Hay farmer?
I buy American Pet Diner hay from http://www.drsfostersmith.com. It's fairly cheap and AMAZING hay - always green and fresh smelling. You can buy several 5 lb boxes at once and shipping is cheap or even free if you have a large order or during some special sales (like right now). I'm also in LA, so I would have the same shipping costs as you.

Sometimes you can make an arrangement with a stable to get a bale when they've purchased hay for the horses. I ordered our box from KMS Hayloft. https://www.kmshayloft.com/ I buy a lot at once so it evens out per pound.
https://www.kmshayloft.com/ is awesome, it's so cheap but the quality is great, thanks RaveShade
