It says 25# on my receipt, and he assured me that he ordered directly from the company. I said OK, but asked him why it states on their website that a 25# bag is $13.97. He said to me again, I ordered directly from the manufacturer. Time will tell, David seems to think they f**ked up somehow, and I will only know when my order comes in. Funny, World of Tile's Sanded caulk is $10 a tube. I cannot be running all over town to get the best price on EVERYTHING. Got the C-Cure floor grout, and am happy about that. What I will do is go back to Lowe's Monday and make them call the company again to make sure that my order is correct. What else can I do, Call TEC directly? I don't have any contact info for them. If I get a 25# bag for $8, I guess I scored and it was their mistake. I'll know on the 13th. I can always go to WOT and pay $25.99 for a bag of grout. OUCH!

Are you sure they ordered the 25# bag? Because that sounds more like the price of a 10# box. The caulk sounds right. The regular tec grout is normally in line with the other brands.

Bags are special order, so I ordered a couple, and four tubes of caulk in Mocha. It's sanded caulk, to go with the sanded grout. Is this recommended? The bags of 25# grout run $8.34 each, the caulk is $14.10 a tube, with a minimum order of 4, so that's what I ordered. I went back to make sure he ordered me the right kind of grout, because that price is something I've never seen before. My receipt says it's correct, and he said it was direct from the manufacturer. Can this stuff really be this cheap? Hey Roger:
