What a deal I found yesterday. Looking for more dieselkleen and 6 5qt jugs of oil at $17.83 a jug. Autozone stopped selling it and the left overs were over $25. I am 300 miles away from an oil change and found plenty of oil cheaper than dirt. A Ford oil filter was only $9.97 as well. Deals are always a smile maker.

If I can get the local wallyworlds to keep it in stock I will also go to the Delo. So far I cannot get enough to do an oil change with 3 different stores. BUT the red jug is always in stock. Gotta keep an eye out as the local stores charge an average of $14 qt for cheap oil and closer to $16 qt for spec oils. It is always a drive off the mountain for oil changes so I keep an eye out whenever I am nearby. I should have enough for 2 changes now so I can look for the Delo more relaxed.

Like Chuckster said location location location. Everything here is expensive for the tourists. The local businesses rape and rob the guests and wonder why money is so tight. Even NAPA here has different pricing as the one at the bottom of the hill. SO\ometimes as much as 30% higher.
I sell snow chains and am the lowest price. I am so low the vendow keeps asking how I stay in business. What I sell for $35 others sell the same brand and size for as much as $150. I make the best of every trip off the mountain. Diesel fuel is $4.59 here and 35 miles down it is $4.09. Go figure.
If I could live in central or northern California again I would but I have too much here now. Selling and buying for the hunting and laid back life just can't fit my retirement yet. I just keep looking for the best deals, shop mostly online, and never settle for " really this is the lowest price."

I got lucky at work (Costco) we sell the Delo in a 3 gallon box for $37 but we just had a instant rebate that made it $30 a box, so that's $10 a gallon so I stocked up
And my local Advance Auto has Ford filters for just under $10
