refill their own or go to one of these swap your tank bins at 7/Eleven or
Circle K type stores ?

Thanks, Tim



Convenience stores
Garden centers
BBQ specialty stores
Supermarkets
Gas stations

Let's spin the wheel of fortune and see if we can price shop all of them,
just for you, without having any idea where you live, or what steps you've
taken to research this locally.

I refill my own. Most of the supermarkets where I live have locked bins
outside of their stores where you can exchange. I don't know how much it
costs to exchange an empty one for a full one, but they're easy to have
refilled.

You actually attach a hose to your empty tank and pump more propane into it?

Around here the cheapest thing to do is find one someone has put out for the
trash because it is an old style that can't be refilled. Take that to HD or
Lowes and they will give you a new one for a couple dollars. Then BJ's is
half the price for a fillup as anywhere else.

I have about 5 or 6 tanks running 2 grills and a refrigerator. Now I only
pick up the ones in the street if they are full, which they often are.

Might not be the same where you are.

The places that swap tanks are generally the most expensive. I pay $10 for
a refill at BJ's here in New England. Any store that sells grills will sell
the tanks.

Cheapest way is to take it to where they have a big PROPANE tank, and sell
it by the gallon. Lots of gas stations have these.

Next, and more expensive are places where you exchange the tank.

All depends on convenience. I have eight, and (for me) it's worth it to run
to the gas station where they sell it cheapest.

Advantage of getting them filled yourself is cost.
Advntage of exchanging is you always have a tank. Tanks expire and need
replacing or inspection. Personally I think I save more getting it filled
for 10 years which will pay for a new one when the time comes.

Home Depot or Lowes sell new empty tanks.Probably Sams,Costco and BJ's,too.
refills are cheaper than tank exchange.

I picked up old tanks with obsolete valves from garbage etc, turned
then in at home depot as exchanges for the new valve type, take those
tanks to local gas station for cheap refills, and when the tanks look
bad, and begin to rust exchange them at home depot.for nicely refresed
tanks. That way the tanks cost me ZIP, and the refills are usually
cheap:)

I have about 8 tanks so I never run out, keep them in shed with door
always ajar for safety........

Cheapest refills are local gas station with BIG tank, cheapest
exchange home depot, pricest exchange the local convenience store,
guess thats to be expected.

one advantage to exchanging tanks is they DONT smell like propane.
cost perhaps 5 bucks more

No, the guy at the propane dealer does it. You walk out with the same tank
you walked in with, as opposed to the somewhat-more-expensive tank swap
stations at the quicky marts.

I used to have that done at a winnebago lot, and repair place. I
didn't want to lose my matching CharmGlo tank. They even refilled it
twice after the date said NO. I even painted the thing so they
wouldn't notice how old it was. But they weren't fooled, and I ended
up going to the supermarket or HD and it is about 15 or 17 dollars for
an exchange.

I saw some tanks at a junkyard, one which has a lot of autos, but a
lot of non-auto stuff too.

He asked me why I was buying one, and I told him the truth. He smiled
and sold it to me for whatever he said before, 5 dollars?

It was almost 5 pm and I went straight to the HD, and who do I see

Why not just get it filled for 9 1/2 years and exchange it the last
time?

I have picked up several tanks out of the trash over the years, and
bought one that looked brand new at a garage sale for $1.00. All were
empty though. I refill them off my house tank, though they only get
about 1/2 full before the pressure equalizes. (The house tank has a
valve on it with a dip tube for liquid.) Besides the places like HD,
Lowes and some hardware stores that have the exchange system, and
regular propane dealers that refill tanks, around here some UHaul stores
refill the small tanks also. Larry

Hmmm,
Tank has to be recertified every 10 years here. And should never be
overfilled. You don't have such a law where you live? No one will refill
the expired tank. Date code is stamped on the tank valve guard. I hope
you are not compromising your safety issue.

It's more convenient to exchange tanks if you don't live near a propane
yard. It may be a lot faster too.
Where I live in/ /in NY, there is a company called "Rhino" that has
propane tank exchanges outside of almost all stores in the suburbs. I've
seen them in front of supermarkets, convenience stores, beer stores, gas
stations, the big box stores, one or more stores in strip malls, and
just about in front of every other place except maybe clothing stores,
but that may change soon.
I don't know how big an area Rhino serves.

I used to take my tank to the local construction equipment rental
place for refill, but when we replaced our grill /sans/ tank, I opted
to go the swap-it-at-the-store route for convenience's sake. It was
cheaper at the outset than buying a cylinder to have filled.

What makes it really convenient at this point is that places like Home
Depot are doing the do-it-yourself swap-out where you use a computer
terminal to make your swap and the appropriate cage door opens for you
to take out a fresh cylinder and put in the empty - 24 hours a day. So
when I run out at 10:00 at night in the middle of playing cards, I can
get a fresh tank without having to deal with the surly gas station
attendant down the street.

Around here (Phoenix AZ area) they apparently are not allowed to
dispense propane after sundown. At least, that is what I was told a
couple of years ago when I was trying to get a tank refilled that ran
out in the middle of a grilling session. I have no idea why not. Or
maybe the guy at the gas station was just feeling lazy that night.

That is why you have a spare. No running to the store at 10:00 PM. Everyone
has different priorities. I'd rather save the $5 to $10 per tank and have
my tank re-filled.

What a silly question. Here, the biggest c-store chain is owned by a
supermarket, so their milk is as cheap as at the parent company's
supermarkets. Two hours away, the convenience stores are NOT like that, so
the milk's more expensive. There's no way for anyone in this newsgroup to
know what the situation is where you live.

Solution: Save the receipt from your next trip to the big supermarket.

Apartment projects on the weekend closest to end of month. Abandoned grills
with tanks are routinely left next to the dumpsters by people moving out.

Probably an insurance company or oil company anti-robbery rule- no walking
out the door after dark. Was the clerk behind plastic? He isn't gonna give
you the key to the tank cage, and you aren't allowed to take the 'empty'
tank inside for him to inspect.

no idea in which boxes the cans were so I lied. It was May. Nothing

Cheapest refills are local gas station with BIG tank, cheapest
exchange home depot, pricest exchange the local convenience store,
guess thats to be expected.


Someone told me that milk is usually cheap at a convenience store, to
get people to come in. I can never remember the supermarket price to
check, so do any of you know if that milk is cheap or not?


Milk is usually $2 at the convenience store near me. Grocery store
is typically $3.50.


Wow. So my friend's statement isn't ridiculous. Since she lives in
the same city I do, it's probably true here too, even if the price
diff isn't as much.

Thanks.
