What is the going price on a can of JPW?

Post by reible »

I was in the local Wal-Mart tonight and happened to walk by the clearance isle where I spied a stack of JPW. I haven't shopped for a can in ages so I have no idea what I should expect to pay..... The scanner showed $5.

(Now my upnorth shopsmith can have its own can).

OK deal or not?

Clearance, our store has an isle of "stuff" they mark down and sell off, sometimes it is a few cents off, sometime $30-$40 off a larger ticket item. Problem is you don't always know if it marked down or not, no sign on this one so I may have even paid full price????

Bout the same in my local HD in East Texas, bought a can about two months ago. Must say it did take me forever to find it at first. Seems none of the local supermarkets or Wal-Mart's in my area carry it anymore.

Thanks for some price points. Looks like I didn't get ripped off but I didn't get a bargain either. Funny I've never seen it on the regular walmart shelves in the store so I have no idea they have it or had it.
