I did not see an ad. I only saw it at the store.
What are the right questions to ask regarding additives?
You can test it yourself. All you need is a glass eyedropper that measures 1 ml, a 5 gallon bucket, and an empty 2 liter soda bottle.
1) Fill the soda bottle (to the normal fill level) and pour it into the bucket. Do this five times until you have 10 liters (less than 5 gallons).
2) Use the eyedropper to add 1 ml of bleach to the water.
3) Mix
4) measure the bucket's FC--that number (say, 5.25ppm) will be EXACTLY the same as the bleach's strength--5.25% in our example.

Aldi's is still cheaper in my neck of the woods. $.99 for 96 oz. Not much cheaper, only about a few cents. Aldi's bleach is labeled as 6% strength.
Aldi's Bleach = $.0103 per oz.
KMart = $.0109 per oz.
I like Aldi's 96 oz. size because one bottle gives me exactly 3.5 ppm of FC in my pool. Downside is all of the bottles I have sitting around.
I would really want to know the % of sodium hypochlorate. I would really be surprised if it isn't listed somewhere on the bottle, maybe not very clearly. Some grocery store generic brand bleach around here (Ottawa, Ontario) have 3.5% content and aren't cheaper than the Javex with 5.25%. I don't know if that nasty bit of marketing is in the US or not but I would be wary of a good price without knowing the strength of the product.
