When I was in the Navy, we had machines on my ship that made fresh water for us to drink and shower with out of seawater. The machine also made salt...lots of salt that we pumped over the side. So wasteful, in retrospect...
Forgive me if some facetiousness is going over my head, but a lot of the cost in selling goods like salt is in processing, packaging, and transportation, not necessarily in getting the good itself.

That salt would need a lot of cleaning.
