For first timers, you can't beat the price.

But, you have to live where they're availabe.

They don't have prices. I can buy 33# for $18 and change..... are
they close?

For first timers, I got a full, new tank, 17lbs, for $10. But, I think
they've
stopped that. Now it'll run me about $22 for a 17lb tank, but they drop it
on my
front porch or back deck. I could get it somewhat cheaper, but I'd have to
drive
somewhere to get it.

Considering home delivery..... not bad!

Not bad for delivered. I have 4 tanks, and just wait until a couple are
empty and one is partially used. Put in the pickup and go get filled at the
bulk station. Have extras as when the government guy said we had to have a
different safety system on the tanks. Was going to cost $40 to get rid of
them at the dumps after I bought 2 new tanks. Buddy said they charge a
couple bucks extra at HD to trade in an old tank for a legal filled one.
Wal-mart was a buck cheaper. So now I rarely have a problem with empty
tanks.
