Whoa, I was packing my bags to go on a guilt trip, until you spoke what others were afraid to speak.
I figure buy for a reason. When you have to do something because you ran out of chemical X, know what you can buy from nearby.
Better than you have to drive 30 plus miles to get more chemical.
If you know the Oxy is a good booster and a lot cheaper then paying triple or more for (insert brand name), then do it.
I doubt Mike, sOOper hERo, or others here would substitute an inferior product to save a little money.
I think it's a good idea to know what you're using, and the reason you're using it.
Keep posting this money saving wisdom. I'll happily pay for good chemicals and save money not buying ones I don't need.
Good post sOOper hERo.
