The last two that you post are for quart sizes, should be around 8-9 dollars. I buy them at True value. Galleon size runs around $27. (22.99 is a good price.) Check out The Rust Store. Don't forget that shipping adds to your cost.
But Auto Zone is $8.99 /quart. 4 quarts to a galleon makes it $35.96 per galleon, which I think makes it more than that $27.99 at HF or $22.99 at O'reilly. (Is it really in store at $22.99 or do you have to order it and pay $10 shipping. I bet you do.) I'll admit its hard to tell from the info provided which are quarts, but I've been to auto-zone and for sure they sell it only by the quart. Also you can tell by the handle shapes which are quarts and which are galleons. I used to be able to buy galleons in my town at $27.99 from True Value, but now I can only get quarts. I bet $27.99 at HF is your best deal, particularly with %20 off HF coupon. Unless you want a huge quantity I don't think ordering it from even the rust store or Amazon works out to be a good deal.
I know this reply is a bit late… But HF currently has it on sale for $24.99 (normally $25.99) and with a 20% off coupon, you can get it for $19.99 a gallon… or $20.79 at the regular non-sale price. Alternatively, if you have a Tractor Supply near by, it's $21.99 a gallon.
I'm sitting here thinking who cares. The price difference is minimal. Until…I put it into perspective. The cost difference may be a gallon of milk for the kids. Sort of humbles you.
Here's another thought…poor people that smoke. A pack could buy a loaf of bread and gallon of milk. Do you smoke?

Yup… and if cost really is a concern, the cheapest method would be to get a $4 box of washing soda (which is enough to last a very, very long time!) and just do electrolysis
I've purchased at Tractor Supply and Lowes (when they had it on clearance for $3/qt)
Another option is to use citric acid, which is what I've gone to on the recommendation of several other Lumberjocks. You can find a pound of powder for $10 or so and it will make a lot of rust removal solution. The main advantage of Evaporust over citric acid is that you can leave the parts in ER for as log as you want, citric acid will start to etch the metal after too much time.
