Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

If you can post a pic the app can scan it, its kinda fun running around the house and scanning random objects

like this ?

None at my local store, but it did scan

I just checked the pictures of the BF deals in post 128 and 136 but this combo pack is not there. I’ll check my store later today. Maybe it’s just a Canada thing?
No, can’t think like that! I must enter the store with positive energy.

Is there a US home depot app?

The is, and when I use it to scan that bar code it comes back with “Oooops”
That means it doesn’t 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 “Oooops”

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 don’t appear on the canadian website but do show up in the app, the annoying part is i can’t 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 it’s 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 :frowning: 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.

Cheer up, maybe they will come out with another super thrower this year in a D cell. You never know, but sometimes dreams come true. :slight_smile:

Yeah, it’s 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 “well I’m all set, got an awesome flashlight off Amazon” Of course I perked right up and asked what kind. She said it’s got everything, it’s solar powered, has a hand crank, radio and can even charge up a cell phone.
Yep, she’s all set.
I showed everyone my edc, a’68. They were all amazed, no one ever saw a zoomie before :smiley:

Yeah, you’re right.
I still have several of the DST and the 3D Defiants from last year.

Besides, today I got another penny deal :slight_smile:

I bet dchomak is the most prepared person in the entire northeast! I can only imagine the hoards of stuff he has stored up! All bought at a total expense of $1.64! :)

:smiley: Garry, I was just thinking the same thing!

Now that they are sold out…… I NOW have more flashlights than my local Home Depot :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

FP, what did you do with all those Defiant 3D’s from last year?

If that were true, then I would only have 164??? :smiley:

BTW, a couple of days ago I scored 6 of a storage container a little LARGER than those 106 quart blue tops that were $4 each. I was in the store rummaging around for some more of the blue tops when I came across 6 - HDX red tops that were not in the system. I ran into the manager whom I had just met the day before and pointed them out to him. As he scanned them with his scanner and did some checking, I offered him $2 a piece. Here rejected that offer and gave them to me for FREE!
Unfortunately I can’t prove this as I didn’t get a receipt. He escorted me OUT of the building with them. :open_mouth:
Here is a pic of the item tag. The colored ones are in stock and in the system, the clear ones are not.

The blue tops are in the attic, here is a new 3D kitty maze made up of the red tops. These are 120 quart size the blue tops were 106 quart.

I still have several of the Defiant 650 3D’s. These seem to have been the last of the well made HD/Lowes flashlights. The new replacement models have taken a steep decline in quality… such a disappointment.

I was visiting my local HD stores several months ago when you were posting all the Ecosmart LED bulb deals. After discovering that nearly all the “clearance deals” among 5 stores in my area were grossly overpriced, I pretty much gave up. During one visit, I sighted a worker wearing an orange apron pushing a cart stuffed full of LED Ecosmart bulbs. I asked him if they were on sale and if I could buy some. His specific comment to me was that HD was a shit-hole of a store that would rather throw away copious amounts of great dead stock merchandise than donate it, or reduce the price more than 5-10% for others to purchase to clear them out. That huge shopping cart full of bulbs was on its way to the crusher, just like so many other useful items that they destroyed.

Store policies are set by region, but some of them are so poorly managed that it makes my head spin. Im glad to see that many others have been able to capitalize on the penny sales strategies and make use of these great deals. Keep up the good work and keep posting!

Were you able to convince him to give you any of those?

We asked the store manager. He was very polite and apologized that there was nothing that he could do. I did argue the point that other stores were able to profit by discounting sales on items slated for return or disposal while increasing customer traffic through their stores for ancillary sales. Im sure he’s heard it all a million times and was very happy to go back and hide in his office.

The high (93) CRI Cree bulbs that JonnyC alerted us to (post 226) have seen another price reduction. The 60w equiv has been reduced from 7.46 to 4.03. I noticed the 40w reduced to 3.53 but brought one of both up to scan. This store only had 3 0f the 60w which I bought.

If anyone wants these high CRI Cree bulbs, I’m afraid you better act quickly. I am pretty sure these clearance prices will be found in most HD’s. JonnyC who first alerted us to them is in Wisconsin. His initial deal alert had them at $7.50. They have since gone to $7.46 (ends with a “6”, which means they would be reduced to a “3” price) and now to $4.03. I have seen them offered at all HD’s that I have been in lately in multiple States. I am presuming that this clearance is universal in scope, and if your HD has any left, they will now be $4.03. This is regardless if your HD is doing subsidies or not. Another pic from my hometown HD. At that store I grabbed the last 8 - 60W equivalent they had.
JonnyC’s alert

Later it goes to $7.46

And now to $4.03. These will not last at this price!
