Yup, the Lye Guy for me too. He's in upstate New York. Been buying from him for years, great to do business with, and fast turn around time.
 
I got mine from Essential Depot. But I'm a newbie, so I haven't really explored any other options.

How does the Lye guy package his lye?
 
That is actually very expensive. If you can find a chemical house it will cost considerable less. I pay $46 for a 50lb bag from a local chemical house. For soap it really does not matter if it is tech grade

When buying online and shipping it, it's a good price. LOL I know people who are spending $7.00 per pound, once you figure in shipping costs, so this is a great price.

Now if you can source it locally, then yes, you can certainly get it at a much cheaper price :)
