If you have a diesel motorhome built after 2008, then you know about Diesel Exhaust Fluid.
While most Truck stops now have DEF at the pump, you usually don't need it at the same time as diesel, you have to pull up, and in my case the motorhome fills on right and the pumps put it on the left.
About once a month I send my Shop Rat to Pilot with three 5 gal gas cans to fill up with DEF at $2.15 gal, and I top off the tank before I leave on a trip.
But I also carry three cartons of Blue DEF with me for the trip back. The truck stops sell it for $20-$35 a carton, but Walmart sells for $11. Better yet they ship free on orders of $50 or more, so I order six cartons shipped to my shop. They have to lose money doing that because of the weight, but that's business. I also about twice a year have Walmart ship me six gallons of windshield washer at like $1.10 gallon.

I do all of my shopping online late at night, and seldom walk into a store for anything. If I don't get 500 boxes a year from Amazon Prime, I don't feel like I did my job. Amazon, Summit, Pennys, Walmart, Best Buy....
