and a few really, really bad ones. Jagermeister is what they really need to quit making. That stuff IS the devil's juice.

I am surprised that no one has noticed that there has been a run on toilet paper. Local Target was out yesterday.

Hi All,
How are others dealing with low bleach availability due to coronavirus concerns? My usual go-to places where I buy bleach are completely out this week.
thanks

I was just about to post this same question - I was allowed to buy two small ones at our grocery store and one larger one at CVS. Target, Lowe’s, and Home Depot seem to have some in stock online, but you aren’t allowed to buy it online, so I imagine they have a limit per customer as well.

Bleach v corona virus - backup plan?
We’ve had a warm winter in NC and I anticipate swimming by early May. As such, I’ve started thinking about starting to stock up on bleach. I usually purchase around 20 gallons at a time. With all the panic about corona virus amuck, I’m wondering if this is going to be possible this season. I’m...

Our local home depot has plenty of cases on hand. I'm not sure about limits but at three gallons per sealed case and multiple family members, it seems you could get what you need.
Home depot. I just bought 5 (3 gallon) cases. It was time to refill my chlorine injection tank.

There is always grain alcohol. We use it to make Limoncello (diluted down of course)

I keep being reminded of The Simpson’s episode where Homer saw an Alcohol fueled car at an auto show and envisioned taking turns at the pump. ‘One for you, One for me, One for you, one for me’.
At least when your area goes on mandatory quarantine, you will be stuck sitting in a lounge chair beside your pool. Other people without pools at their house or in apartments will go insane with boredom. My biggest fear is getting stuck in the house for 2-3 weeks with the kids because they have shut down the schools. At least they will be able to swim and I can proactively stock up on beer now.

Alcohol conteBT is determined with a hydrometer. They are very accurate for large concentrations.

Look at Walmart's pool section for their 12% liquid chlorine. My husband found plentiful new displays of pool chlorine last week. We know it comes in stock at Walmart each spring then out by August or so. Some folks looking for laundry bleach or liquid chlorine at hardware stores may not think to check Wallyworld's pool section.

Ouch. Just checked to see if my local Wallyworld had liquid bleach- yes, plain, 121 ounces for $2.64, but limited to 4 jugs.
