    The other day I found a gallon of TSC bar oil that got buried in the covered porch. I was like a kid at Christmas! Wonder how many more I have stashed around that I forgot about. :emb:

    Sitting on 10+ gallons of bar oil, TSC & Menards. Also have a bunch of Makita synthetic and picked up a 6 pack 2.5 gallon and 12 pack 5 gallon Red Armor mix to try.

    Last year i went through 5G of bar oil. Every time I went to TSC, I bought 1 for now, 2 for the shelf. At $7 or $8/G. Not sure what they thought when I weekly or multiple times a week took all I could carry by hand. I wiped them out more than once. I probably bought 20G last summer....

    A friend bought me a gallon jug of Husq 2 cycle oil. Add the bitty pint size 2 cycle I have handy, I'll never need to buy that stuff again!

    Blaines farm and fleet a week ago $5.99/gallon for bar oil. Best deal I can find around. Menards is a close second for price that I’ve found, but I’d way rather spend my money at blaines farm and fleet!

    I've been running mystik b&c oil the last couple of gallons I've bought. It works well. I'll need more, I know that.

    If I get back close to Rural King I may get 2 more for good measure. I need to pickup some grass seed anyway.

    Picked up 2 more gallons at 5.99. Should easily be good until the real president is back in and oil is cheap.

    I was at Lowe's today and checked out their bar oil. $11.99 gallon, but if you buy four it goes to $9 gallon. Maybe ill grab four as ill be back there tomorrow.

    Husqvarna was $25 gallon! :bug: :emptywallet:

    It’s crazy to see the difference in price from Stihl or husqvarna compared with mistiq and other brands! I used to use husqvarna when it was cheaper and I just cut enough firewood for my own heating each year. I could never justify using it now!
