I have used all of the Scotts (Color Enhanced is Lowes, Earthgro is Home Depot) as well as the Lowes referenced above and had good results with all. I got the Color Enhanced last year and the variance between bags was noticeable (i.e, pine bark vs hardwood hammered). In my experience its all a crap shoot. I have never had issues with mold in any of the varieties. All of that said, last year Lowes did the Scotts 5 for 10 the same time they did this. Home Depot will normally run their Scotts 4 for 10 around this time also.
I've worked at Lowes Twice. The $2 sale was 3-5 times a year, Spring and Fall 'Black Friday', Memorial, July 4th and Labour Days. The first sale I would tell be to not buy because it was left over sitting in the snow for several months. New batches would come in for summer sales. Now the sales almost never take place. Also 8 years ago when I worked there a single bag cost $2.26 so Lowes would lose a ton of money.
i am changing over to stone mulch ...it lasts longer
This is the way. It astounds me that people spend time, effort, and money every year for stuff that looks like shit a month later. Lay stone once and your done forever and it looks infinitely better.
Does it matter if the content are small rectangle chips or long wood splinters?
Few years back, I had rectangle chips that looks much better, then after covid, it's all long splinters, narrow and long.
I prefer the chips but does it matter?
But the alternative is multiple trips as my vehicle can only handle like 20 bags at a time.
I'm guessing I want ~50 bags
Is there any "taskrabbit" type delivery service for Lowes that would undercut their $79 charge?
Or is best solution to go in with the neighbors to split shipping cost
Never again. We put down a ton of that stuff 6 or 7 years ago and it looked amazing until after a year of our irrigation watering the flower beds twice a day. It all lost its color so fast and took forever to pick out. What a mess that was.
My wife put rubber mulch around a persimmon that I transplanted, and it started dying almost immediately. Removed the rubber mulch, and it recovered. That's toxic stuff.
I'm not advertising any deal bro, as $4 is not a deal for Scotts anyway, fairly clear from my post. I am simply asking a question and providing a reference point for comparison purposes that others who responded seemed to have had no problem comprehending as i intended it.

However, as the OP acknowledges quality can vary. Some batches could even be moldy..
