Why we love this sale

The final stretch of winter has been brutal this year, especially for those in the northeast. I thought we were in the clear after the last big storm, but we were just hit with a record-breaking blizzard that many are still trying to dig their way out of. And, unfortunately, the forecast shows even more snow ahead. Throughout it all, snowstorm essentials have been at the top of mind, one being snow and ice melt. 

Snow and ice melt is a must-have in the winter, keeping sidewalks, driveways, and paths clear and ice-free, and making them safer to walk on without any slipping. It also makes it easier to shovel and plow. However, it’s been almost impossible to find since the reports of the first big snowstorm this winter. I tried going to home improvement stores to find it, but they were completely sold out. 

After searching for options in stores and eyeing shipping times online, I came across snow and ice melt at Amazon that’s not only on sale, but can also arrive in a matter of days for Amazon Prime members. If you order now, it should give you enough time (even with potential shipping delays) to receive it before the next snowfall.

Pet-safe and efficient in temperatures as low as -25 degrees, this 50-pound bag of ice melt is a steal while it’s on sale for $45 and 25% off. It’s made with natural and biodegradable minerals that are designed to be safe for pets and the environment. This is the ice melt I personally went with, and I’m waiting for it to arrive any day now.

If you’re unsure about shipping delays and want to go another route, I recommend checking out pet stores. Ahead of the last two snowstorms, local pet shops came in handy with bags of ice melt that are safe for pets. Check out stores like Petco for shipping or in-store pickup.
