What will $100 get you these days, a couple of shells and a gross of bottle rockets?

Geez.

And yes, I know they go on sale big after the 4th, but then you're "that guy" in the neighborhood.

Always heard fireworks furniture and jewelry have very high profit margins.

get together enough people to spend at least $1k and order them direct online.

Just have to do so a month before you want to use them and you need a very large order.

Make your own fireworks. It's fun, you'll save money, and you'll get to teach your kids a little something about Chemistry.

Rednecks and women do not care what things cost as long as they get that momentary thrill.

School taxes! Especially all you in South Louisiana, all you are doing is paying more and more for the public to fail while paying premiums to private schools for your own kids just to have any chance to succeed.

A lot more than $100 for shells and rockets to keep the public at bay. Even a cheap Saturday Night Special runs more than $100 nowadays.

Just buy two boxes of mortars and have the drunker adults light them off. With two boxes you can have enough tubes to put on 'a show', 3 or 4 mortars at a time.

Came here to post this.

No reason on earth a tire should cost $250+ installed.

Penny rockets are like 3 bucks for 144. Drive up to Woodville, spend a few hours at illusions, say hi to peggy peg leg, then head back with a few thousand bottle rockets.
