dchomak, Iâve gotta start shopping at your store. I was tempted by the hoses at $20. $5 is ridiculous. And the air accessory kit for nearly nothing is sweet too.
Man, those are some good deals. All of the items in your last 2 posts are still full price at my HD's. I'll be keeping an eye out though. Thanks for the alerts.
Did you check today? I was there when they were being changed! Be patient, âthese deals will soon be at a store near youâ
BTW, I had a long talk with the price changing guy. Heâs the same guy that grabbed the rest of the VGA to HDMI adapters when I jammed the self checkout scanner. I first spoke to him that day, just after he took the other 4 down. It seems that he was NOT instructed to take them down just after I went thru the checkout, he was already enroute as part of his daily tasks. I was just lucky to get the 1 that I did at that store.
We also talked about the deals and he says that those Ryobi 4AH drill packs will go to $50.06 in a few weeks! He told me that the â6â price is usually 50% of the original price and the â3â price is half of that or 75% off. He confirmed that after that, they go to a penny and are pulled.
I also asked him about items going on clearance, getting cleared out and then coming back at full price. He told me that sometimes when they are cleared out, they go to the manufacturer, are repackaged and then sent back. Sometimes they go to other stores, that could explain why bulbs that I have seen cleared out in CT are still full price in MA. Also it could explain why that bulb you bought for a penny in SC is $28 here.
The BEST news is that he and I are now friends. He told me to just come up to him and ask him whatâs a good deal. Of course, penny deals are not to be a topic. Those I will have to continue to ferret out for myself.
HomeDepot in Canada just dropped the Defiant 150 Lumen 2-pack LED headlights from $19.99 down to $3.66 today.
- i grabbed the last two i seen form one store for that price.
These have 1-mode, use three AAA cells, electronic switch, and use the tiny CREE XB-D emitter in typical cool white. a plastic body and aluminum bezel, top switch, and adjustable head strap.
The plastic reflector is quite throwy with the stock XB-D, and the Amp draw on the cells is 0.65 amps. ( the package claimed 10 hours run time, but at that draw the AAA Defiant cells it came with will give a maximum of 1 - 1.5 hours average.
I quickly modded one of them with a re-flowed Nichia 119 emitter on the XB-D star, ( after modifying the star to accommodate the center padless 119)
i also resistored the driver back with a 7.5 ohm 1/2 watt to increase run time. Now its a much better tint with the 119, and runs for 4 - 5 hours on basic alkaline cells.
I just checked the pictures of the BF deals in post 128 and 136 but this combo pack is not there. Iâll check my store later today. Maybe itâs just a Canada thing?
No, canât think like that! I must enter the store with positive energy.
The is, and when I use it to scan that bar code it comes back with âOooopsâ
That means it doesnât know what it is.
Right now I am in a coffee shop and when I use it to scan a retail box of coffee, it returns that same âOooopsâ
It seems to work different then what we have, but that could be helpful if 1 cent items are removed from their database but are still in the store, but you will have to test that.
For some reason some products donât appear on the canadian website but do show up in the app, the annoying part is i canât see stock levels in neighboring stores on the web site, i can check the 64 nearest stores in under a minute with a few mouse clicks but it would take hundreds of presses and probably half an hour to do each one manually on the app.
We have a major storm on itâs way.
I was just in HD and EVERY flashlight in the store is up front being sold. They are already out of batteries. People are even buying the headlamps to be used as a flashlight.
What this means is that the BF and Christmas flashlights will not be around long enough to go on blow out prices The guy in front of me at the checkout was buying a Ryobi 18v drill because he was also buying the 18v lantern light that will run on the Li-ion pack.
Oh well, maybe next year.
Sorry to hear that. They tend to sell out down here even without storms. Please take care riding out this storm. Sounds like it's going to be a big one.
Yeah, itâs supposed to really be something.
I was in a diner this morning, one that I do not frequent, and we all were talking about the coming storm. Suddenly the waitress exclaimed âwell Iâm all set, got an awesome flashlight off Amazonâ Of course I perked right up and asked what kind. She said itâs got everything, itâs solar powered, has a hand crank, radio and can even charge up a cell phone.
Yep, sheâs all set.
I showed everyone my edc, aâ68. They were all amazed, no one ever saw a zoomie before
Yeah, youâre right.
I still have several of the DST and the 3D Defiants from last year.
