7lbs of granular stabilizer is $50 at the pool store. Are there cheaper options?

It works well but the cost keeps going up and up. Are there cheaper options to accomplish the same thing? I've never bought anything but what the pool store has sold me for CYA so not sure what to get elsewhere.

Home Depot has the same for about $30 around here.
 
Ama$on has it for around $30 shipped for 7lbs...couple brands are even cheaper (Puri-tech 10lbs for $30)
 
Are all of the different brands basically the same thing? Puri-tech vs Suncoast vs Pool-Time (home depot) and then others? As long as the chemical listed on the bag is Cyanuric Acid I can get whatever is cheapest?
