Which isn't worth it since the same soil can be found on Amazon for $0.43625~ per qt in small bags or $0.2245 per qt if you purchase the big bags.

I personally buy the 2 cu ft bags which is about 60 qts for $13.47 which works out to $0.2245 per qt. I personally would rather pay slightly more to have it shipped to my house worth having to haul it myself. That's basically $1.347 per 6 qts, which is cheaper than the standard pricing @ walmart.

Well, the product in the amazon link you've shared is an indoor and outdoor mix. This one is indoor use only(with some gnat preventive additive I guess), and hence the smaller quantity makes sense from a storage stand point or so I feel since you don't need as much each time as outdoor. Here's the link to the product in amazon

To each their own, but everyone who gardens knows to just sprinkle a little cinnamon on the top of the soil and mold can't grow. It's also plant safe. Even the most popular reviews on the product you listed both on Walmart and Amazon all state they were infested with mold and gnats.... so yeah not true.

There are far better quality soils out there without the risk of being infested with spores and bugs. Literally every picture on Amazon of your product is pictures of giant mold spores and dead plants.

This will go on clearance as the weather gets colder. They will try to clear out pretty much all the soils and much by the beginning of the fall.

Given this is indoor soil, by your rationale the price should increase! Go go go!

To each their own, I totally agree. But whether the product performs as advertised for everyone is not something I can comment on. And I am no ambassador for this product, but of the 2 that I opened from the 8 I purchased yesterday I did not find any mold on them. (And we all know that where it is stored, how it is stored at the time of purchase matters regardless of what's inside of them). Ofcourse, there are better quality soils , no one's saying otherwise I guess. Also, for clarity and precision it is not "my product"

Doesn't matter indoor or outdoor Warmart sees this as a garden product, they normally use the garden space for Christmas items.

Anything you recommend? Not enough of an indoor plant enthusiast to dig into the reviews, but I'd like to avoid the gnats that emerged last time I repotted.
