I couldn't even find any at Menards in Green Bay WI today. We still have snowbanks from the couple feet of snow we got 3 weeks ago, but I'm ready to open the pool. I found 12.5% at 4 gallons for $10 at Fleet Farm here. That's pretty much what I usually pay.
Re: Liquid Chlorine Prices
Walmart isn't the only outlet whose supplier is messing with bleach concentration and keeping it a secret. Dollar General had their store brand 121 oz "concentrated" bleach on sale this week 2/$4, which is great except that as new stock comes in it's 6% instead of 8.25%. So what I got off the shelves was mostly 8.25% but there were a few 6% in there since I didn't think to look at each bottle. The 6% stuff has the same SKU above the UPC, but the UPC is different. Consolation is that I had a $5 off $25 coupon to apply to this as well, so that's still a pretty good deal lately even if it had all been 6%.

I think the Menards buy one for 3.99 get one free is up today.
WOW, Just saw a sale ad for FleetFarm. Four pack of 128oz 12.5% for $9.99 that's 15.6 cents per oz. Too bad they aren't national but if you have a Fleet Farm close now would be the time to stack some up in the basement.
Regular price is 14.95 / 23.4 per oz

are there any good sales in the northeast?
roughly how much liquid chlorine is used per day/per week for a 27k gallon in-ground, vinyl liner pool? and does the liquid chlorine need to be added every day? morning and/or night?

There's an awful lot that you would need to figure out to come up with your own solid numbers. But, as a point of reference, my 20k gallon in-ground vinyl liner pool generally takes about 5 cups of 12.5% bleach per day.
I just bought 48 gallons of the 12.5% at the Menards sale: Regular $3.99, buy-one-get-one.
The trick for me is that this isn't advertised at all in the store. It's entirely on-line at menards.com. I had to complete the sale on line and click "pick up in store". Worked fine, though.

I recently purchased HDX from HD ... not confident of age n strength. Put one gallon in closed pool b4 going away for week. Just in case I floated one puck as well. Chlorine was at zero will see when I return home to NJ to open pool.
Menards has 12.5% on sale for $2.00/gallon. Sale ends today! Picked up 30 gallons myself.
Florida Leslies pool stores - get on physical mailing list AND email list to get coupons for 2.5 gallon jug refills. Sales are often 2 for $7-8 and 3 for $10. Punch card loyalty program has 11th refill free. 2x or 3x punches for refills on wednesday. Leslies rewards gives $5 for every $100 spent if you use the same phone number and registered email address on all purchases.
Pinch a penny frequently has 10% off their refills, but no loyalty or rewards.
Most Walmarts have 10% jugs in garden, grilling, pool, lawn tools section - check the date though if old skip and Great Value 8.25% bleach always fresh. This is indoors at most places now, except near amusement parks seemingly. (lowes and homedepot have them in shade but outside.)

Re: Liquid Chlorine Prices
I found that out also. Walmart is selling the 6% at the same price they previously were selling 8.25%. I haven't been able to find the 8.25%.

Looks like HEB raised their 8.25% to $2.94, still best I can find in Austin. Hoping Ace does their Memorial day special 2/$5 for 10%.

Target in Central NJ as $2.89 for their generic "up & up" brand 8.25% 121oz jugs. It's the "up & up" brand, labeled as concentrated/unscented.

Was all set to buy this at Sam's, got there and was over $9, and 6%! Ended up buying 3pk of hdx at Home Depot. Date 051, not great, but figure it's at least 8% by the time I use it. HEB still looks good until they lower it to 6%.

I am a happy Sam's member, but in my opinion - DO NOT BUY the Chlorox "Regular" with "Cloromax Technology" as I've read TFP user reports of it causing problems with their water feel.

Cloromax Technology likely counts as an additive - plus, it says it is only effectively 6% concentration, not 8.25%... skip this one.

Any better places to buy acid other than Home Depot? I spend almost as much on acid as bleach. $13 per 2 seems high.
