I just noticed Lowes has the bales of Pro-Mix HP on sale through August 20 for $15. See this link. That's pretty inexpensive. Hopefully that's a nationwide sale.
Go to the product page (<<link) and select your store. It will tell you (upper right side) if it's available for "Free store pickup." You can choose to "change store" which shows all the stores in your area and the actual inventory (count) of each store.
You can even complete the order online and the bales will be held at the Customer Service/Returns desk.

I have a bad feeling Lowes is discontinuing Pro-Mix HP and this sale is their "clearance." My local Lowes doesn't carry it anymore. They have a product in a blue bale which is "Canadian peat moss" but doesn't contain Dolomite. (I think it was Fafard's, but I forget). I asked the garden manager and he said they stopped carrying Pro-Mix because their distributor can get this other product now.
I assumed that was a store-specific thing, causing me to look online for it in nearby stores. That's when I saw the sale (and found stock at a nearby store).
Hopefully I'm wrong. But, it could be a reason to stockpile. (Or, begin to learn how to re-create Pro-Mix HP using whatever that blue bag of peat was. ha).
Just learned[1] Lowes is discontinuing Pro-Mix. It's being replaced with "Premier Peat Moss." It's in a blue bag. It's a lower-grade product made by the same company that makes Pro-Mix. I was told only nurseries, grower supply houses, etc. are allowed to sell the high-end Pro-Mix product. The mass market gets this stuff.
[1] Went back to Lowes today and asked about what I thought was a green bag. It's blue. That's when the Lowes guy told me.
The blue-bag "Premier" is a fine, almost powdered cocoa consistency. That's supposed to be the less-desierable product resulting from the processing of peat. No perlite, dolomite nor myco.
Just thought I'd drop a line here for fellow canucks, TSC stores have Pro-Mix HP and BX on sale every now and again for $25 CAD for the 3.8 cu. ft. bales. The closest hydro store to me sells it for 35 and TSC's reg price is 30. I think they only have stores in Manitoba and Ontario.
