I picked up 8 gallons yesterday at HD (still $17.98 for 4 gallons). They had an older pallet. I found a new pallet that just arrived, so I dug into the shrink wrap. The date stamp was only 7 days out.

I ended up checking Home Depot a few times per month to check the stock of the 2 stores close to me. When I would see a decent amount in stock, I would order 24-32 gallons for local delivery charge of $9. I didn't have to worry about getting old stock because whenever I saw the quantity in stock was a high number, that means they just received several new pallets. Lowes always had some gallons in stock but they were expensive and were always fairly old.
The tri-chlor I bought from Costco had "clarifiers" in it so I just used it sparingly over the summer. I just ran out so I used 37 lbs in 7 months. I probably went through 40-45 gallons of bleach with plenty left over to use until spring while the water is cold.

Do you store it inside? I thought about buying more LC and storing it inside, just don't have much space.
I have been using trichlor as well, but sparingly. My pool was initially filled in July and needed CYA. Also, I was on vacation for 10 days without anyone to add chlorine. I bought mine from Doheny's. They claim to have none of the fillers or binders, so it shouldn't have the clarifiers or xtrablue.
I have a closet in my garage. The temp in there probably gets up to max 85 during the heart of summer but still better than sitting outside.
