NO, NO, NO.... there is not any savings. In fact you lose on the deal.... some salt contains iodine, which is important to good health in small quantities... think goiters here. ALL SALT is important to essential brain function as potassium (salt) and sucrose react in a fashion that creates electric biorhythmic signals that are the basis for living. There is a reason why wars used to be fought for salt,.... it keeps us alive

Actually, I think you're better off with the rock salt that's designed to melt ice on your driveway. Buy it in 80 lb bags from your local hardware store in winter time. No need to make a special trip to the livestock supply shop! It's usually 99% pure, and surely you don't mind a little grit and gravel or perhaps some toxic chemicals. It's only 1%!

That is the age old question... to saltlick or not to saltlick. It's good that it's been brought up. I've been thinking of going back to saltlicks. I'm tired of being a tool for "Big Salt" (Big Oil's salty neighbor). Them and their fancy "iodization process".
You can save more money by purchasing them in bulk (see Costco or Big Lots). Plus, it's a great way to get girls back to the apartment... "Hey, wanna come see my saltlick?". I haven't met the girl that can say "no" to that.
Keep your stick on the ice.

No, but you could possibly earn some money by charging people to watch you do this foolhardy thing.
