That’s a steal, backhand! Cincinnati area Meijer has 4-gal cases of 10% for $9.99 (May 2018 dates) which is pretty good based on what I usually see. I’m headed to Menard’s tomorrow though for that sweet 12.5% deal (and a new deck box).

I used the same bleach from wal-mart this year as last. Still $1.77/gal + tax. They have the great value cleaning bleach in a light blue label and a light green label, all same price until I noticed the blue label is 121oz. and the green label is 128oz. So now I get the light green label. Both are 6% bleach.

The only thing I see online that's 128 oz is this (blue). Great Value Cleaning Bleach, 128 fl oz - Walmart.com
Will check out store next time I'm there.

So ... what’s the story with the disappearance of 8.25% bleach from so many places? Is it discussed earlier in this thread?
Businesses know that most people will singe at price increases but are too stupid to notice reduction in size or quality of product. That's why we get 121 Oz instead of 128 which is full gallon, or the 6% instead of 8.25%

Having trouble finding decent prices in Maryland - specifically, Montgomery/Frederick County. The best I've seen so far is Walmart's Chlorinating Liquid in their pool section. 128 FL OZ at 10% for $3.67 which is $0.287 per FL OZ. Anyone seen better in the area?

Was just in HEB and surprised to see their Bravo brand back down to $2.59 (had been recently raised to $2.94), only the regular version (which is what we want). Still 8.25%. Only bought 3 since I have 16g of 10% coming from Ace.

The link above isn't supported by TFP however the PoolMath App is and also has a price calculator built in.The link above has been on and off over the last few months and it's future is unknown.
I wish PoolMath would add price info about whether it is a good deal or bad deal like the above link. That website lists 6 color coded choices ranging from "great" to "horrible". I don't need the color coding and three choices would do on my Pool Math App if they would consider adding that info!

Yes, I just wish there more Rural King stores in this area! But it is a great deal!
Dollar General used to be my go-to for bleach...they have $2 of $10 and $5 off $25 coupons.
This past week, they had a .75 coupon on bleach. I thought it would be the same 8.25% that I bought all last year...no...everything on their shelf was 6%. I was told that they had to decrease their shelf space for bleach from an 8 ft. section to 4 ft., but increase fabric softener space.
Just stopped in Fleet Farm in MN...sale ends today. 4 jugs of 12.5% for $9.99. I did some stocking up...

I'll no longer drive out to Ace for "on sale" pool shock. Ordered 16g during Memorial day sale, I figured since they were out of stock anything coming in would be fresh. After 2 week wait, they came in. January '18, so 5 months old; 10% probably closer to 7 or 8%, or less if in hot warehouse. I cancelled all but 4. HEB 8.25% at $2.59 2 weeks old is a better deal (and 1 mile away instead of 20). Watch the date codes!

Live in Northern CA. Cheapest I could find is at Home Depot 2 gallons of 10% chlorine at $6.17 if you buy 4. Comes to $0.24/oz of chlorine. Not cheap. I would be interested if anyone in East Bay area has found cheaper than in Sams, Costco, Walmart, Leslie, bulk supplier, Dollar Tree.
I'm also in Cincinnati. The Meijer $10 price is just a special sale price I think... at least last year it's regular price was $13 but it went on sale for $10 once in awhile. Kroger has 4 packs of 10% for $10 as the regular everyday price. The dates are usually within 30 days too. Just a heads up for a fellow Cincinnatian.
In Panama (Panama) in the retail stores you can only purchase regular Clorox at 3-4% for 4$/gal
The best that I have found until now in wholesale is:
Liquid chlorine 10-12%: 13$ for a 5gal swapping tanks and 17$ with tank.
Calcium Hypochlorite 65%: 148.50$ 100lb (seems a good option as I have to add Calcium regularly, more in rainy season)

I've been using the Lidl brand 8.25% bleach lately and it seems to be working fine. It's pretty cheap too. I'll update with most current price once I pick more up tonight!
Edit: The Lidl bleach was $2.15 for 121 oz of 8.25% , which breaks down to $0.20/oz of chlorine. They were out of bleach at the time, so I went to Ollie's Discount Outlet and found 128 oz of 10% bleach for $2.99, breaking down to $0.23/oz of chlorine, and it was fresh. According to the date, it was manufactured 2 months ago. This was in Northern Virginia.

I did used Lidl brand 2 gallons, but I think it put me behind little bit. I returned back to my initial bleach from Wegmans $2.99 vs $2.19(Lidl) I think with same strength. I could be just me but I did not like the Lidl brand - though I love Lidl, those german sourdough breads are one to live for.

Weiss in Maryland has 12.5 percent "shock" for swimming pools for $2.24. Label says 12.5% sodium hypochlorite and 87.5% "other" but I think it is just strong bleach. We bought out the entire store.
