Looking for cheap bleach

[Cardiac]

We have "Dollar General" stores here in NW Indiana that also sell 6% jugs for $1.00. We don't have anything around here that sells any higher concentrations.....

BTW, I am a new user here, but have read almost every post on the forum (Seems like it anyway), as we are new pool owners this summer. I adopted the BBB method right off the bat, and our pool's chemistry is spot on. Which was no easy task since we have really crappy well water.

Thanks for all the tips!!

Welcome to the forum, Cardiac....

I'll have to recheck our Dollar General stores again around here, but the last time I checked for bleach they had it for $1 but it was only 3%. If they've started selling the 6% that would beat WalMart's price tremendously!

Ditto - I've been buying from Walmart, but the Dollar General deal sounds better...

In NJ, Branch Brook Pools (Namco) just had an unadvertised sale on gallons of 12.5% for $3.50 each. That's like $1.68 for a gallon of 6% bleach.

I don't know how long the sale runs.

Here in North FL, Walgreens is selling their gallons of 6% for .99!

Are they gallons or 3-qt. jugs?

Target had a special last weekend .....3 of the 1.42 Clorox jugs for $5!
Stupid me only bought 3 because I was in a rush!
DAM!

ack... 3 qts.

I always thought those were gallon jugs. Guess thats what I get for not reading the labels.

I went looking for some deals on bleach today. Some stores did not list strength on their house brands. Its probably safe to assume its 3% bleach when not indicated on the label. At Lowe's 10% strength on one gallon size was $4.78. At Big Lots strength not listed(3%) 3 quart size $1.48. Dollar General was the only place I found 6% strength. The 142 oz. size which is 1 gallon-14 ounces was $2.00. Their 3 quart 6% strength size was $1.00. At Dollar Tree a real one gallon size strength not listed(3%?) was $1.00. In summary make sure of the size the container when comparing prices. In just the 4 stores I visited three different sizes were available 3qt(96oz), 1 gallon(128oz) and 142oz

Since my local Save-A-Lot closed (96 oz, 6% bleach for $1.00), I did a quick survey in my local area (Arlington, TX) to find a substitute source. Here's what I found (oz/$/%):

Walgreens (96/1.99/6)
Aldi (96/0.99/6)
Dollar Tree (96/1.00/?) "So White" brand
Dollar General (128/1.00/?) "Top Job" brand
Big Lots (96/1.50/6)
Big Lots (128/1.50/?) "Top Job" brand
Family Dollar (96/1.50/6)
Family Dollar (174/2.50/6)

At just over 1 cent per oz. of 6% bleach, I will be buying from Aldi (you have to pay cash, though.)
