There's certain chinese website where you can get bulk for cheap, but it will probably take about a month for delivery depending where you are. Food grade agar agar has a shelf life I think, make sure you can use it all before it goes bad 👍

Check restaurant supply stores if you need large amounts. If you know someone with a restaurant depot card, your may be able to find a good deal with it the long ship time. A pound is a lot of agar, I can't even imagine how long a 25kg bag would last for most in this hobby.

No because that's a absolutely ridiculous amount of agar. Youd need to split that 100 ways or more
Telephone agar is $1 per 25g. Agar isn't expensive to begin with.

Given$1\25g is certainly not cost prohibitive and I have no idea why 25kg would every be needed.....but...... $1\25g=$10\250g=$100\2.5kg=$1000\25kg! Again, no clue why it would be needed but if it were, that $850 pack would start to look more appealing. However, if it is no good for the purpose it is needed for, them you didn't save$150, you wasted$850.

1000 vs 850 isn't big enough savings to give myself a 3.5 lifetime supply.
I will absolutely stick with paying 15% more thanks

Mostly I like making Supply inquiries I think I'll spend the next week or so whittling the agar manufacturers down on Alibaba until they give me the best price for 5 to 25 kg I'm going to go in with a bunch of shroomery members on here and distribute it to the shroomery community at cost. It's time to cut out some of the middleman profiteering in the agar Market. So that's it I'm going to make deals where I make zero money and get everybody at Cost super cheap bulk agar with a sacrifice of me having to do a bunch of snail mail work which I do for fun anyway so I wouldn't consider it work

As if agar isn't already dirt cheap. Buy dishes in mega bulk if you want to help people out with costs
