I would guess our Chiang Mai household is fairly typical with an annual "burn rate" (pun intended) of about 4200 joss sticks per year.

That accounts for daily spirit house offerings, weekly King Rama V offerings, Chinese saints and various and sundry events and so on . . .

Seems reasonable to me ... but is this way out of wack or do you do more or less?

Should I be shopping for discounts?

It must be decent. I've come across a few factory owners, no marketing budget whatsoever but all that I have met owned good portions of property (buildings, homes, vacant lots, etc.) in each direction by at least a kilometer.
