Just looked on Totem's site and found they are $7.99 each. I seem to recall last year Burnco was cheaper than the box stores by a little bit.
Anyways, 30 times $8 is $240.
150 square feet of concrete at 2" thick is 25 cubic feet; there's 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. If you have a heavy duty truck you can get a 1 cu yd of concrete from
these guys for $240-260.
Instead of sand use crushed gravel underneath, and some rebar and you are set. Use 2X4s for the outside frame of the pad.
Only issue is how level can you make a concrete pad? I would say it's easier to make a pad that size level enough as opposed to the sidewalk blocks.
