The 1.99/gal jugs at Atwood don't have a Julian Date, instead have a date that says BB 2/22/20. Does this imply that they may have been manufactured in Feb. of this year and "good" for one year?

That is correct - except - they will not be 'good' for one year. Do not buy any older than 60 days or so.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I figured they're not good for a year, but at what point do you lose enough potency to make it not worth using?

 

[mknauss]

You can always use it. Just will not have much sodium hypochlorite left in it after several months.

Kinston, NC $1.77 "cleaning bleach" at Walmart. 128oz - 1 gallon - 6%: same price and percentage as last year.

My Leslie's (in Austin) keep raising the price, so I need to find another source. My Home Depot (Four Points) always has old stock stored outside. I actually like the Walmart stuff that comes in milk gallons, as they're a lot easier to deal with and dispose of, but I haven't hit up a Wally World yet this season.

Mobile, AL

Pinch a Penny 10.5% 2.5 gallon refills at $6.13.

Containers are $8.99.

If my math is right, thats coming in around .1824 per oz of sodium hypochlorite.

I have yet to find anything even close to that.

Man! you guys are on top of your game! I need to start hunting for better deals on Bleach

Atwoods Farm and Ranch 4 actual 128 oz. gallons of 10% to a case @ 1.99 a bottle.
Can anybody help me with this date code?
BB02/25/20 I'm assuming that is an expiration date code for one year after manufacture which means it would have been made end of Feb in 2019. Just a couple months old sounds about right.
I'm guessing the "BB" preface stands for Best By.

I was getting a case (6, 1 gallon containers) of 6% for 9 bucks at my local restaurant wholesaler. (it's always fresh / less than a month old)
Now they are charging $ 15 this year!

Might do the Walmart generic to get back to a lower price.

Menards (midwest regional chain) has their 12% at $3.99 still. They have been running a pre-season 2-for-1 sale for years. Should be starting in the next couple of weeks. I generally buy a dozen cases.

Aldi has since dropped their concentration as well from 8.25% down to 6%. Same price as always though at about $2.59/gallon. Problem I ran into with Aldi however is that sometimes I swear the bleach I got had sat somewhere in a warehouse or stockroom for eons as the color was all but gone when I poured it into the pool.

Lidl also dropped from 8.25% to 6%. Making Walmart cleaning bleach the easy winner here.

i got 6 jugs today at Atwoods. the date of them is BB 6/25/19. this was the best date i could find. i got them for 1.99.

Ocean state job lot 4 gallons for 11.00.

In the Chicago area both American Sale and The Great Escape have a 4-gallon pack of 12% bleach for around $13. I have found this to be cheapest and easiest route to go.

 

[Utlmnop]

I picked up 10% at Rural King 4 for $9.99. Not the best price but beats the pool stores $18 for 4 gallons of 12.5% for sure!

If the annual Menard's sale pricing continues for 2019, they'll be selling 12% at 4/$8.

Ocean state job lot 4 gallons for 11.00.

How and where? Is it a dollar off for Insiders?
