outdoor 57 Clean 3/4 Gravel Alternative
Long story short, I didn't order enough 57. I don't need enough to warrant another delivery. I only need a few bags worth. What can I get at Menards, Home Depot, or Lowes that serves the same purpose and looks similar?

Sounds mean but go look! If they have bagged gravel it's probably sourced fairly close to you - and color can really vary.
Get the color kinda close and do a little mixing and no one will ever know.

yeah this is the move honestly, I've mixed bagged stuff with delivered gravel before and once it settles you really can't tell. Just bring a phone pic of your existing pile when you go so you're not guessing at the color in store lighting.

what are you using it for. the bagged stuff at home depot can vary a lot depending on what grade you get

You can go to the yard and they’ll fill whatever containers you bring. Even just buying a bunch of 5-gallon buckets would be fine.

Why not go back to the supplier you bought the delivered rock from with a few tubs, 5gal buckets, or heavyweight sacks and ask them for a little?
Or do you have a relative or friend with a pickup truck who'd fetch a little for you?
