Coleman 1 lb propane cans for $5.37 for double pack at Walmart

I went to a local Walmart yesterday, and noticed they had Coleman 1 lb propane cans for $5.37.  At first I thought to myself this is rather expensive, but then I noticed closer the price is for a DOUBLE pack  This makes the cost at approx $2.69 per can.  I stocked up on this yesterday!  Cheapest price I've seen anywhere is from Walmart for this item.  Even when they don't have double packs, the cost of a single cannister is still lower than anywhere else I've noticed.

not bad, but still much cheaper to get an adapter hose for $10 and a 20# tank for $20. I always keep a green 1 pounder around for emergencys, but bulk is by far the cheapest way to go. A fulltimer i know ran his 2 burner stove 2-3 times a day for 9 weeks off a 20# tank.

I bought a couple cans this week at Acadamy Sporting Goods in Rogers. Arkansas for $2.29 each.  Then when I went across the street to Walmart they had it for $2.49 I think.  Tractor Supply used to carry an adaptor to refill the 1# cans from a larger bulk bottle.  The adaptor was around $24.00 but I can't seem to find it anymore. I have #20 lb. tanks with a hose and filter for my small Mr. Heater.

I have a refill kit, from harbor freight, but have never used it. &nbsp;Apparently the valves don't always seal properly after refilling. &nbsp;I don't have a larger tank to refill from. &nbsp;I'd like to get a 3 gallon tank that I could mount underneath but the horizontal mounting &nbsp;tanks are $$$<br /><br />I usually pick up Worthington brand at home depot but they are now ~$3.29 each. &nbsp;What I like is the metal bases. &nbsp;They use to carry another brands that was blue and called a big boy, they shoehorned in a little more(20% claimed) propane into those. &nbsp;The coleman and ozark trail at wally world and target have the plastic bottom glued on. &nbsp;Sometimes these are not filled as much as advertised. &nbsp;I've picked up two and one was noticeably lighter than the other, and now I always check and shake them to determine if they are light or not.<br /><br />My single burner stove always pulls the plastic bases off, and I have gotten in the habit of running a layer of electrical tape where plastic meets metal rather than have it spill my breakfast and ruin my day. &nbsp;Once was enough.
