  Just got a few more tons of salt and sugar yesterday we are set for years now. Using alibaba and looking for in country distributors I get white Himalayan salt for under $.60 a kg and sugar cane sugar khp (golden ) for p $.55 a kg. The salt cheapest in store online is $2.75 per kg plus shipping sugar is $35 per 22.5 kg bag of golden cane sugar.
