The dollar stores Like Family Dollar & Dollar General carry 3/4 gallon jugs and they typically sell for $1.13 and up. The best deal I've found is at DollarTree which charges $1 for their 3/4 gallon jugs. Here in Dallas, WalMart's 2 gallon jugs sell for $2.28 and Sam's Club has a 3 pk of Chlorox in 182 fl ounce jugs for $7.82.

Check the hypochlorite percentage on that--the last time I looked at the Dollar Tree down here, it was only 3%.....Originally Posted by HillBoy

Doesn't "ultra" generally signify that it's 6% (or at least 5.25%)?
I checked a dollar tree around here last year and I couldn't find the % listed anywhere on the jug. I don't recall whether it said "ultra".
Standard Chlorox bleach was always 5.25%, about 2 years ago they came out with Ultra as a way to rip off the consumer. You see the difference between regular and ultra is that ultra is 6% but it comes in a smaller bottle. The ultra bleach is not sold in a gallon bottle but in one that smaller, forget exact size. The two generally sell for the same price, but if you calculate how much of the active you are actually getting the 5.25% bottle is normally cheaper.
cheap bleach??
the local home depot has 10% bleach for $1.99/gallon and 5.25% bleach for $1.30/gallon and my local pinch a penny/leslies pool supply sells 10.5% 2.5gallon yellow jugs for $4 a jug which equals $1.60/gallons for 10% seems to be the best deal around, i will definitely now go look @ wal mart and the local dollar stores to try to find a cheaper way to go but for now im stuck @ the local pool stores which i hate!! owell
