I may or may not have taken advantage of the last sale...

Wow, nice haul!   And here I thought I was being proactive when I bought 4 of those twin-packs on sale last summer.

We grill year around out here so I'm always watching.

The 8# bags also work well for negotiating when you are selling kettles. Some people just want a bbq to grill for that weekend and would rather not run around procuring stuff.

As some one who has just started cooking with charcoal, when do these sales start?

Do I have to pay full price until Labor Day or can I expect any other holiday sales before that?

The three big ones are Memorial day (May), 4th of July (July, duh), and Labor day (Sep). Depending on where you live costco may have decent deals that start earlier, but those holiday sales give you the best price. My general baseline is:

$.50/lb= normal price
$.33/lb= decent sale price
$.25/lb= EXCELLENT sale price

If you have a place to store it just stock up when it falls below $.30/lb or at least til the next holiday

That is the general baseline for me also, but I am talking lump not brix

 No......not crazy......as judged by a jury of your peers........

Then again, he's implying that we're all "normal" around here...  Yeah...   Right!   LOL

My general baseline is:

$.50/lb= normal price
$.33/lb= decent sale price
$.25/lb= EXCELLENT sale price

And when you see $.12/lb = you take that advantage to the max!
At one point last summer, I had over 800 pounds.
