How much does 100lbs of sand cost?

One hundred pounds of sand costs between 10 dollars and 30 dollars if you buy it in bagged form and pick it up yourself, with most people paying about 12 to 18 dollars. The cheapest way is to buy two 50 pound bags of all-purpose sand or play sand from Home Depot or Lowes at 5 to 9 dollars per bag, totaling 10 to 18 dollars for 100 pounds. If you buy 40 pound bags, you would need three bags, costing about 18 to 27 dollars. If you buy bulk sand from a landscape supply yard at 20 to 50 dollars per ton, 100 pounds is only 0.05 ton, so the sand itself costs only 1 to 3 dollars, but many yards have a minimum charge of 10 to 20 dollars for small quantities, plus possible delivery fees. Specialty sands cost more, for example 100 pounds of polymeric sand could cost 40 to 60 dollars, pool filter sand about 30 to 40 dollars, and white aquarium sand about 50 to 70 dollars. If you need delivery for 100 pounds, many companies will charge 75 to 150 dollars total because delivery cost exceeds material cost. So for common sand, budget 12 to 18 dollars for 100 pounds if you haul it yourself, and up to 100 dollars if you need it delivered.
