    Wuz at wally wurld lookin fer something I found out was not carried there at all. Jest fer yuks and giggles headed to the automotive dept and have a look see to determine whether or not I needed anything there! I did Not! BUT as I wuz checking the shelves I saw Winter windhield wash fluid fer$1.00!  Shocked And I checked with a Walmart associate and he checked and said YES $1.00 a gal IS correct. So I bought 10 gals. Thinkin the last ones I purchased were closer to $4.00 than they were $3.00! And I've NEVER run the summer mix windshield washer fluid. So as a suggestion keep the ol peepers workin and perusing Where ever you shop!  cooldude RIDE SAFE.

I was wondering when they came out with summer and winter washer?  And why? Just to double their sales ?

The summer stuff might freeze and wreck stuff if left in in the winter...
I don't know why you'd ever run the summer stuff unless you don't
have winter...

Radio Shack sold color and black-n-white TV tuner shower. If I remember right the color Tuner shower was more expensive.

I find that the summer blend cleans bug guts better than the winter blend stuff. I guess they can have more cleaning agent if they leave out the anti-freeze. A gallon is a gallon, so...

windshield washer fluid -20 to -30 is readily available around me on sale 2.49 gallon jug.  1 buck is unheard of so you saved 1.50 each x 10 is 15 bucks saved.  Now go to the local restaurant and spend that  15 bucks.  every penny saved counts nowadays.

If you all are looking for a real bargain on washer fluid, order these tablets from 303 Products (well known company; not some fly-by-night Chinese Amazon seller).  https://www.amazon.com/303-Instant-Windshield-Washer-Tablets/dp/B000FF76KM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=E8YO86XNO4HQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.u-rZnVFW7Kz0NXwQRPX4Q8AddEq4FEMhHadT31nwVN79urt546yGhPcZhnfvhpev6yHbkPiLMOqdYJ-9qHz364Ssluh2IvqI1UDeWrLnfjM1nSLXzahx7Z-sCaFRsxU64l10VZpcCrqOE0bceaEU0QX5WsiqYrXEAwJ5FZEby-vaIWgd0tWWSzMhI2wmUss9YpyQIHz4jUrMk1WEb8tDwvZc0VOAKzRH28eIAwIgRS3HUsNlNUtkzyWEGrKn6TEhUf0iI47niuUlReBCOKhHcfhLszS1RiUbp2aoLca28Jg.eWDxv60bQ7ahD5yaW14XdNeFr6iP2cs362pwE63eu1I&dib_tag=se&keywords=303%2Binstant%2Bwindshield%2Bwasher%2Btablets&qid=1746321068&sprefix=303%2Binstant%2Caps%2C842&sr=8-1&th=1

Save a gallon water or milk jug, and make a gallon of washer fluid (that works!!) with one tablet. This is NOT antifreeze, so I just make sure it's out by the end of September or so, and filled with the winter stuff. Less than 1 dollar per gallon, and takes up next to no room in your garage/shed/pantry. I bought a pack in 2019, and I'm half through it. I hope I outlive them. LOL
