I just happened to see this the other day as well, same store. I was over there to get CYA and luckily happened to turn around. Haven't noticed any issues since going to this from GV brand 8.25%.
I just bought a 4 gallon pack of 12.5% bleach at the local pool store for $12.99 + tax. That's $3.25/gallon of 12.5%, or $25.98/gallon of 100%.
Atwoods has a 4 pack of Pool Shock for $6.99 - it's 10%. Pretty good deal as that is $1.74 per gallon.
Its based on the Julian date on the bottle. 16150 = 2016 and the 150th day of the year. Which is the 29th of May, 2016. Capisce??
I got 121's of 12.5% at Menards for $3.99 each yesterday (and there's a rebate to take it lower). Maybe not the best price but better than $17.99 for 4 x 12.5% at my pool store.
That applies for laundry bleach. All of the pool sanitizer labeled bottles in 4 packs in my area have the date in standard 06/08/2016 style.Its based on the Julian date on the bottle. 16150 = 2016 and the 150th day of the year. Which is the 29th of May, 2016. Capisce??
The date code provided varies by manufacturer across all types. I buy some 12.5% that has Julian dating. Another 12.5% kind has expiration dating, assumed to be 1 year from production as this year so far they were labeled EXP 04/01/2017. Some may have actual production date such as the 05/01/2016.
Ollies Bargain Outlet dropped their prices. Now $2.49/gallon for 12.5% "Austins pool tech" brand. Picked up another 2 cases
Was just there myself... says 1/11/2016 well more like 16111 so not sure if expired or made that day... it is an actual full gallon though

Why did you pay $2.49 if you saw it for $2.24 at Weis? Was that a sale that's now over?
Havre De Grace. Not a sale. However they were sitting outside in the sun and heat so I didn't want to chance it. They're out now anyways, just have a rack full of algaecide.

First link is a generic online check. From that page, go to "store locator" in top menu and put in your zip code, then select the store near you that you prefer. Once the store locale is set, search for product "pool essentials chlorinating liquid". That should give you a better idea if it's in stock as that store.
Second link goes to a third party site that then checks stock at Walmart.
