Don't forget that HD and Lowes give 10% military discounts (veterans included), which brings the price/ton down to $179.10/ton. So if you aren't a vet but know someone who is, bring them along with their ID.
The local HD up here has tightened their requirements for a military discount. A veterans card has to say Service Connected Disablity or they won't honor the discount. I have a service connected disability, but the only way to get that statement on my ID is to get all of my medical care at the VA, and I choose not to do that. Just a heads up.
