I went to El Mercado de Wal to get a battery for my tractor today and
figured I'd pick up a coupla jugs of antifreeze. Saw the blue stuff for
Euro cars was on clearance for $9.50 which was lower than any of the
other stuff they had, and was $16.63 regular price. There are some blue
versions for Asian and Merkun cars too but this one was on clearance. I
grabbed the 4 jugs on the shelf, said it was for 2014 and earlier Benzes.
Go to the (self) checkout and the jugs rang up normal price so I called
the attendant woman over and she adjusted the price for me, no questions
no checking, so I appreciated that. It got me thinking I could have
said anything, I don't think she really cared one way or the other. The
lack of oversight there I could have walked out with the whole load had
I been inclined to do so, which is probably not very uncommon. It
wasn't very busy there either which was kinda unusual, I hit Costco too
and it was mobbed for some reason on a early Tuesday afternoon.
There is no full strength AF on the shelves any more, you have to buy
the 50/50 stuff which I guess is more convenient but I kinda like to
roll my own. Oh well, progress and an accommodation to the dumbing down
of the populace.
Anyway, it was a good deal. Costco had M1 oil on sale too but it was
still quite a bit more than the Costco flavor.
