Did the BBB method save me money?
This does not include tax, nor does it factor in gas to drive to my pool store (15 minutes away, and I’m sure I’m saving more money since I buy my bleach when I buy my groceries – one stop shopping).

Okay, sure there may be other necessary expenses that could arise….maybe….possibly…..
I’m sticking with BBB…..
