    Somehow or other I got way down in inventory to only 3.5 gallons of bar oil on hand :whistle: I ordered another 4 gallons of County Line brand which will be ready for pickup next weekend. That’s enough for a while at the rate I run through it.

    I've seen them before and this was my issue. I would have bought them for $3 but they weren't selling for that at the time.

    Thought I was crazy when I bought the case (48) a few years ago. With the current price I'm glad I did. Gave some as a Secret Santa a year or two ago as well.

    went back to local TSC today to look for some county line juice, there was none, I inquired why there hasnt been any in a while and the cashier told me it has been hard to get, he said most weeks they only send him 2 or 3 jugs, but he did say he would price match me Husqvarna brand for the same price. so I got the 2 only jugs of rich folk bar oil for $8.99 a piece

    Great deal. I have a gallon of it. Super tacky stuff. I mix a little at a time with generic bar oils.

    Two flavors of County Line B&C at my local TSC. Regular is $14.99 and winter is $19.99. I was tempted to use a home brew of old orphaned quarts of motor oil along with some STP oil treatment and some trans stop leak. Mixed up nicely and seemed tacky but couldn't bring myself to pour it in the tank...LOL. I have a gallon of SuperTech from Wally world that I'm working through and I am not a fan. Stuff is like water.... Maybe I'll order some Harvest King like the winner from the Project Farm video. Even with shipping it's cheaper than the Husky, Stihl, or Echo stuff.

    Interesting since we are in the same region. Husky is 26.99 up here so more $ on both fronts. I always used the Husky stuff in the past but man is it thick when cold. Never tried their winter version but for more money, I'll pass.

    Same as the store in Farmington yesterday. I had to laugh. I did end up buying 4 gallons online @ $8.99 a couple weeks ago. Picked them up last Sunday, which proved to be a good investment.

    I have almost a gallon of the Husky and was told the same. I've mixed a little with the county line I normally use.
