    this is kind of ironic but i seen a 25# bag at work today. Bought from a feed store and cost $28 dollars. I never seen a bag of pn that big. Sounds like its pretty common item at any feed store!

    I'm not sure if you have a chinatown or little italy, you can most likely get some really cheap stuff there.

    Bulkfoods has it but I bet you can get a better price. They have roasted and other nuts too.

    I don't like bugs. They are not as revolting, but close to roaches. My worst fear is to be stranded on an island with nothing but roaches to eat for survival. I'd probably just kill myself with a big rock or try to get eaten by a shark.

    your luck you would either knock yourself to retarded and spend the rest of your days a drooling idiot eating rouches on the beach. Or the shark would only eat your arm and leg from one side of you body so you swim in a circule till you pass out and drown
