish I could come across blazers for 239 like I have heard on this forum before, however it's not happening in my area..

And it's not going to happen again... that was a HUGE no-no....
They lost bigtime on that deal..
 
For years all I burned was walmart pennington's, until I found this website and realized there's better pellets, they were cheap $134 a ton for year's, a few times bought them for $100 a ton in the spring....those days are longgg gone!
 
I couldn't disagree more. They have shown up multiple times over the years for the same price as any other pellet they sell. It could and most likely will happen again.
We'll see... we heard from different sources it is very unlikely...
