    For future reference, comparing bleach prices is tricky since there are several variables (price, quantity, and concentration) so sale prices can be deceiving. But there is a simple calculation that enables a quick, accurate assessment. Price/ounces/concentration. So for your bleach, $9.00/363 ounces/8.25%= 30 cents per ounce of chlorine. As a point of reference, I by bleach at Aldi at about $0.21/oz, and if I remember correctly, Walmart's regular price is around $0.28/oz. I recently found pool chlorine on sale at Menards for $0.14/oz! If you can remember to start with the price then divide by quantity and concentration, you can always compare prices and know on the spot if a sale is really a good deal (I rarely find even sale prices that beat Aldi here in NW Indiana).

    Thanks for that Temadczar! I just recently started purchasing 10% LC from a local pool dealer for $5 for 2 gal. So with that formula I'm at about $0.20/oz.
