Hey everyone, found a good deal at Walmart for bumper plates if anyone is looking: I already have a set of these (10#-45#) here at home, and I found Walmart currently several sets of various weights/color discounted less than $1 USD per pound. I picked up a set of 25# at 83 cents/#, and 35# at .84 cents/# (before tax) for myself, as those are the ones I seem to reach for the most often to swap out on to other machines. If you need a full set, there's a 370# set in the black with 10s all the way to 55s for $339.99, which is about .92 cents per pound before tax. Annoyingly, from the photos, it seems they reversed the colors since I last purchased; my 25# are yellow and my 35# are green. Not a huge deal, I will just have to pay attention, or mark them in some way to make the difference obvious from the sides. Check between the black and the full color sets to find the different discounts. I have had mine since 2022 and they have worked great for me. I know a chief complaint of them from other users was the off gas smell, but I did not personally have any issues with my set (I have the full color.) YMMV. Hope this helps someone!
