One thing i have discovered in this area is that there
are 3 ways to get concrete:

1. sakrete
2. hardware store with a mixer (1/2 yd)
3. concrete truck

in this area if you price it out by the yard the price
is the same (within a couple of dollars) so i guess it
comes down to how much work you wish to do...
