Default Trying to keep this thread alive......

Well, spent the day driving around. In the process, stopped at three Walmarts. The first one had rocket motors shelf priced at $4.97 but scanned at $3. Huge selection, mostly old stock, but I just couldn't get myself to pay that much for them.

The second Walmart was just an after thought stop. Had C6-3s, 5s and 7s. 21 packages total. Shelf price was a whopping $6.97. Man, I thought, the era of cheap motors was over for the year. I went ahead and scanned them anyway. What a surprise. The C6-3s scanned at 98 cents and the rest scanned at a dollar. Needless to say, I left the store with 21 motors and one of the new style double stacked display boxes. They didn't need it anymore anyway....

The third Walmart was one I had passed earlier in the day since my granddaughter was serenely sleeping when we drove by. A quick check found only two packs of C6-3s but they scanned at a dollar each so I figured there was no sense leaving them on the shelf.

Never did see any of the new "Sustainables". I guess I'll check some of the local places tomorrow. Nothing better to do when the rain is pouring down. Sure am glad I spent Thursday and Friday patching my roof......
