Over 10 years ago I worked at a Walmart right near a big shipping hub. Every once in a while people/families from up North (Baffin Island mostly) would come through with 5-6 cartloads of merch and massive storage totes. I found out from those customers that it was actually cheaper to buy and ship the goods from Ontario than it was to buy them at home where everything was shipped in by air.
I remember this one woman had basically a black market for Crispers going. She would buy them on sale for $1 a bag and sell them for $4 a bag because stores up North would charge $8 a bag.

Maybe it includes a trip to the Himalayas so you can collect the salt yourself!
