cheap bleach at Dollar General

[VOLDADDY]

I thought I'd post that our local Dollar General stores have 6% bleach (American Value brand) in 3 qt. for $1.35. Sure beats what I've been able to find at Wal-Mart or Sam's.

(I'm near Chattanooga, Tennessee. I think Dollar General is a mostly southeastern US chain.)

Chuck,

I'm in Ft Oglethorpe. Watch the sales ads in Wednesday's papers. You will find the Bi-Lo generic brand on sale for .99 cents a lot. K-Mart also runs their generic bleach for .99 quite often. I have bought bleach at the Wal-Mart on Hwy 2-A cheaper than what you quoted. When you find it on sale buy several cases.

I'm pretty sure the American Value brand from Dollar General is 5.25%

I just bought a bunch today, label says 6%.

We just bought some from our local Aldi's. It's 96 ounce ultra at 6% for $1.00. The brand is Tundra.

Man did I get ripped off!

My normally decent priced pool store (and fairly honest, and decent repair/installers) sells 12.5% bleach for $6.95/Gal!!! I guess it's a pay for convenience thing. It's a product called Shock-It, very generic looking white jug w/red and white label. I've not seen this strength bleach anywhere else in my area (DC/Balt/Annap). It sure beats my cauldron of pool water and cal hypo that I have to stir up each time, but at that price, I think I'll continue to stir, or hit the Chlorox aisle.

Thanks! That's a start. It's not terribly far from me, probably 35 mile round trip, or close to $6 in gas, but that's still waaay cheaper than where I was going (Beltsville, about 2/3 the distance). Plus, it's almost all highway.

Are they a good store for other items as well?

Bought bleach @ Big Lots (sno-ee), $1.29/gal. Did not have a percentage on label, so I e-mailed the company for a MSDA. Found out it is ONLY 3%!!!
AAAHHHHHH!!!!! UUUURRRRR! !@$%$%^$#@@^&$#@%$^

What % is the bleach? I don't see it on line.

[cajunfla]

the flyer does not specify what %, but I was in there 3 days ago, and the salesman told me theirs is 10%, as we were 'discussing' using BBB.
I just had to. It's soooooo much fun.
