$cored some cheap Anti-freeze!

Wally World has 2 1/2 gallon RV antifreeze for $5. It's $2.58 for a gallon so this one is like a tiny discount plus a half gallon free!

Here in WI I hit Menard's and scored RV antifreeze for $2.25 with an 11% rebate. I bought enough for this year, next year, and the next. I also have to use it in my pressure washer and weed sprayers. I go through about 5 gallons per year.

Home depot in New Brunswick Canada last year had the similar size container for 9.97 plus 15% sales tax
2 in a box with the same individual label. self serve checkout swipe on the box for 2 containers... $11.50

I used 1/3 of a jug last year and 1/3 of a jug this year.

If there is a Tractor Supply in your area you may want to check there. I got some for $1.78/gallon a couple of weeks ago.

Nice, you can make Margaritas out of the left over. You're not going to lecture us on why alcohol is bad?

If you drink enough you could pass out and fall in the fire pit.

Aside from it's potential to damage water system parts like pump valves and filter housings, it's probably not bad.

As for using it for Margarita's I prefer mine to taste like Tequila, not RV Anti-Freeze.

Got you all beat on Quantity!

Two weeks ago we purchased, from Home Depot, forty (9 litre) 9 1/2 us quart bottles of the pink stuff. We have 2 cases (4 bottles) left now after winterizing most of the resort. We go through that amount every fall.



And I still have to do our TT.
