I thought it was supposed to be "Texas Tea"? Or "Black Gold"? Or "bubblin' crude"?

Thats where I buy all my clothes (Family Dollar).
Type A is just fine, for my 1962 Buick. Not good for much else though...
Saw some G Oil at a thrift store, 5w30. Just one and the bottle had a hole at the neck. There is, however, 10 or so quarts of G Oil Bar and chain there.
A lot of very poor quality oil and much of it gets poured into beaters that get 100 miles per quart, so the driver doesn't much care, but is still overpaying for the oil.

I scored some Eagle One Wax As U Dry for a dollar a pop one time. I bought all the had.
my DG stocks PYB and GTX in almost every weight. GTX went on sale for 3$ a qt a while back so i snagged 5 qts when i went in there to buy some junk food. 15$ for 5 qts was just as cheap as walmart, and i had a stash of filters at home so i proceeded to do a dollar store oil change on the old pontiac montana van.
i dont see oil in dollar stores here
forgot to mention i came across a Hot Wheel for .99 that was from 1991 I bought it
the one time i saw mag 1 oil for a 1.25 at a local dollar store i should of bought it.

You'll sometimes find some real deals on stuff you'd actually use.
I took a peak at oil section in a grocery store, PYB was $8.xx/qt. The same PYB was $6.xx/qt at hardware store.

Right now you can buy PU for $21 at Walmart and receive $25 from Pennzoil as a rebate.
You'll still have profit after tax and postage.
How do you receive $25 from Pennzoil, when the rebate is for $10??

I wait till they run it on sale, but then I use the $5 coupon they publish almost every Saturday. You can end up with PYB or Castrol for just over 2 bucks a quart!
They don't run oil on sale very often, but when they do I try to take advantage of it.

I never saw unapproved oil at Big Lots. I remember getting great prices on Havoline synthetic one time, and synthetic Quaker State another time.
In Family Dollar, I find oils that don't meet any current standards, and low prices on oils that do meet current specs.

Ya have to be carefull when buying oil at any Dollar Store/All for a Dollar/Dollar General.
Sure, they sometimes carry major brand oil like QS but, the oil that you never heard of, stay away from it! It may be OK but, why risk it when most AAP/AZ/PB's are not far from any $tore and often have a sale on the good stuff w/filter.
My Dollar General has QSGB for more money than the AAP across the street. And other care care products also cost a bit more than the AZ in the same parking lot.
Be carefull!

Check for closeouts at grocery stores. I found Quaker State for 1.99 a quart at a grocery store.
