The GREAT OIL SCORES that I once had, haven't been around for me lately. I know, I know, BOO-HOO for me!
I mean, I haven't been doing too bad on price once I do find a decent score but, it's been more along the line of $2+/qt. or $10-$11/5qt jug.
I've been missing out when members post those great Walmart deals(online) or even when I check the W*M site myself. When I look for them at the oils @walmart.com, they're at the normal price. Or the real deal is on an oil grade that I'm not looking for nor need.
Lately, I've been eye-balling this particular(AAP) CarQuest 0W20 & 5W20 full synthetic($6.45/qt) that has been on their discount/closeout shelf for way too many months. I've periodically asked the clerk to scan the price just to see if it comes up at a lower price or if they could reduce the price. NOPE!
This time, I went into said AAP(all other AAPs have been sold out) and asked the Mgr privately(away from other customers) if she could knock down the price and I'll take the whole shelf(all 21 qts.). We had to do some back & forth negotiation til finally she came down to $1.99/qt. and I agreed.
7 qts 0W20/14 qts 5W20 with a mix of API SN+ and SP so, they're all recent oils.
How has your luck been lately?
