Price Alert!!!

This past week I saw aluminum cans being bought for $1.70 per lb. in the Modesto, California area! Wish I had a couple of tons to sell!

Crap! Too bad I'm on the east coast.

Though I bet the cost of living is higher out there. It may balance out.

WOW That's enough to make me think about picking up cans.

26 cans make a pound right ?

How much are cans on the east coast?

That's about right for your average soda can. Some of the energy drink cans are larger, though I don't know if the metal is the same thickness as a soda can (so it could be about the same weight even though it's longer).

I haven't checked prices in a LONG time. I'm just hoarding cans in my garage right now.

Well, for your standard 12 oz. can, it takes 24 to make a pound. So, 1 case of cans to the pound. I'm sure that they have a much higher cost of living out there since they charge like a 5 cent per can charge when you buy items out there. However, for those of us who might be able to travel out there......... be sure to take all of the cans you can with you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea just think of it this way for every case of beer you drink its like getting 1.74

A few years back the price of canes here went up to .85

we \had been saving them for 15 years

Just a FYI we put the in the barn in tramlaw bags , this is not a smart thing to do as 15 years on a plastic bag from tramlaw kinda rots lol

So I thought I would go out one afternoon and just bag them up in trash bags wrong

took me all week to get them bagged up

at which time the price droped .10 to .75

got the all loaded up on my pickup and 16ft trailer ,

got green cash like 950.00

I live in the midwest and I think it is only like 10 cents here.
