I would only check if that chlorine contains stabilizer.
I believe 10% chlorine target used to sell for a $5 per gallon had stabilizer in it
other than that I don't know how you guys get these prices. I guess I never looked hard enough

Nope, but some of us aren't so lucky. I've yet to find a decent source of 10% in Austin. I've noticed people in nearby parts of Texas aren't doing any better. I see a SWG in my future.
I've got a week or two before I run out of the Publix bleach I bought...but I need to go back to the pool store to exchange a cleaning pole I bought today. They fill the jugs themselves and have stickers they put on the jug with the cautions and such...along with the chemical analysis.
If I remember right, it said "10.5% Sodium hypochlorite, 89.5% inert ingredients" I'll see if I can get one of the stickers tomorrow.

I actually get a better deal. My Ace sells 2.5 gallons of 10% for about $4.30 each. I'm not sure on the exact percentage, but I believe it is around 10%.
just called three local Ace stores - no 2.5 gal, $4.79 for one gallon

Looks like I got lucky! My local Leslie's also does the same thing for the same price. My local Pinch-A-Penny also has 2.5 gallons, but I'm unaware of their prices.
I just stopped into Home Cheapo to get some muriatic acid, and lo and behold, there on the shelf is 1 gallon jugs of "liquid chlorinator." Wow! Almost no one around here sells the pool-strength liquid... check the label, it's 10% sodium hypochlorite, good, good - so how much is it? WHAT? $16.43 a gallon! 
Guess I'll just stick with my 8.25% Clorox from Sam's!

I was in Home Depot recently and there were many cases of the 10% sitting outside in 100 degree temp. Checked the date code. Manufactured in 2013. Probably not worth a dime a gallon at it's current degraded strength.

I saw the 10% at Home Depot for $10.99 for 4 gallons about two weeks ago.

Just got a coupon from Ace for 50% off any non-sales item under $30. Looks like I will get 2.5 gallons of 10% for about $2.50!
Tried Leslie's for LC, paid $17 for 4 gal (128 oz). They marketed "10-12.5%", but when I opened the box and looked under ingredients, it was only 10%. Felt a bit duped, but lesson learned. At least I am going to earn a $5 credit on my next purchase at Leslie's because I racked up enough points for that. Next time I'll get the 10% from Leslie's using the $5 credit, but after that I'll just stick with Walmart or Aldi's.
Anyone in Houston want to split a Bleach drum (Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5%), 53 gl dr, $2.20/gl... PM me
Farm Store in S. Illinois and E. Mo name Buchheit (family owned) has 10% gallans for $1.99
I buy it by the drum also but it's 30 gallons for $68. I blow through it in about a month as hot as it is here.
I guess us Florida people are spoiled (Tampa, FL)
My local Pinch A Penny has 2.5g jugs 10.5% for $4.90 after tax. Basically $1.96 a gal/10.5%
This is after I purchased 2 jugs, but buy 10 get 1 free. They usually have BOGO refill sales too...
I'm only using about 5g a month, though. $10 is way cheaper than what my pool company was charging me.

mjj047s,
I hear you on that, my Leslies just sent the normal bi-monthly mailer that has 2 2.5gal for $8.54 after tax, they also do the buy 10 get 1 free deal so I get 11 jugs 27.5gal for roughly $1.55/gal 10.5%. Also this doesn't take into account that I sometimes get them to fill one of my 3 jugs free just because...
I didn't have to buy my jugs as I see them on the side of the road all the time and pick them up

dam Ricky'sMom, they never hook me up. They aren't super nice at my PaP though. Are the containers interchangeable at both stores? Meaning can I take my PaP jugs to Leslie's? Both are pretty close. I get the Leslie's mailer too...Wonder if PaP takes competitor's coupons.
Also never seen any jugs on the side of the road!
You have good luck, my friend.
EDIT: PaP policy
If you find a lower price on an identical item, bring in the competitor’s advertisement showing the specific item and price and we will match it. If you have already made a purchase at our store and find a lower advertised price within
30 days from date of purchase, with a valid receipt, we will refund you the difference of what you paid.
DOUBLE EDIT: PaP's jugs have their name embossed into the side. I'm sure they don't want them at Leslie's

Jugs are jugs. Leslie's should be happy to be poaching another store's customers. I'd be surprised and offended if they refused to fill them.
