Don't know if the same everywhere but our local Wally World just raised the price of the big jugs (182 oz) great value 6% bleach from $2.54 to $2.98.

Family Dollar has 6% 182 oz for $2.50. Wasn't worth the extra trip for .04 per jug but for .58 cents per...

Another dollar store here has "Awesome" 96oz jugs of bleach for $1.00. No where on the label does it state the %. I'm going to see what kind of ppm increase I get from the $1 ones not a great deal if 3% but if it's 5% or 6%.....

I think you can safely conclude that if the % is not stated, it's very low. It's *always* best to avoid 'mystery' chemicals with unknown ingredients, if possible.

But, thanks for the price info.

You just made me check my receipt, because I went on a "bleach run" this morning--and you're right. $2.98 at the Louisiana Wally Worlds, too. May have to check our Family Dollar stores around here There is one less than 1/2 mile from my nearest WM, and it's easier to get in and out of, too!!

Been getting mine at Fred's for years. 182 oz. for $2.50
Every once in a while, I'll pick it up at Target (Up brand) for about the same price, but haven't been there in a while.

Just found some 12.5% liquid shock from a big box store (BJs) here for 1.56 per gallon equivent to the 6%. Its 12.50 for 4 gallons of 12.5% so its equivelent to 8 gallons of 6%. That is the cheapest I have found around here. Costco has bleach for about 2.25 per gallon.
