Nice to see another Canadian here! We'll be driving from Quebec to Whitby this weekend to visit friends.

I just did the math on this yesterday in fact and came to the conclusion that the cost per ppm between Purox from Canadian Tire and Javex from IGA is the same, with cal hypo being a bit less expensive than bleach. And you have to buy twice as much from IGA because the bleach there is 5-6% and at Canadian Tire it's 10-12% . I'll find the numbers in My Big Pile o' Papers and post them for you.
