I just checked over at Lakeway by Lavon and they said their minnows were $3.99/doz. 34 cents a minnow. Is that what they are going for now. WOW

I think I pay anywhere from 3-5$ a dozen for them depending on where I go. Just have to try and go places that aren't stingy with them. Some places I can get 3 dozen and they will give me 4.

About $11 a half pound at Fork at the two places I use. 2 of us can fish for 4-5 hours and still have a few left over. They weigh them to the 0.001 pound, lol. I get them in my Engle 19 quart cooler with them filling it to at least half full of their water. This keeps them much longer, and I have a dc powered air bubbler. Also a couple of plasic bottles of frozen water in case I need to cool of the water...Actually a small price to pay for a full fishing day for us...If possible buy by the weight, never by the dozen...

I'm surprised none of y'all bought that cheapo fish tank from goodwill. Set it up as a minnow tank and told the bait store to get bent.
After you buy a dozen, of course. They gotta have babies sooner or later. Feeding them from the worm farm from behind the shed. With the only cost being an tank aerator for the minnows and the bread slices for the worms.

Good idea When i was young un few decades ago my brother and i were going fishing [bream] Went to creek near house to get worms, good esy place to dig. Well that didn't go as planned. I tripped, fell on a Rusty ol Folger coffee can, brother to me back to house. Bleeding like crappie. Mom Freaked, bout 20 stitches later, I was in a cast for couple months. Still look at my forearm, and think. Glad i was only a few blocks from home.

3.99 a dozen- I’d be broke. I went through 1.5lbs a day last week. That’s pure greed-

When I used minnows I bought them by the pound at Fisherman Supply. I keep them in a 20 gallon tank at home which had a aerator. I used some cheap chemicals from Walmart to eliminate the chlorine. I use to keep them outside until some possums and raccoons found them. I them kept them on my sun porch. I never keep them long enough to use their babies for bait.
