That’s super messed up considering most people probably don’t know to check the date and just buy it thinking they are getting what they are paying for.

Home depot Morganville NJ has a giant stack of 10% 4 gal boxes for $17.98 (4.50/GAL) manufacture date March 1st 2022.
Just picked up 32 gallons at Ocean State Job Lot in Deer Park, NY with mid-march 2022 dates. $4.99/gal...ouch.
In Plano, Texas the new regular price for the 2.5 gallon container at Pinch a Penny is now $14.98 (~$6/gallon), though this weekend it is discounted by 10%. I paid less than $10 for the same 2.5 gallon container (~$4/gallon) just a few weeks ago. The local Home Depot is selling their 10% product for $4.50/gallon. Looks like I'll be going to Home Depot for my chlorine this summer.

Where have you found a Home Depot with stock? The couple I have checked, Far North Dallas/Plano, have none and they've taken inventory off their web completely, won't even let you see who carries the product, just says check with the store.
I found some at Lowe's on Preston last week, but the bottles were in pretty bad shape and most over 60 days old. I bought 4 gallons that were newer, but I'll need more in a couple of weeks.
Wow. That price you provided at PaP in Dallas area has not come down to the Houston area and I hope it does not. They are running the 10% discount this weekend so I bought some as well.
Likewise with HD - they have not had stock for past 2 months and I have 2 stores within 10 miles and neither have it.
One of the Irving Home Depot's has Liguid Chlorine. I was surprised the last couple of times I was there, they had it in stock. There was a full pallet in stock. The item is still on the Hm Depot site but it stopped displaying current store stock last year.

$4.60/gal for Pool Essentials 10% at some Wal-Marts in Waco. Stock is dwindling though...
WalMart seems to have the best price at $4.60 in many areas but stock is tight. This weekend I picked up 8 gallons of Pool Essentials 10% for $5/gallon with a March 1 date at Ollie’s for anyone who has one nearby.
Went to Home Depot and their stock (stored outside) was $6 and Clorox bleach was $7 a gallon.

I really, really need these stores closer to me. The closest one is 2 hours away.

thanks, but that seems pricey? I am going to go to ocean state job lot, i think there's is 12% and it used to be like $12.99 a 4 pack, but i think the price probably is higher now. going to check it out in a bit.

Anyone know a place in LA (west valley)? I get 4 gallons of 12.5% for $26.24 which is $6.56 per gallon. This is from discount pool mart which is a HASA dealer.
here in quebec Canac has 5 Litre jugs for $6.50 $CAD$
one gal is 3.78 Litres. couldn't find a date on the bottle though but seems to raise FC the appropriate amount in my spa according to pool math and testing. I don't see much looking like a date on the picture of the box posted can someone enlighten me about date codes all I see is 2033609 12c ca1
thanks

Seems that is 2020 Dec 31? I’m surprised it still works effectively.
The first two digits are the year (20) and the next 3 digits are the day of the year with Jan 1 being day 1. So yours is 336 which I believe is Dec 31 since 2020 was a leap year and Feb 29 was part of it.
