Check Costco. Amazon is cheaper but only when it's on sale and only by .20, or at least the Costco here in TX.

Does anyone know if you can buy grade B and do something to it to make it into a larger quantity? Like boiling with water and a thickener? Does that work?

this won't help you now but last year in the fall there was a group buy organized by a vermont mama on crunchy-cooperative.com and i paid $40 per gallon including shipping. i think it might have been $30 per gallon without shipping.

it was a great deal and i bought four gallons. i'm not sure if she's going to do it this year but it might be worth it to contact a maple farm around now and see how much they'll charge you if you reserve it in advance.

When it is on sale on Amazon, it is usually around $13 for 32 oz. which is an amazing price!

it's $52 for a gallon which is fairly decent compared to say whole foods but i wouldn't call it an amazing price, sorry

azure standard usually charges $60 for an organic gallon and less if you buy five gallons.

I got it a few months ago from Amazon (Organic) at just under $9/ quart, that was amazing IMO! I only wish I got more as I just opened the last jug. I keep checkingback for some great deals but nothing even close to that one!!!

32 ounces of organic syrup for a little less than $20 with the subscription option seems like a good deal to me! At least better than what I am paying now ($7 for 8.5 ounces)

It ended up being $17.03 with the code HIGHLAND, so that's great.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything like that. There's one natural food store, but it's extremely expensive.
