Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Did you try and talk them into selling it to you?

I didn’t bother, it would have been taken a lot of time and what would it result in? Even if I got it for a dollar, I did as well at Costco when I got a bunch of high CRI bulbs there for a dollar each. And they were 60W equivalents, not 40’s

BTW, it seems everywhere I go I see bargains. Sunday my wife wanted to go to Target, I dropped here of and went next door to Lowes while she shopped. I finished early and went into Target to find her. Within a minute I’m seeing items marked at 0.00! I shot pics of a couple.


I showed my wife the pics and she asked how I do that. Do what I asked?
How do you make prices drop like that just by walking in the store?
She made me show the checkout girl and she called the manager. Turns out they have a new person putting up the stickers and they screwed up. How bad I don’t know, we left.

very nice, i’ve never seen a high CRI bulb for a good price, they are extremely rare here and when they do pop up cost $15-25 each :frowning:
I’ve been wanting to get some to experiment with

You have “the knack” :sunglasses:

It’s all a hoax. You print your own stickers and go around town creating havoc in the stores.

You can’t prove that!

It’s a rain/freeze sensor that you connect to your irrigation control valve, so that when it is raining or freezing, the controller does not water the plants.

darn, not what i need :frowning:

No it isn’t; when I was new to this I was really surprised (and maybe still are) at all the deals dchomak finds, and was wondering whether they were even real, but then I found my first 1¢ items (Light Almond Fan Control Switches) and after that found more 1¢ items… I often found good discounts so recently I started taking pictures of them to keep track of them and post them here for others to enjoy.

You just have to learn the physics of Home Depot’s pricing of clearance items, and over time you will get better and find more stuff.

I wandered into my HD today and found the mini Mag combo for 6.33. There were only six so I grabbed three.

Wow! awesome - good for you. i checked a fourth home depot today and they also didn’t have any :frowning: however i did find the energizer pop-up lantern + flashlight deal that dchomak had posted earlier for 5.03 :slight_smile:

Dchomack the fold out led energizer lantern has a no PWM ramping feature .Just hold down the button and ramp to any brightness .

you need to stop buying so much and read the packaging more .
I saw these in target when they first came out and was ……very impressed .
the 32$ is what stopped me but i’ve always said if the price was right I’d be all over them …
I like the no-glare and the ramping is cool …what was the final .03 price ?

YES!!!
The hunt is on.
That mini Mag Pro is 272 Lumen. That’s real honest to goodness Lumen, not Chinese. What I am finding out recently though is that not all stores go to the “3” price at the same time. That can be good AND bad. Good in that once the “3” price hits it gives people that are late to the party a chance to score. Bad in that the actual date can not be known with absolute certainty.

You are right on both counts! So many lights have gone on clearance at HD and Lowes that I just can’t keep up with it all.
To my credit though, after thinking about my statement above about Energizers claim of 100 hour runtime, I read the instructions and discovered the ramping mode.
How cool is that.
Also last night I cracked open one of the popup lantern, flashlight combos. The popup lantern also has the ramping function. The flashlight is both a mini worklight and a flashlight. The worklight portion does not have the ramping. I am reposting the final “3” price for each.

Both of these lights at these price are impressive deals. In fact when I finally tried out the popup lantern yesterday I went back to my local store and grabbed the last 2. They were unmarked and hanging on a hook by the contractors checkout. They were hard to see and were passed over because no one else other than I knew they were there or what price they would ring up at.

Also while I was there I spotted this Philips 100W equiv bulb. 1500 Lumen. It was down by the floor and there was one of those rolling ladders in front of the whole display. I had to crawl into and under the ladder to photo the price tag.
$4.00, I was ready to get some when after looking at the pic on my phone I realized that price was for some other CFL bulb. I brought one up to scan, looking up the price on my phone as I went up. List price was $9.97. Even though this light was unmarked I wanted to see what it would ring up for. $7.65
That price is approximately 25% off list. I put it back and will wait to see if it comes down more. What kind of a clearance price is $7.65? Strange for a HD

We have one of those up on our roof/gutter. It’s wireless and senses if there’s rain. Our sprinkler system uses that to determine when it doesn’t have to come on, e.g., if there’s a bunch of rain.

Nice score …At 7.50 $ i’m going to go see if they have anything at my local HD.

I found 4 of the Mini Maglite Pro combos at $6.33

And the Armour MAX 3D went to $7.93

The store only had one, another local store has 17 but they have not yet dropped the price. At that store they are still at the “6” price of $19.06. Every other store in the area is out of stock.
Remember this light was once $31.47

I was all over this, got 14

While getting the Mini Mags above, I came across this.
10 packs of RayOVac Fusions. They are marked at $4.96 but rang up for $1.73


Good replacement batteries for the Lanterns. I however use the “DuraLoops” scored at Target a couple of years ago.

Good to know these are being replaced, they cost $16 here, i have one i got a year ago, its a good bulb, its delisted from the Canadian website, but then again our website has been screwed up since last years overhaul so it actually does not mean anything.
Sometimes you get things on clearance then we do, so thanks for posting it and i will watch this bulb at our stores.

About this ‘ramping feature’… Does this happen with those lights?: press button once, low mode, press button twice, high mode, press button once and then hold, ‘ramping’ feature, hold down button, momentary full brightness.
If so then that is exactly the same behavior as my nightcore tube.

It’s press and release and it is on high. Or if you press and hold it goes into a continuous ramping down. You let go when you have the desired brightness. OR of you press and hold and continue to hold it will ramp down, then blink, then ramp back up.
