I find this to be very funny. I've never have paid for sand. I just head to the nearest beach and scoop some up for free. I have sand from just about every beach I've ever been to. Just my take.
I've seen what uses the sandboxes around here. (YUK) I didn't think to look at the pet store. I just bought a bag of cleaned playground sand from Home Depot. It is heavy but I bought a bucket with a lid to store it in so I have a LOT for projects. I could have used some of the sand that I keep for filtration columns but I found it is so fine that it works its way through the fabric.
