I have a calendar alert that repeats on March 1st that has the number of bags I used. If I use more, I'll just update it. It gives me a rough reminder of how many I need.
We find the bags easier than bulk, though the mulch quality is lower. We order 2 pallets delivered then load them up on my Gorilla cart and drop throughout the planting berms. Then come back with a knife to split the bag open, dump, and then spread. Save the time to shovel into a cart from a big pile.
Bulk double ground by me is $30 a cubic yard and brown color enhanced is $39.
For all the people takling about the quality. I literally found a shop rag in my bag this year. It was dirty and I almost missed it but ya, just a little filler.
For $2 I guess this works, but it's pretty crap mulch. Very chunky. The shredded stuff is a lot better. Allows for more airflow, holds moisture, doesn't pack down as much, looks better. Overall, the shredded cedar is worth the extra money.

Yes, ceder can be better depending on what you want. Ceder doesn't attract termites, the natural look lasts at least a couple seasons, it breaks down much slower, it smells better at first, but that goes away pretty quickly.
Yes, I found that HD mulch is more finely shredded. This allows the mulch to turn to dirt after a year of use, this means no need to remove old mulch so much.
They must have changed the stupid site. Now I can't log in at all. Keeps saying unexpected error and then there is a 2-minute countdown to retry. Same applies to log in with one-time passcode option. SD effect?

Just picked up 15 bags. Best to pick up in pickup bed or line your car with a tarp or trash bag. I don't have a truck, used my minivan, and manure infused water leaked into my van after the employees loaded them into the van. It's a hard smell to get out. The mulch was probably kept next to the manure.
Luckily I have a truck but last year the coloring leaked all in the bed and then stained my driveway. Had to pressure wash both out. This year I picked them after several days of no rain, didn't have an issue with leaking but the last bag did dump dyed water all over the loading area employee.
I buy this every year. I'm thinking of switching to rubber mulch which is currently $8/bag at Sams. Does anyone have pro/con comparisons between the two mulches? tia
The quality isn't great. But they are good enough for their purpose. I'll probably get some better-quality bags from HD when they run the spring black Friday sale to put on top of these.
Got 100 bags delivered Monday. Can confirm there was one full pallet of 70 and a partial pallet of 30.
Any way to get better price for delivery? App shows $99 for me. I was considering doing the same as you did. After shoveling yards of mulch last year out of my driveway, I decided bags would be easier this year.

You're just paying money for your yard to become a rubber landfill.
Just got my 90+ bags delivered for $79. They were fast, on time, and placed the pallets right where I wanted them. Great deal! Now I have my weekend cut out for me….
Don't do this. The chips are pretty wet or can have diseases. Wet ones have too much nitrogen and will potentially kill your plants. Moreover, the decomposition will need a lit of carbon and if it's not there, it smell nasty. Plus it'll grow weird fungus after it rains. Ask me how I know?
