Default Roundup - buy the generic

Roundup is very expensive, but the only active ingredient that really
works. I purchased a LARGE jug of the "generic" product
at Tractor Supply yesterday for ~ $70 or so, the Roundup
brand was just ~ two times the price! Check the active
ingredient percent. All you have to do is calculate the
cost per "mixed gallon ready to use" to see the savings. Before
the generic product was available, I purchased the Roundup
"brush" product & diluted it for broadleaf & grass - saved a LOT
that way. However, the active ingredient is the SAME, so you save
~ 100% :-)



They don't carry any of the Generics at Home Depot or Lowes, just
the name brands. And I didn't need $70 worth of weed killer so I
settled for the $20 name-brand concentrate.

Wal-Mart has the off-brand available in smaller quantities.
