Pleasant Oil Purchase Surprise

[Shel_B]

I usually buy my oil at Walmart, but today, since I wanted to pick up a quart directly, I placed an order for a quart of 0W-30 ESP at the local O'Reilly's. Didn't care if it would be a buck or two more than Wally's. Surprise surprise, it was $3.00 cheaper and the store is much closer than Wmart to pick up.

Almost every day I drive past the store, which is only 1.5 miles from my door, so quite convenient. Too bad my regular oil choice is substantially more $$$ than Wmart ... just got an email saying that to order is ready for pickup ... 9 minutes from the time I placed the order.

I had a miserable day looking for a new refrigerator yesterday, so this little victory is quite welcome.

Score!

Nice score. Why were you looking for the esp?

Nice find. It pays to call around, I suppose! I'll have to remember this.

Nice score. Why were you looking for the esp?

To supplement some 0W-20 I have as remainder stock and bring up the HT/HS a bit.

That is shocking. I don't think I've ever seen the same item for less at O'Reilly's compared to Walmart. Except for the time they had a two for one deal on Techron.

Retailers can surprise you in a good way.
