Anyone order in bulk? What do you pay?

[Ignition]

Anyone order feed, forage and/or bedding in bulk? I was wondering whether you'd all share what you order and how much you pay, mainly for my own curiosity I admit. Perhaps note down where you live as well, for comparisons sake Oh, and for how many horses and how long your order lasts you, if you can be bothered

Hiya,
We group together and bulk buy Bedmax, if we order 40 bales plus we get them for £6.50 delivered. Local feed merchants sell Bedmax for £6.95 a bale or more. We are in Berkshire.
cheers

The only thing I don't buy in bulk is hard feed (risk of mice / mites if stored for a long time) and supplements (which usually have a shortish use by date).

Everything else is bought in bulk where possible. I even buy vetwrap in bulk, for a third of the price it is in the shops, and I have about a years supply of fly spray! I save a fortune in the long run by doing this.

Bulk buy bedding...

One supplier delivers free if you order over 40 bails of shavings and it's about 50p a bail cheaper than the saddlery.

Other supplier does both feed and most types of bedding and although isn't much cheaper than the saddlery (maybe 10-20p) it's really handy to have it delivered to your stable...I get 30 bails delivered in one go but would only get 5 bails in my car so saves on petrol costs i suppose.
