Cheap Bleach?

[Watermom]

The smaller jugs are usually 3 quarts. (0.75 gallons) Remember, you don't need to buy Clorox. Buy the generic stuff. Same stuff, cheaper. No fragrances, fancy flavors, etc. And, as this thread states, check to see what strength you are buying. If it is only 3% (I have also seen it that low) for about the same price, that is no bargain.

wow! my local Leslie's store in Northern CA - 2 gallon box of 10% = $7!! I guess I'm in "They can afford it ville"

trying Walmart & Home Depot next

My Walmart sells the 96 oz 6% bleach for $1.17, that comes out to an equivalent price of $2.60 per gallon of 10%. Plus the higher concentration stuff tends to degrade faster.

Buy it quickly....our WalMart has gone up to $1.52 for the 96 oz jug--and there were none of the bigger jugs to be found. Looks like people are finally taking my advice!

Anyone in metro NY area...

Foodtown (as of 5/20/09)has 1 gal (128 oz) jugs for $1. Dont know if they are 6 or 5.25 but I picked up 10 anyway.

don't buy bleach unless the concentration is listed. one of the dollar type stores in my area is selling gallons for $1, which looked great - until i found out that they're THREE percent. ugh.

every spring i do the rounds and find all the best prices i can, and this year the winner is meijer. not sure why they're selling it at this price, but they have 10% liquid at ten bucks a case (4 gallons). most other places charge between 12 and 15 for the same product.

on a per-ounce of actual chlorine, that's the best i could find.

Still, here, the best price as at one of the pool stores. They are selling the carboys of 12% for $16, which is equiv to $1.60/gal of Ultra (6%). When I've tested it from this store, it's usually around 14% so it's actually a little cheaper than $1.60 for 6%. They do a HUGE turnover on carboys so it's always pretty fresh.
