My local Lowes( zip code 46250) has various Round up extended control products on clearance
I bought several varieties, ...concentrate, premixed refill and one with the battery powered sprayer

Alternative is RM43 from Amazon/HomeDepot. It's a concentrate so you mix in water. Get the red jug one, which is supposed to kill and prevent weeds for up to a year (works more like 6 months for me).
Edit: damn, the price of RM43 spiked up like crazy. I had gotten 2.5 Gallon for $100 pre-covid. cost wise, you're probably better off getting the Round Up from Lowes

Used to buy 1 gal glyphosate in 2019 for $25-30, but it's popularity now makes it $130
On a side note, it's almost forever chemical. I decided to use mechanical way to remove weeds. Not great but...
Get your facts straight, chemically it is certainly not a forever chemical. It is a weak acid or salt that breaks down easily. There is a lot of garbage info out there saying it is a pesticide as well, but it is a herbicide. The problem is spraying it too close to harvest time.
he half-life determined in a range of regulatory soil studies in the laboratory, the half-life or DT50 range 1.0–67.7 days (EFSA, 2015). In field studies conducted in North America and in Europe where the influence of climatic conditions as well as soil type can be assessed, the mean half-life for glyphosate degradation was 30 days, with a range from 5.7–40.9 days. In most conditions, over 90% of the applied amount of glyphosate dissipated within six months under aerobic conditions
The acid from the vinegar, and the salt poisons the soil, so only good for areas you don't want to grow anything in.
This one says weed and grass killer too. If you want to kill the grass sounds like they want to poison the soil. However how could it be worse than the synthetic chemical? I get that round up lets you replant after x number of days/weeks but that doesn't mean it disappears, it probably keeps going deeper into the ground eventually your drinking water supply? No?

It degrades at a relatively rapid rate in most soils, with half-life estimated between 7 and 60 days [12]. Many studies have indicated that the presence of glyphosate in the soil can enhance microbial activity [32,33], while some studies have also shown the toxic effects of glyphosate on soil microorganisms [34].Nov 13, 2019
Scott's Miracle-Gro which owned the Round-up brand name distribution rights but is no longer producing any of its products with glysophate. These are leftovers from last season and do contain glysophate that's why they are closing them out. Home Depot is doing the same. I bought several RTU (Ready To Use) 1.33 gallons and 64-ounce concentrates for $2-$3 bucks a bottle at Home Depot over the past couple of weeks. Check Home Depot's also if you're looking for these, definitely YMMV this late into the season but the last ones i got were the 64 oz concentrate for less than $2 which was $33.

You pull each weed out manually?
