In Maryland, Weis Markets has the Austin's Pool Tech shock, 12.5%, for $5.49/gallon. About 20 cents/gallon cheaper than a gallon of 10% at the Walmart in the same town. I added some to my pool and checked the results, and they were exactly as expected.
ocean state job lot, 12% liquid shock , think it is 5.99 a gallon or 4 gallon case for 23.99
Liquid Pool Shock, 1 Gal
their liquid stabilizer is only 27.99 too compared to like 64 a gallon at the pool stores by me

Same price here in central TX. I thought Lowe's was good at $7.98 a gal, then I found Wally World had it for less!!
In the Midwest, on sale at Blains Farm & Fleet. $3.83/gal of 12.5% Normal price is $4.50/gallon of 12.5%
My hometown Rural King dropped their 10% down to 14.99 per case (4). Best deal so far, but I am not sure of the quality.
I don't know what the price was but Home Depot had their chlorine on an end cap shelf in direct sunlight on a 90F degree day.

My go to local pool place (smith pools in Southaven ms) is still $9.99 for a 2.5 gal refill. ($4/gal) same as last year.
They do unfortunately keep the yellow jugs in crates infront of the store but they have now started posting the fill date on them so I pick what has only been sitting a day or so. Some of the jugs are less yellow than others & more see thru so I try to get the yellowist? ones.

Walmart is delivering to my house again. I just had 12 gallons delivered for free.
in southwest ohio, the best deal seems to be at Menards. 12.5 pc net 4.55 per gal after rebate and usually fresh. on 6/14 date codes ranged from 145 to 160 and they store it inside. before finding TFP i would never have thought about date codes or if it was stored outside (like i have seen at various pool stores).
In the Tri-State Area (CT, NY, NJ) Ocean State Job Lot is a great place for all your pool chem needs.
12.5% gallon jugs are about $5.94, and they sell 4-pack boxes (no real discount though).

Just watch the dates at Ocean State Job Lot. for the longest time, the freshest I could get was the end of January 2024. Finally, last week I got some that had a date of 130 2024
The stuff I bought recently had a good date on it, forget exactly what it was but I checked in here on TFP on another thread and it was determined it was good to go. But always good to keep in mind!
Simple math works plenty good enough while in the aisle. 30 days is a full month plus the leftovers. So 156 is 5 full months, plus 6 days, or June 6th. It'll miss a few days here and there if we had more 31 day months so far, but a couple of days don't matter.
My local Walmarts are all out of stock of the Pool Essentials. This is a bad development. Stuck with Pinch a Penny I guess.
Actually PaP is great with the 2.5gal jug. I find it cheaper than the individual gallon jugs.
My Walmart stores are out of the Pool Essentials, but I was able to get some from Lowe's at $2 per gallon.
Miracle Chemical in Farmingdale, NJ is my go-to. $5.49/gallon of 12.5% chlorine, sold in 5 gallon carboys. There's a deposit on the carboys (I believe $15 each as of a few years ago). There's also a 10% cash discount and 10% Fire, EMS, Police discount. They also sell salt, 50-pound bags of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate, and 1 and 5-gallon containers of muriatic acid.
