think i am done with oil from walmart

I used to buy from WM because it was the cheapest for Motorcraft oil and filter. However, my local WM stopped carrying the Motorcraft filters and raised oil prices so I have found that an Iowa-based fleet/farm store, Theisen's, carries Motorcraft oil and filters that are a tad cheaper than what WM does.
It's a regional thing I believe. It depends largely on how honest and hardworking a Walmart management is. Especially the automotive department. I have lived in 2 states (for extended period of time to shop for oil from WM) one is awesome in everything the other just sucks balls.
*Be careful with deliveries ! Besides porch thieves - you have to contend with delivery drivers who lay a 5 qrt. oil jug on it's side (the oil brand did not use a foil cover over the spout) and had it leak on my front porch. I'd rather buy online and pick up at the store for inspection .
I've been doing this for five years sometimes I go to the store for pickup if I plan on a trip down there. But the home deliveries I have yet to have a leaker. Knock on wood.
Out of the 5 or 6 walmarts around me, only 1 stays stocked the way it should be. Idk what the problem is with the rest of them.
It seems the smaller the store (smaller towns) the better the inventory. Nothing wrong with having it shipped to the store. Or from amazon ,if the price it right.

So. Is something supposed to be taboo or wrong with using Valvoline products? It is frustrating when WalMart shelves are empty. I have a WalMart / Oreilly's Auto / Auto Zone / NAPA / Advanced Auto Parts all within 2-5 mi of my house. I always hit WalMart first since they are closest and cheaper priced (not always but lots of the times. Once in a blue moon WalMart will be out of what I need. YET I can not recall the last time that happened.

why?
If you have a stash you never need it unless its on sale!
29.97 a box now.
As of today, multiple weights are still $22.97 via online purchase.
all synthetic Havoline boxes are 29.97 for me. Only blend is $20.
best value now seems to be ST 10,000 mile or QS full synth 5 qt jugs 22.97.
29.97 still a good deal on the boxes but not as good as 22.97.
ONLINE purchase, shipped free to your home if total purchase is $35 or more. It's not difficult.
ONLINE they are
I’ve found that my Autozone down the street always has whatever oil I need in stock and their monthly oil deal bundles aren’t too bad. They also take back my used oil and filters. You can still get a name brand synthetic and long life oil filter for $34, or their STP house synthetic bundle for $33.99 This month it looks like Pennzoil Syn and an STP 10k oil filter for $32.99. Walmart wants $24 for the same oil. When you add in the long life filter are you really saving THAT much? To me the $3-4 savings isn’t worth the hassle of making a special trip to Walmart for an oil change.
