LabelPeelers sale

I've never ordered from LabelPeelers before but they've always received excellent ratings and I keep getting their emails and thought I'd give them a try. 42% off sale on grain. Grabbed a 50lb sack of Proximity malt for $33.64. Even if I purchased direct from Proximity (not available locally) it's $50. Shipping was $27 but that's still only $15 more than buying 'regular' 2 row at my LHBS and this is much better malt IMO.
EDIT: I thought I should mention that they shipped my order out in just over 90 minutes! I certainly don't expect that to be the norm and I only order 2 items but that's a double win in my books.

Silly me, I thought would be about labels.

They are ~40 minutes from me, they are literally a homebrew shop right by LD Carlson's distribution center and effectively are a retail distributor that can take things right off their docks. That's how they can ship you 500# barrels of LME, it's just drop shipped right off LD Carlson's dock.

(LD Carlson might not be well known in some parts of the US but here they are the main wholesale place where pretty much all the homebrew shops get much of what they sell).

I try to support my LHBS, but it's been tougher in covid time.

I've been buying from more beer lately (big bags don't ship free but many small bags end up cheaper) and recently bought some sale hops from farm house (HOPS10 for 10% off).

I give my LHBS some business and usually buy my sacks from him. It's a decent shop but he's not very sociable and he's also very opinionated (but I'm definitely not!)
One thing he won't sell is Imperial Yeast and I love their yeast. I get they want him to buy a good amount of it but he buys a shyte-ton of Omega (also great yeast). And, he's very particular about carrying some grain. But I get it, he's got a small shop and he knows what sells and doesn't and his prices are fair. So, I give him about half the business and try to be fair.

But, order 50 lbs on a Tuesday and get it 2 days later and it's something I can't get locally works for me. I may give Label Peelers a bit more business in the future.

had been a long-time LP customer
a smidge higher cost than MB but support the littler guy ... right?
they had a rewards program where you get credits based on how much you buy
after an order or two ... it covered shipping

one day ... my well endowed rewards account was no mo'
gone like a fart in the wind

LP discontinued the program without notice and I did them same to LP.
