The last time I bought a gallon of mineral spirits (about 18 months ago,
I believe) it cost $2.50. That was very high I thought at the time.
Yesterday in Lowe's, I noticed the cheapest brand was selling for $8.00!
Is there any reason for this other than plain greed and price gouging?

Nest time you're in the store; price Kerosene. +35 bucks for 5 gal.

I was shocked to see that in the Lowes the other day. I was
afraid that the price had gone up to that universally, but was
pleasantly surprised to find that my regular supplier still
has it for 4.75 per gallon. Once again, the big box stores
are much more expensive than the real suppliers.
