    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!

    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.

    $1.17 for the 96 oz jug of 6% from Walmart is still the cheapest, by a few cents.

    the best that i can find are the 6% Chlorox 3/182 oz cases at Sam's for $8.12

    Tonight I went around looking for some cheap bleach since my stockpile went dry.

    Found 5.25% @ generic A&F brand HomeDepot for $1.79 / Gallon
    6% Bleach brand at HomeDepot for $4.99 / 1.5 Gallon
    10% generic brand at HomeDepot for $3.29 / Gallon

    6% Bleach brand at Kmart for $3.99 / 1.5 Gallon
    ?% Generic brand at Kmart for $1.29 / .75 Gallon - Label has no data so ill pass

    6% Bleach brand at BJ's for $8.99/ 4.5 Gallon

    10% yellow jug at Leslies pool supply for $4.75 / 2.5 Gallon
    Currently running a special buy 2 get 1 free and I have found that they regularly run this special in my area. The drawback as we all know to this option is dealing with their annoying sales team but otherwise it seems to be the best deal on bleach in my area (Miami) Even without the special it seems to me thats the best deal.

    Any tips to finding better deals on bleach - I would be much happier avoiding pool stores as much as humanly possible.
