Money Saving Tip on Water Crystals!!!

[KYchamguy]

I use this stuff...
http://www.supercrystals.net/store.php?id=40
not had any issues.

Thats cool and all but at that site it is $30 for a 1 pound bag. At LOWES it is $13.00 for a 1lb jug and $17 at my local green house! You are paying more than double and this thread's purpose is to try and save on the good ole cash!! Soil Moist is the same crystals that you have been purchasing from that site!

I have only had to buy the 3 1oz bags and its lasted forever and i still have two bags left... been using them for over a year now. 8 bucks couldnt go wrong.
1oz bag makes a gallon worth of cystals.

i guess my question is, is it the crystals you are buying or are they already formed i guess you could call it. I havent even looked at lowes for something like that but if it is just the solid form then yes lowes would be cheaper but i also dont raise enough feeders to actually get that much.
sorry should have read your post a little more.. your right lowes would be cheaper. well a year old mistake i guess.

tiki tiki reptiles sells water crystals as well, really cheap! its funny, they even sell a cricket crack and water crystal combo titled, "Crack and Crystal Combo" hahaha

Cheapest is not to use crystals at all. Just use fruits and veg as a significant part of your gutload/insect food.

be careful with the little guys. chameleons will eat these crystals if they see them - they're shiny and look good to them. Larger chameleons will have no problem passing them. Little chameleons will have no problem passing small crystals. However, if a small chameleon eats a DEHYDRATED crystal, it will swell inside the animal and block their digestive tract. I lost a 2 month old veiled several years ago due to this.

Save money

I have lots of little secrets to save money. The most important thing is to document all of your spending. This way you can see where your money is going and what percentages you spend in certain categories such as: FOOD, TRANSPORTATION, ENTERTAINMENT, SOCIAL, ETC.

1. Carpool
2. Buy clothes and other items at thrift stores
3. Use Coupons
4. Pack your lunch for work/school
5. Stop dining out so much
6. Drink water
7. Instead of gym memberships, look up exercises on YouTube
8. Do-it-yourself home repairs. (Don't know how? Google it.)
9. Use the internet for entertainment
10. READ READ READ. I would suggest reading material that has something to do with personal finance or budgeting. You can never learn enough and there are countless tips available. For instance, this forum is a wonderful place to start.

I just finished a book called Money Saving Tips: A Poor Man's Guide to Prosperity. You can get it on Amazon. It is VERY USEFUL and easy to read. I inserted the link below.

I'm with you on that, last weekend on saturday alone i was back and forth from home to lowes at least 3 or 4 times good thing its just down the road.

It is MUCH cheaper to by the crystals from Lowes. One bag of that stuff will last you well over a year. I think it is c-r-a-z-y that Flukers sells a pinch of that stuff for $5-6. It just goes to show how badly they gouge the animal community.

tiki tiki reptiles sells water crystals as well, really cheap! its funny, they even sell a cricket crack and water crystal combo titled, "Crack and Crystal Combo" hahaha

Lol. I noticed on Repashy's website that they have a product called "Meat Pie" and another called "Morning Wood". I was really surprised by that!
