So being the cheap person that I am, I dont want to just go out and pay $1 per pound on suitcase weights, which is what they typically go for around here.
I got a wicked deal on plate steel early this year and used that for weight. But I needed more as I was borrowing weight.
I called around to the scrap yards. One around here was willing to sell any kind of metal for $0.35 per pound. Doesnt matter what it is.
I got all the steel I needed to fabricate for my C, and more plate to make into hanging weights and they sold it to me for $0.32 per pound because I paid cash.
talk about a good deal. If you need weight, check out your local scrap yard.
