Best place to buy wood pellets?

I'd like to get a variety of different types of wood pellets to experiment. I just got my first pellet grill, and bought a 33 lbs bag of Traeger Gourmet blend for about $18 (a mix of maple, hickory, and cherry). Right now, I'm about 11 hours into my first pork butts, so we'll see how it works. It did a great job when I smoked wings last weekend.
But I'd like to get some other woods for different types of meat. Does anyone know a good pellet source with some variety that's cheap? I've never shopped around for them, or even know which brand are good. I just know you never see them at grocery stores.

Academy carries several flavors of B&B pellets. That's what I use in my GMG. But I'm more than sure you can find some on Amazon in bulk in multiple flavors to buy. Just check the reviews and star ratings before choosing one.

Only buy the 100% wood pellets. The others are blends and don’t give much flavor. The cheap pellets are sprayed with the smoke flavor

Lumberjack are really good. If you can find others to split a half pallet or whole pallet, you'll save a lot.

I saw a guy in Craigslist selling them for $11 for 20# bags. Do you order a pallet directly through them?

Walmart has the Pit Boss competition blend 40# bags for $17 bucks. They work great in my Yoder and the deal is fantastic.

Where are you located? I found several pallets of busted bags of pellets at a salvage store. They were selling them for next to nothing. Great way to try several different brands.

This is a good deal. I got the Louisiana Grills competition blend from Walmart and while they were my first foray into pellet smoking, I love the smell, and the first brisket I did was unreal. Can be had for anywhere from $22-$24.

I've actually found walmart and home depot to be the cheapest.

Sounds like a good deal. I know that pit boss and Louisiana Grills are made by the same company. So I'm guessing the pellets are identical.
I haven't read much online about trager pellets, but have found a few good things about PB and LG pellets.

Agreed, but a variety of cheap ones is what was asked for, they both carry a limited selection.
