I have done both but it has been a longer time since I mixed my own. Last time I ordered concrete it was way too sloppy and I told the driver I didn't like it but I didn't have a slump cone so I couldn't prove it. It seems that concrete is now around $100/yard on the truck and I am thinking about mixing my own again, I have an old mixer that I got at an auction last summer. Is there a general rule of thumb for the likely difference in cost between the two methods? If they are about the same I would likely go with ready mix and get a slump cone but if there is a substantial savings I would want to mix it here. I would have to buy cement by the bag and get sand and stone trucked in.
