Bought 2 years ago this month for 45 cents a jug.
45¢ a jug?? Tell us a story!
Wow! If I found a deal like that on the right oil, i would jump on it too lol. I would also just resell it and make some money too

Mine are all in different spots lol. So no together pictures lol. We have tons of oil filters too for vehicles we don’t even own. My only comment I will say is me and my dad believed and still believe that spin on filters will go away. We bought majority of them between the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. He was thinking we could sell them for $$$ but so far they haven’t appeared to go away lol. I probably have 50 oil filters maybe. And about 20 for vehicles we own or work on. Who knows what the rest fit lol.

Not sure it was a deal.... if memory is correct, it was a pricing error by Wal mart (or AMZN).
I don't have much of a stash and it's spread out in different places in the garage. I am waiting to hear how Atikovi snagged those jugs for .45 cents.
I'm not taking a picture, but I'll share my inventory:

Walmart had a clearance sale with free shipping. Some people here claim it was taking advantage of an error on Walmart's part, but if that was the case, they would have cancelled the order. I think it was to clear inventory to make room for new product, and being hazardous waste, they couldn't just throw it out. It would have cost more for them to dispose of it legally through a licensed hazardous waste facility then to sell it for what they did.

Quite sure Wal mart didn't know they had a pricing error.
You've got your own oil store right there. Choices!!
I'm guessing the folks that cry foul on deals like this are just the ones that missed out on them. My grocery store makes pricing errors, to the customers determent, most any time I shop there. So I'm not too concerned if a billion dollar company has an error the other way, not that I think they did.
I used to stash a decent amount of oil for the vehicles I regularly serviced. Then this forum I frequent started locking all the threads in their rebates section 
Last time I bought in bulk I picked up 24 quarts of Schaefer’s for $4/qt at a thrift store.

Nobody is crying foul. Just not buying the narrative for a single second that the .45 for four quarts of name brand common flavor motor oil was a "clearance". If one believes that- they are lying to themselves.
Or as Mike Ditka might say "who ya c********"
you cant start a thread like this without showing the goods OP.You know who you are. Let's see those proud stashes of fresh full jugs of virgin oil, those crates and boxes overflowing with oil filters. Proudly display your oil & filter acquisition disorder (OFAD) symptoms!
