I live in Burbank, CA, any SoCal'ers here know the best deal around? I'm starting to think Clorox at a big store might be best.

Same here in CT. Also in Walmart, store brand bleach 8.25% is $2.94 for 121oz and clorox 6% is 3.94 for 116oz. Looks like the two pack of the pool essentials stuff is best value.
Atwoods farm and garden Tulsa Oklahoma. 10% $2.99 per gallon $8 for box of 4. I bought one box but might go get 4-5 more.

I just stocked up at Wm on the chlorinating liquid. I noticed that the Julian date was 013 and when I applied to my pool it did not smell like the 097 stuff I had been getting. Is there any guidelines on how old is too old?
I live in Central NJ, I end up getting my liquid chlorine from Miracle Pool in Farmingdale. The sale price(this saturday may 13/may 20th) is $3.50/gallon, the regular price is $4.10/gallon with a 5% for cash 5% for a code they post on facebook every saturday. This chlorine is 12.5%.
Also keep in the local lowes/walmart carries 10% concentrated chlorine which is priced at about $3.60-3.70/gallon. This is in 1 gallon containers, so it is a bit convenient., compared to the 5 gallon carboys from Miracle Pool.
On a different note, is it ok to store my liquid chlorine in the shed in my yard. It is in the shade, it gets some sunshine in the morning, but past around 11 it is fully in the shade. Also, what's the rate of drop of the concentration of liquid chlorine? Any rough ideas?
Thanks all!

Thanks laprjns. I have an Ocean State not too far from me and they had the same price. Couldn't find a date code but it looked like freshly stocked jugs, fwiw.
In upstate NY Ollie's Bargain Outlet currently has gallons of 10% for $2.99 with date code of 17 097 for the ones I looked at. They label it pool shock.

The OSJL store that I go to sources their chlorine from three different manufacture that I have seen:
Pool Tech Shock from James Austins Company, Mars, PA (I believe the stock actually comes from their Massachusett's manufacturing plant)
Diamond Clear Mega Shock from Amco Inc, Woonsocket RI
Super Shock from H.Krevit & company, New Haven CT
Regarding date lot codes, both Pool Tech and Super Shock products have date codes marked on either the jugs or the case box. Amco doesn't date code their Diamond Clear Megashock at all. I confirmed this via an email to them. They said that their product is on OSJL floor within a few days of manufacture.
Thats great info laprjns, thanks for posting. I've always been leery about OSJL product age.
Ocean State Job Lot still sells true 128 ounce gallons of 12.5% for $2.99. Been that way for three seasons.

$4.25 / 2.5 gallon refill of 10.5% at Leslie's in Port Orange, FL.
1 free refill every 10 so the price is a tad lower.
Same price as last year.

In North Texas I get mine at Atwood's. It's labeled pool shock but is 10% sodium hypochlorite and is $9.99 for a case of 4 gallon jugs. They recently had a sale at $1.88 a gallon but that is over.

Hillsborough NJ. National Pools sells 5 gallon drums 12% for $19.98 refillable and requires $8 deposit for jug. You never need to deal with 1 gallon containers.

In Phoenix area, I bought box of two one gallon bottles of 10% Kem-tek on sale at Fry's yesterday. Not sure if it's city wide sale, but I got mine at Ahwatukee Fry's on Ray. That's about 80 cents cheaper than I've found at Home Depot. Julian date said it was made 20-days ago.
