Anyone notice the price of bleach lately?

Actually, I did. It was several weeks ago at a '99 cent' store. I think cleaning products with bleach uncovids your surroundings. I don't remember being able to get this stuff last spring.
 
I bought bleach about a month ago. It was $3.98 for a gallon at our neighborhood supermarket. I'm sure I could have gotten it cheaper at Dollar Tree but I don't drive and I needed it right away.

I was ecstatic when that supermarket opened Pepper. They really do have good prices, some rivaling Walmart. I couldn't find a gallon last time I went to Walmart. I think I paid $2.89 for a half gallon a few months ago. @Jeweltea

Being from Joisey, you know Walmart is banned from doing business in the five boroughs of NYC.
 
What does bleach do that can't be done with safer products? I don't understand how I've gotten along all these years without it.
 
Ah yes..... the pandemic mark-up........ watch as there may be a larger demand the increased price most likely will not go away on anything disinfectant related ......... after the demand subsides......... even with so many jumping on the bandwagon hoping to cash in on fear and panic buying.

I buy mine at the Dollar Tree.

A 96-ounce of Awesome Bleach for a dollar but the supply has been spotty since March so I try to keep an extra jug on hand.

That's where I used to get mine before March but with the Pandemic I haven't been there. That is why it really hurt to pay over $5.

I bought the same but I don't think it's actually a full strength bleach after opening it and taking a smell. I got a gallon at Aldi for under $3 and it has the strong bleach smell.

I believe that you are correct. I think that my $tore bleach is a 3% solution of sodium hypochlorite and most name brands are 5.25% - 6%.

It might not be the best choice for an active family but it seems to work fine for me.

Same! The bleach I bought at our Dollar Store didn't even leave white marks when I splashed some on my clothes, and it didn't dissolve the mildew I was trying to get out of the bathmat I soaked in it. I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff's 90% water.

For sure ... at the height of the Pandemic in the spring, sellers were charging their HUGE prices for a small bottle.. anything up to £200...per 1/2 litre

We were fortunate lucky we got a litre of 80% proof of it for around the normal price , but most people couldn't source it, or had to pay huge mark ups
 
In Walmart (Canada) today, their brand bleach was on special for $6 for 3 gallons. $2.98 for one. I don’t need any so didn’t bother.
