Bleach prices 2013

[Beens]

Hi all,

I was just in Target and they have their store brand Up & Up 8.25% 121oz bleach for sale, buy 3 get 1 free. It's $2.99 each. Comes to $2.24 each.

It's not the greatest but I haven't found anything cheaper around here so I figured I'd share it. (I've just been paying the $2.99)

22.5c/CL Oz. is pretty awesome around here!
Assuming they have the same deal here.

Is it an in-store special, coupon in a flyer.... ?

It was just an in store sale as far as I know. Tags on the shelf. They weren't just for bleach it said something about being for Up & Up products meaning you could mix and match. I didn't look too hard for other items that qualified because I was in it for the bleach. LoL I will probably be in Target later and I will check the tags again. I'm not sure when they expired but I know Target weekly sales usually run Sunday - Saturday so it's possible that tomorrow is the last day. I might have to pick up 4 more if that is the case...

Well I double checked the Target buy 3 get 1 free and it's going on for a long time. The end date on the shelf tag was 9-7! Of course...they only had 2 bottles left! Errrg. Must be other BBBers around here that snatched them all up.

Hopefully they'll have more the next time I'm in so I can pick up another 4.

Go in the morning, they do the re-stock at night and finish up right before the store opens. If they got a truck with bleach, it will be on the floor. My eldest is a stocker at Target.

Walmart 76017 3 jug case 8.25% 121 oz. $6.00 But be careful at the checkout as some cashiers think they are supposed to open the case and scan the bottle rather than the case UPC. The per bottle rate is $2.98 !!! The cases are on an end-cap or center isle display not in the bleach isle.

I wish I could find those walmart cases here! (Virginia Beach, va) No sign of them though. I've checked a few... I'll have to stick with target for now...

Wegmans in my area has 4 Gallons of 12.5% for $14.99. This is .23/oz which is good for my area and a lot less jugs to haul.

Just stopped by Ollie's yesterday. Last time I was there they only had algaecide. They have Gallon size 12.5% chlorine "shock" for $2.99. Manufactured on 7/10.
This comes to .18/oz which is the best I have found around here (Rochester, NY)

So just curious....what is generally accepted as a good price-per-ounce for bleach 6% or 8.25%? We've been buying private label from a local grocery store. It's 64oz of 8.25% private label for $1.98-ish.

We have a Supercenter in our town but it's madness going in there. In the next town over, we have a Target and an Aldis. I wouldn't mind driving to either if the math works out (savings minus gas = profit).

It's 64oz of 8.25% private label for $1.98-ish.

1.98/(64*0.825)= $0.37/oz NaClO...not a good price. What constitutes a good price is very regional. Up here in MN I can consistently get it for $0.15/oz NaClO...but in general if you can get in the low 0.20's that is decent nation wide. Look around at some of your big box stores or pool stores for 12.5% or 10% and see if the price is better.

I am happy when I get it near the 25 cents per ounce CL range

If that next town over isn't too far away, check out Aldi. I'm getting 96 oz of 6% there for $1.29, which works out to about 0.22/oz of Chlorine. Not the greatest price, but the best I can find around here.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Didn't realize I was overpaying for bleach.
We visited the Target nearby tonight and found the BY3GET1 deal which came out to 0.22
So we loaded up the Mini Copper. I confirmed shelf tag says valid through 9/7.

About how many days worth of bleach should the avg BBB'r be buying at a time?
It has expiration dates but they seem petty generous.

 

[msgtdan]

I usually try to buy a month's worth at a time.

Thanks for this. Just picked up the 4 for $9 in Austin. Best deal in Texas for 8.25% (until 9/7/13).

If buying bleach from a pool store, what containers to people use?

 

[techguy]

When I buy bleach at a pool store, I typically get these

After I pay a deposit for the jugs and crate. When they are empty, I take them back to the store and get replacements. My last set was a blue crate with blue bottles.

I also get the four-to-a-crate here in PHX at the pool store. Five dollar deposit for the yellow crate and then $3.69 per gallon for HASA 18% liquid chlorine. "Advertised 18 percent, guaranteed 15 percent" or so I'm told.

 

[bobhall98]

Walmart in Pittsburgh Area $6.47 for 2 gallons 10% liquid chlorine.

Dave we are the same here. I just purchased 8 more 96 oz jugs of 6% at Aldi's. Seems to be the best price for our area. Watching for sales here. Our Target does not have that deal and that would be better as it is 8.25%
