I also printed your bar code, and tried it at my work HD, right price, couldn’t find any. So I went to the home decor area and got an employee to check inventory. “oh that’s a closeout, and… We don’t have any.” “Could you check the local stores?” “Sure! Oh there are 15 at this one.” 20 minutes later I have verified the scan price and located them on the top shelf of the other store, 20 minutes after that, a guy finally got 2 of them down for me. As I walked away I told the group of employees who were ‘helping’ “this will ring up for 50 bucks - they are on clearance.” They didn’t believe me and came over with thier scanners - sure enough. Those 3 guys looked like they just came downstairs on Christmas morning when I told them there where still 13 left in the store.
I found a 3rd one, same way I found my first 2. Scanned the cutout UPC code, found that the price was $48.00 and then searched the store for one. This time the price tag was still at $123.00
BTW, this was the same store I mentioned earlier than scanned at $123.00. All it took was a couple of days and the price changed.
HD has a so-called 3’ LED shop light for ~$15, (it’s only 33” long), i think dc mentioned them earlier, so i got one to test out—and it is a really bright stick of light.
It draws ~34W from the mains, puts out 3,000 lemons at 4000K with 80 CRI and comes with a 5’ power cord and two 9.5 inch chains for hanging. It does get really warm on the back side, almost too much to touch or hold. But it seems to be a good value with gobs of light for not too much $.
I was in a HD today and the tool guy was talking about that miter saw deal. Some guy had come in, knew where they were and the price and bought them all.
I would LOVE to find that 40V Ryobi combo set for $33!
And that is also a NICE looking light, the price is even nicer!
I was lucky to find anything. My local HD is usually picked clean. I went again this week but there was nothing really. My dog got a nice walk out of it tho.
They did have a small glass bistro table for $12. But I have no use or place to store that. Plus I already have a nice table from Costco that was on clearance…
Nice find on those compressors. I would buy them all too. Lol
I hadn’t thought to checkout the garden section in quite awhile.
Lately I have, and found this. 4 of the 40V Ryobi mowers out in Garden, no protection from rain.
I think I now know why I have been finding water damaged 40V batteries in the recycle bin.
Of the 4 mowers, 3 were 20 inch machines and were marked down 50% to $149
But there was a 16 inch machine that was 75% off, marked down to $49.
I found the battery and charger to that one in the grass catcher bag.
4Ah battery!
But I can see that it and the charger has gotten wet
So at the register I was sure to check everything out before I bought, and everything was good.
Happy with this one for sure :+1:
I have been struggling to find anything lately. I have picked up a few small things here and there but nothing worth posting. Lightning cables went to a penny I grabbed 2 of them
I saw the Ryobi mowers but they are 149ish, i have a riding mower so I dont need one.
Id like to find a compressor, mine just seized up on me 2 days ago… It was a Kobalt i got for free from the guy at the local transfer station. Someone dropped it off and said that it didnt work anymore, it was brand new but the digital screen display wouldnt light up. i fixed the loose wire in 2 minutes and had a new compressor for free…
Dead how? lots of compressors need an occasional rebuild. The kits are usually pretty cheap if the motor runs. If it’s the motor it gets a little pricier. I have one I picked up for next to nothing at a garage sale ($20 for it along with a handful of DVDs and a hedge trimmer) it needed a capacitor ~$60 and few minutes of my time.
It started screeching really loud and then smelled like it was on fire. It’s a small one and it’s oil free which suck anyway. I’ve just never needed a large compressor. I will prob try to find a big used one and rebuild though. I do a lot of wood working and I’d like to be able to use an air sander
Something to keep an eye on
