Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Here is a series of pictures I took today.
They tell a story…………



Did you sell them or are they Christmas gifts

Y0ou bought nine air compressors?

Only 8, the fork lift guy wanted one! :laughing:

Actually, I called the guy that first found 1 of these a few days, ago and he told me to “buy them all, we’ll figure it out later”

I don’t know what we will do with them
we’ll figure it out later. :smiley:

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

Guess he needed to top off a few tires and the local QuikTrip air pump was broken. :smiley:

KuoH

Something to keep an eye on

I found the secret location for items with no home!

That is beyond funny
If only my nearby stores had this! :smiley:

BUT………………………………
You have to be careful!
Maybe they’er not homeless :laughing:

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…

but now its shit the bed…

ohh well… keep the deals rolling!!

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

That sounds like it’s throwing a belt but most of the new oil free types don’t have a belt. Independent motors/compressors are pretty old school.

I got it working today. The cover was touching the belt pully. Nothing wrong with it, thankfully. Glad you posted about fixing it or I may not have ever bothered with it. Thank you sir!

That’s outstanding! You gotta love it when you can save something like that.

DOH! Thought I finally found a penny deal at a Home Depot I don’t visit that often. Found this dated June 13, 2017 and ending in an “x3” price:

It’s a single T8 fluorescent light strip. Take it up to self checkout for a price check and to my dismay I see:

What gives? The checkout attendant came over to me and asked me if I needed help. I replied, “No, I’m just doing a price check. Thought I might have found my first penny deal, but nope.” She then gave me a look as if to acknowledge the secret system.

Garry,
You are right, I have been seeing some strange things too. Tons of items that should have gone to a penny but haven’t. Others that have not gone to the next discount price as expected etc.

Today I was in a store and it looks like the Christmas season stuff is just coming out. These displays were just starting to be put up, but I was able to notice some brand new lights. Prices had not yet been posted on some.


This flashlight is the size of a 2D cell light but runs on 6-AA’s
700 lumen, dual beam. The main LED looks like an XP-L and it is surrounded by a “halo” of some sort of COB.



There was also a 2-C sized light that runs on 4-AA’s and a n AA sized light that runs on 4-AA’s
???


I only saw a price on the smaller light, $12.97
All 3 lights are very attractive color wise. Silver, Black and Grey,
All 3 lights have the dual beam LED’s

Interesting the 4AAA light should fit a 26650. I like the 4AA one. Look a lot better than the latest round of cheap Defiant branded lights.
