Lump charcoal-whole foods brand?

Anyone tried the Lump from Whole foods? It is $5.00 for a 9lb bag and claims to be a mix of hickory, maple and oak. If it is any good, it is a smokin' deal. I just paid $15.00 for a 10lb bag of royal oak.
These whole foods guys are from Austin... Question

Thanks for that referal! I'll stick to the Royal Oak. I just need to find a source that isn't ripping me off.

I tried a similar product from "Fresh Market" store brand lump charcoal. Not worth the premium price for the name brand compared to el'cheapo charcoal just for heat.
