How often do you Okies actually hear "y'all" in everyday life?
Television doesn't count. 
(Serious question.)
And for the record, I've actually used "y'all" AND "all y'all" (the plural version) up here, but not on purpose... Don't ask where that came from... But it's a true story. 
(I think I was speaking to a former Virginian at work at the time.)

You can try the towns of: Vera, Ramona, Ochelata. Collinsville could also be considered, although it's just north of Owasso and becoming more suburban.
Copan, Oklahoma and Caney, Kansas are other options north of Bartlesville. Personally, I'd look at those other towns as they're in between Bartlesville and Tulsa with more business options.

We checked them out, and either they had a dearth of available properties or they were out of our range...
There's LOTS of places in Tulsa that are do-able, but it SO huge...

In my circle (teenagers living in a city), I maybe hear it once a week, if that. But small town Oklahoma, depends on where you are. I classify Oklahoma as more of a country state than a southern state. I've been to Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and in know way is Oklahoma south. Like I said, people don't say it on purpose. It just rolls out and sounds natural for those who do say it. Now, when I say it, that's a real laugher!

Once a week huh?
That's okay... I pick up languages and local patois rather quickly.
Thanks,

And I'd say:
A: "Sure I did!"
Or...
B: "I didn't, but I coulda woulda if you need it bud."
So... Did I pass that test... Or even come close? 
(Crossing fingers..)
No wait... You said "Use it in a sentence":
So I'd say:
You didn't bring me'all a six-pack widju didju?
Is that better????
No..... Wait..
That's the correct answer... Isn't it???
