Looking for cheap bleach

[Heavyhook]

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.)

Just be careful to check for the percentage--the last few times I looked at Big Lots and Dollar General, they were only 3%. NOt listed on the label, so I had to call the company to get the percentage.

Jan, you and I think alike. When I modded this in, that was the exact advice I was going to give this poster -- to be aware that some places sell 3% instead of 6%. You just beat me to it.

I found some $4 128oz liquid shock at Menard's here in Wichita, KS. It is 12.5% strength.
