In Texas, last week, all 6% concentration... GV = $0.013 per ounce for 96 ounces. $0.014/oz for 182 oz size. Why is the larger container more expensive per ounce? Chlorox was $0.017/oz for both sized bottles.
Great Value Bleach vs Clorox

Same here in N.C. I 've been getting the smaller jug's cheaper per oz. than the larger jug's..
I recently found a place online that sold me 10 - 6 packs of 5.25% bleach in gallon jugs for $92.20 shipped (Boardwalk Pure Bright is the brand). That works out to $0.012/oz. but that is 5.25%, so not a super deal, but pretty good. I just checked and they have since raised their price on it (probably after I bought mine and they had to pay for truck freight). That was the best I had found so far, better than my local stores and about on par with the cheapest ones some of you have quoted.

Seems to be a new thing this year at Canadian Wally World stores. Last year they had the Great Value brand in 3% "regular" and 6% "ultra" on the shelf....now this year they have only 4% Great Value.
I used to work in a laundry's fleet shop . The ones that worked in the wash room Mixed there own bleach as strong or weak as they needed. I think they got the powder from a comapny in Atlanta called Zep.... I think. Might ask your loc al laundry where to buy some Cheap.

I like the Clorox better than the Walmart GV brand because the Clorox doen't have a pull tab on the top to open it. :-D
Welcome to TFP! 
You have to look on the label because Clorox switched from 6.15% to 8.25% and then many competing brands have switched as well, including some Great Value sold at Walmart. For example, this product is 6% while this product is 8.25% (and says 33% more concentrated).
Just as with Clorox, you need to be careful to avoid "splash-less" or "outdoor" bleach since they contain thickeners that will cause foaming in pool water.

Just confirming that in Canada (Montreal), the Great Value concentrated bleach - this one: http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/great-value-concentrated-liquid-bleach/6000187517362
is still only 4%..
I bought mine from Costco instead. 10.3%, comes to 12.59$ CAD for 6x1 gallon jugs, which I think works out to 0.017 per oz - but in CAD and for the 10%, so not bad. It's called UltraAQUA, but I'm not sure if it gets wide distribution.

Was just in Florida last week and a Walmart down there had 10% shock for $2.25 a gallon.
I get my 12.5% from Ollies for 2.99 a gallon. Lowes has 10% for ~$3.50 and if you buy $50 worth, you can get a coupon code for $10 off, making it close to $3 a gallon. Any of these options just seem like a better deal then regular bleach from walmart. But maybe I'm just spoiled and its not available in some areas...

In San Antonio, Wal-mart has the 10% stuff for $2.50 right now, $3.64 normal. Also, Home Depot always has their HDX germicidal bleach (8.25%) for $2.99. Those are the two I use.
I purchased the 10% stuff from the pool section at Wal-Mart for $2.50. It was .20 cheaper than the 8.25% GV bleach in the laundry section.
