    Glad everyone's stocking up.
    We did before the plague hit, just grabbed a couple at TSC every visit that summer, $6/G.
    If you have a Runnings near you, their prices are as good as RK.
    I was in OH this spring, found it for a good price @RK, better than CT. Got 2, then sent the wife back for a couple more.
    Not sure how much I have on hand, but its a couple years worth. Not sad we grabbed some while we could afford it, and it was cheaper.

    I had a TSC gift card. I got a gallon $14.99. Not a great value but the gift card softened the hit. I don't go through too much over the course of a year.

    This seems about normal for our neck of the woods.
    I haven't really been shopping lately but guessing this about average around here too.

    Not bar oil but, I thought I'd pick up a few and stock up. I've been hoarding more than just firewood lately.

    I'm still sitting on 4 gallons of bar oil which'll last me a while. What I'm running low on is 2 cycle oil though, and wow! Anybody got any leads on a reasonably-priced gallon of it? I've even used up all my old stock (15+ year old Yamalube and Golden Spectro from my dirt biking days) :picard:

    Menards has Poulan Pro bar oil for $7.58 a gallon. If you have rewards it’s 11% off of that. $6.74 is a hellofa deal.

    Clear that shelf asap! Probably never see prices that low again.

    It goes on sale at Menards like that semi-regularly. That’s where I usually buy it around me.

    I had a client require bio bar oil for for some riverside work (not all that uncommon here) I did a few weeks back. I was given a case of this IMG_3362.jpeg
    Since this is a family site I won’t mention what it looks like in the tank…:emb: IMG_3277.jpeg

    really gooder stuff otherwise though.

    God forbid a few small droplets of bar oil enter that river where old 2-stroke outboards are still legal to use. LOL People are weird.

    It’s mainly public services that care. Regular folks, even tree hugging dirty hippies, tend to not care or think about it really. But yeah people are weird sometimes.

    Yamalube was my go-to for years, no matter what I was running. Almost scored another gallon of it for free from a buddy a while back, but saw it was the marine oil meant for water cooled engines. Not gonna risk it.

    Then I seen some on an end cap by the automotive area...yup, bought another gallon!

    I picked up a gallon of RA , probably still be some in the jug when I take a dirt nap.
    Way cheaper by the gallon.

    Bar oil good here , a dozen or so sitting on the shelf.

    Currently no deals I have run across in my area.
