Bar Oil Hoarding Thread

Name brand was over $20 a gallon! I think I saw Husqvarna at $27.

 

Used my first gallon of the Poulan Pro bar oil that Menards had on sale for $7 a gallon a year or so ago. Super tacky and dyed purple so you can see it super easy that your oiling. I’ll definitely be on the look out for when it is on sale again!!!

 

Hey....Menards....a Forever stamp costs $.82, making your 'rebate' good for exactly $0.33 per gallon.

 

And, after you send for and get the "check" by mail, you can only use it on in-store purchases. Menard's pricing is just a fraction short of being false advertising, in my opinion. But I do like the Poulan bar oil, although it no longer seems to be available locally.

 

I added a quart of 10-30 to a half full jug to buy me some time to find more, but tomorrow Ive gotta open my last jug, I bought 6 last year at TSC, thought I would be good for a while, but we had a couple good wind storms that blewdown more trees than Ive ever seen. I bet ive cut 40 cord so far and theres at least that much left. I would like to have it cleaned up this fall before snow falls.

 

$10.50 isn’t $6 or $7, but it sure ain’t $24… The performance for long bars to me is worth the regular cost…

 

If only I lived closer . Rural king, in store only

 

thats almost worth taking a 2 day road trip for!

 

Fixt…

 

I'm picturing an old time moonshine runner filled with bar and chain oil crossing state lines running at 110 mph...

 

Everybody seems to be in panic mode. Of the two TSC's I go to, both are sold out of B&C oil and will be until next weekend I'm tempted to just order 5 gallons now and pick it up when it comes in. I've got to see how much I actually have left first. It's been a while since I've looked and I have jugs stashed all over the place.

 

I've chased some of those 2.5 gal. sales at three of the Rural Kings that are in my occasional travel pattern, over the last couple of years. They never have any in stock, even when the computer says they do. It seems these screaming deals are advertised all across their site when they're only closing them out in one or two stores nationwide. Out of all the order-online-pickup-in-person stores I deal with, Rural King has the absolute worst inventory control I've ever experienced. I still shop there but if it's something I really need, I order online and let them lay hands on it before I make the 45-minute trip to the closest one.

 

$7.99 at Runnings, but they no ship.

 

The last time I was in the Wytheville store there was pallets of bar oil. I’ve never seen so much bar oil in one place. I can see where a 2.91 sale would clear them out though. Might be time for a popcorn road trip.
