2018 Bleach Prices

[mknauss]

Recently purchased 4 cartons of chlorine from COSTCO, all 6%. Same price, of course.

Clorox? You should not use Clorox - it now has additives - 'Cloromax'. You need plain bleach or liquid chlorine.

Checked ALDI on Saturday and their bleach is 8.25% for $2.39 a jug. Don't know if that's a great deal or not but putting it out there for anyone who needs it.

You are lucky, my store only stocks 6% bottles.

Leslie's Pool sends coupons on a regular basis for 2.5g refills (they say concentration varies between 10-12%) for 2@ $6.99, so about $1.40/g. Once in a while the price goes up to $7.99 or the deal is 3 for $10.99. Plus they have a punch card system for one free refill every 10 punches, with Wednesday double punches.

What's the part number?
I'm trying to search on their website (stores are still closed at this early hour) and I'm not finding it.

I've only seen the coupons in hard copy mail pieces.

Bought at Ace Hardware today: Case of 4-1gal bottles 10% for $11.96/CS.

Was able to use a $10 off $50 coupon on them also. Ymmv.

Where did you find the $10 of $50 coupon?

I'm reading a lot of great, local specials.
Unfortunately, here in New Mexico I can't find any local suppliers that offer deals.

With that said, is the consensus that for the national chains the best deals are:
1. Ace Hardware 128fl oz. (1Gal) 10% @$2.99 = $0.23/oz hth Chlorinating Chemicals 1 gal.(11182) - Pool Chemicals - Ace Hardware
2. Home Depot 121fl oz. 8.25% @2.99 = $0.30/oz https://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-121-oz-Germicidal-Bleach-23008948211/203420868

Leave it to Wally world to screw people-now selling only 6 percent and charging the same as they did for the 8.25.
I will find another source.

Last week Wally World had bleach on sale for a great price until I checked the percentage.... 3 %. I don't think I have ever seen 3% bleach before.

Of course, it was right by the front door.

Atwood's liquid shock/chlorine does NOT have production dates that I have seen. They have an expiration date. Last year in July, 2017, we bought jugs with expiration dates of June, 2018. That is a lot longer than 3 months. They keep it indoor at my local store, but who knows where it sits before it is stocked inside.

Should we believe their expiration dates or go by the 3 month rule?

I would prefer "born on" dates, but if the expiration date is well into the future I imagine it would be ok. You could buy a couple and closely monitor the change if FC when adding it to make sure it is good.

Home Depot (as well as Lowe's for the same price) has this:

128fl oz. (1Gal) 10% @ $6.86 for a 2-pack = $0.27/oz HDX 1 Gal. Pool-Care Chlorinating Liquid (2-Pack)
HD also has a bulk (4 or more) discount @ $6.17 = $0.24/oz
As usual, however, watch out for the date code. My local HD had day 60 as the newest a couple of weeks ago.

6.86/256 is $0.268/oz, not 0.23.

Is this true of plain Clorox? I never use splashless or scented, but did not know that plain Clorox has additives?

Oops! That's what happens when someone distracts you in the middle of writing a post. I will correct it.

Honestly, I never pay attention to the dates but I have never gotten bad stuff from Atwoods and I average about 40 cases a year. I store it in my garage and never have it go bad. I believe they have such a good turnover and they store it inside and it is always fresh. Right now they have it for $1.99 a bottle on sale.

 

[pypeke]

Atwood's also has a 4 gallon pack of Muratic Acid for $11.99.

Sale ends May 28, 2018

 

[Mario P]

Wally World also has this in my New Mexico locations.
$3.64, 128oz, 10%
Works out to $0.284

Local Ace Hardware is 4.99 +tax (6.5%) for 2.5 Gallons of 10% in Central Florida. Local pool supply is cheaper -- we know the owners -- but, they work banker's hours. Ace is open later and on weekends.

If you are in the DC/North VA/MD area there is a place to buy chlorine in bulk. Its about 15%. I filled up 3 (5 gal each) jugs = 15 gallons for about $30.00. Amato Industries. They have a place in MD and Northern VA.

thats a killer price for 15%. I got mine from Wegmans 8.25% 121 oz for ~2.50. I am gonna look for the closer one. SO you just go up there and say where is the bleach ? DO I need to provide my containers or does it have to be a special container?
