Just thought that I would share this. I went to my local Walmart and found quarts of Nextgen 5w-20, 5w30 and 10w30 as well as Nextgen Maxlife 5w-20 in the clearance section - price of $4.00 a quart (ugh). Well, everything is negotiable so I walked over to the automotive counter and asked the manager if he would accept $1.50 a quart, considering that the oil had been sitting there for a while. After a few moments of chin scratching, the manager consented. I picked up all of the regular 5w-20 and 5w30; I wanted to get the maxlife and 10w30, but I had to consider issues of domestic tranquility (the stash is quite large). Anyhow, I probably could have pushed and gotten the stuff for a buck a quart, but I didn't want to try my luck. Total haul for today: 19 more quarts. Hooray.
SCORE! (Kinda...)

Well done! Negotiating at Wally's is not generally easy.
Never heard of negotiating at walmart!
Wow! Nice deal!
I've done it many times at Wally's. What (I'm told) it is dependent on is if the manager has "markdown money" from corporate. I've been shot down more than I have had success, but it never hurts to ask. I'm always more successful if I say I'll take all of it. I've especially been successful with tires.
Very well done!
Geez, I was in WW yesterday to get a jug of Mobil 1 0W-20 which goes for $24.95 and found that they stock it only in quarts for $6.97! Asked if I could get 5 for $24.95.......NO deal! Some WW do carry it in jugs, just none close to me.
