8.00 / 4 / 128 / 0.1 = $0.156 / oz CL
9.99 / 4 / 128 / 0.1 = $0.195 / oz CL
Pretty good regular price, excellent at $8.00.

In Baltimore (Owings MIlls area), I've been buying 8.25% at Walmart and Costco @ $3.80/gl My local Home Depot cost is $4.25/gl for same bleach. Expensive.
Until I went to Leslie's. Local Leslie's price was $25 for 5gl of 12.5% and subsequently when you return to buy more and have jugs to return you get $6 off for each 5gl jug, so it comes out to $19/5gl of 12.5% ($3.80/gl) which is pretty **** good.
Have you checked Ollie's? There is one not far from you. $2.99/gal for 12.5%. Even better with a coupon.
WOW that's a good one at Olies.... Remember next year also check Ace for the $10 a case (4 gal) 10% for $10 . I loaded up this year 18 cases. Kroger price yesterday 8% $2.19 121oz got Sr. discount 10% woohoo
can you please explain how this works in details?
i called stores in different districts and they only sell it in cases of two 1 gallon bottles. I would love to jump on the deal like yours and stock up for a couple months
by the way is this stabilized or unstabilized chlorine?
Sure... Keep in mind, I live in S Florida, which is a pool mecca. In most neighborhoods, virtually every home has a 15k in-ground pool. As a result, we probably have as many pool stores as we do grocery stores. 10% chlorine is ubiquitous, and probably sold at/near cost at most pool stores to keep you coming in the door (and hope you'll purchase something else). But this isn't pre-packaged chlorine like you buy at the big box hardware stores. Generally bottles are refilled and resold. A pool store will have a big delivery tank, several hundred gallons, and they refill their bottles from this. Because they turn over chlorine VERY quickly, storage degradation isn't really an issue.
When I buy a gallon of chlorine, I pay a $1 bottle deposit the first time. When I come back in, I trade my empty bottles for filled bottles, and pay $2.20/gal for the chlorine they contain. I also have the option of using 2.5g jugs, for $5.50 per 2.5g refill. That's at my local mom & pop pool store. But, since it works out to the same price per gallon, I generally stick with the easier-to-manage 1g bottles.
The Leslie's special I mentioned is that you could refill 3 of these 2.5g jugs, for just $9.99 with the coupon. This would still be the standard 10% liquid chlorine, non-stabilized. Only thing is you have to purchase the 2.5g jugs, and they're yours to keep (No bottle deposits). I've never set foot in a Leslie's, but for $1.33/gal chlorine, I just might....
I asked the Leslie's here and was told that nobody in the state of Texas sells liquid chlorine and that it's horrible for your pool. I had to hold back from laughing and telling him he could buy some at any grocery or hardware store and that other Leslie's sell it. I guess I'm stuck paying $3.79/gal at Lowes
You'd be surprised how many people make strange faces when they find out I'm using "bleach" in my pool "instead" of chlorine from the pool store. "You swim in bleach?" they ask incredulously. While I suppose it's one thing from the public, that's pretty surprising from someone in the industry.
