Any local stores carry Tropic Eden Substrate?

I am looking for tropic eden aragonite, does anyone know of any LFS that carry it? The only place I have found it is on premiumaquatics website and the shipping is expensive...

+1. what type of Tropic Eden Substrate are you looking for? I got the 2mm, about 15lbs or so leftover. I am probably going to order from PA since not many people carry it if any because I need the 3.5mm. Even with the shipping, I am betting it might be cheaper than some other places. You can have it for the leftovers for like 5 dollars or something. LMK.

I have one 30lb bag of the tonga miniflakes, 2mm size. I need enough for my new 120g setup, plan on doing a 2 inch bed.... i am not sure how many bags I would need?

Where are you located? Looks like I might just end up ordering on PA. I will let you know, maybe if we do a group buy they could give better shipping rates.
