2016 bleach prices

[bbodb1]

As a reminder for those living in the more rural areas, Dollar General's house brand bleach is 8.25% (in the 121oz bottle). Dollar General usually runs a weekly special of $5 a $25 purchase (some weeks it may be $5 off a $30 purchase) that can bring the bleach price (per bottle) down to about $2.39 per bottle. The best way to find that deal is to sign up for the Dollar General digital coupon program but you can also watch your receipts from a DG purchase as they print that coupon on sales receipts in the week leading up to the sale.

If you are in the DG digital coupon club, you do NOT need a prior purchase to clip/use the coupon.

Also, Fred's stores has an affinity program and while the benefit is not quite as good as DG's, it brings the price down a bit too.

INGLES in Anderson, SC has store brand for $1.98. Problem is strength is not listed on the bottle. I'm guessing it is 6% or so based on price and no marking. Thoughts? It was produced this month so at least it is fresh. I haven't bought any bc I don't know the strength and wanted to hear opinions first.

Most 8.25 is marked with it. You could Google the brand and see if you can find an msds. Some of the cheap stuff is "1-5%" which isn't worth $1. When in doubt, buy at Target or Walmart.

So here in North San Antonio, at the Super Wal-mart, they have the 10% Chlorinating Liquid for $2.50 (I called and asked, have not been to store yet). I guess this is a good price? I have been buying the HDX Germicidal Bleach (8.25%) at Home Depot for 2.99. The HDX bleach date is good (16 112) which is April 22? Seems really new to already be on shelves. Wondering the date on the stuff at Wal-mart. If old, am I better off with the fresh Home Depot stuff?

Yeah I looked it up and it was 6%. Not a terrible deal at $1.98 but I'll stick with the WalMart at $2.94 I've been buying. I saw the pool chlorinator at the super walmart for $2.50 but that store is all the way across town. I'd prefer to get the great value brand bleach at the neighborhood market right down the street.

Scored a case of 10% for $7.99 at our new Rural King today. It's in the next town over. I was excited about it being $10. the last time I was there. Searched until I found a 99 2016 date code. Woo hoo!

Picked up 40 gallons at Ollies at 2.99 per gal today. Good 12.5%

Make sure to store it in a cool, shaded place as heat can degrade it over time.

Starting 5-1-16 through 5-15-16 Menard's will be having their BOGO chlorine sale. Buy 1 at 3.99, get 1 free, or .125 per fl. oz

Buchheit farm store in House Springs,MO has 10% for 2.99/gal. When you buy a case (4 gal), they give you 10% off all season. Currently, they are running a sale: 1 case for $7.96. There are other Buchheit locations in Missouri and I think a few in Illinois.

I go to Ocean State Job Lot and pick it up for $1.49 for a gallon at 10%.

I'm in NY and they stock 12.5% at $2.99/gal. Is that in their pool supplies, or in another section?

BTW, OSJL bleach has no discernable date that I can find. I bought 24 gallons anyway because the clerk said that they got it in just a few days ago. Anyone else noticed this oddity with their "Mega-Shock" LC?

My menards flyer says limit 6 free gallons per guest. Guess I'll be going SWG. Liquid is expensive in my area this year or in this case a hassle for multiple purchases. In the past I'd stock up for the summer during this bogo sale.. hard to beat $2/gal for 12%

 

[PoolBoyDave]

$14 for 4gal @10% - Leslie's Mentor
$18 for 4gal @10% - Litehouse Mentor

OSJLhas been selling gallon jug chlorine for $2.99 for at least four years now. It's away 12.5% and always fresh. They source their chlorine from a least three different manufacture that I have seen:

Pool Tech Shock from James Austins Company, Mars PA.
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 the jugs. 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.

How much bleach do most of you go through in a season? Trying to gauge how much I will use from May to September in my 24 foot agp.
