$3.49 a bag at Menards:

I started using this mix this year, and I wanted to post a thread here to say that I like it a lot. I have a hard time using my peat-based pro mix to start seeds, because the top of the container will crust over and the sprouts have a difficult time breaking through. The Burpee mix is mostly coco-peat, and it does not seem to have the crusting over problem at all. Everything has been going great. I have nice-looking seedlings.

It's also cheap. Last year I bought a $20 bag of Fox Farm Light Warrior seed-starting mix. It's great stuff, but the price is ridiculous.
