Well with all this Maglite stuff going on and RadioShaq finding some at a penny, I figured it was about time I started looking for penny stuff again. I had been neglecting that. Surely if RadioShaq can do it, I CAN TOO!
Anyway during my trip last week I found some penny lights.
All for a penny each. Not exactly MagLites :confounded: But hey, it was the best I could do.
Congratulations to RS, he has found the “Holy Grail” of penny deals.
Actually I did find 8 of the Xenon Mags at a penny apiece, but only bought 2. On my return trip I stopped in an HD in New York. Same store I found 2 of the “Wingmans” at $7.53. In the flashlight section I checked the over head an saw this.
The arrow points to a full sleeve of Xenon Mags.
I crawled up 2 shelves, pushed to box on top backwards and retrieved the first 2 Mags. Then checked out.
I did have a hard time checking out though, the machine would NOT take cash.
When I left I went next door for lunch to think about whether or not I wanted to risk climbing up again. (Concrete floors)
Then I suddenly realized that the 2 lights I retrieved at a penny apiece were not on the retail floor! To me, it’s one thing to get an item for a penny when it is out and for sale and another when it is in storage.
So I decided that was it,and continued my journey.
Some times Home Depot makes it too easy. I found these 2 liquid soap dispensers on the clearance rack priced at a penny!
The Dremel tool was marked at $13.06, but because of the date I new it would ring up for a “3” price. In this case $5.03
That tool is compatible with most of the oscillating heads, I have a 12V Ridgid.
Awesome finds - dchomak!!
well, i might have let the deal of the century go… last week on my search for maglites i noticed a makerbot 3D printer in clearance. i remember thinking - huh, so homedepot sells 3D printers - and thought nothing more about it. a few days later, i started googling to see if there were other sites listing homedepot penny deals and came across http://slickdeals.net/f/7735565-dedicated-thread-home-depot-b-m-ymmv-clearances-xx-06-xx-03-1-cent-deals-and-other-significant-discounts. it had the 3D printer listed at a penny!!! so back i went the next day and it was gone…
by the way - where in New York was that Xenon maglite find?
So you’re willing to climb the shelves? :laughing:
I will PM you which one. 
BTW, I got lots of other penny deals to, too many to list.
i won’t lie - the thought did cross my mind 
but its a bit too far for me. so will save the climbing for a future date. used to work in stocking a long time back - and i was a spiderman!
I assume it works the same in the US as Canada, if i need something thats stacked or on the top shelf they will bring out the vehicle to bring down the pallets, and someone walks in front of it with flags while it beeps on its way to the correct aisle.
Damn poiihy. Nice finds. I would have snagged a pry bar, deadbolt, and 1” T for sure.

That’s not a pry bar, this is a pry bar
I passed on the smaller bars as I already had some, but that big one. Just had to have it. There were 2 and they were marked down to $7.53.
In the background I’m in the middle of boxing up lights to various BLFer’s. I just noticed the price on the Tape Dispenser and 2 rolls of tape. Staples has good deals too!
Dchomak, that’s called a “Stud Wrench” around here- it’s used to un-twist poor lumber. Nail one end straight, un-twist, then nail other end straight. Good framers use those a lot, you can’t get decent lumber anymore :cry:

Thats one hell of a pry bar!
My store only had the little guys. Still useful but sometimes you just need a bigger tool.
And I thought it was some sort of demolition bar :rage:
Good for that too. Twist nailed studs loose by using it right against the plate and the stud won’t split.
For ‘whacking’ things I love my sledgehammer- I’ve worn out (not by damage) 2 handles and have years left in the 3rd as long as I don’t miss or loan it out :smiling_imp:

I have finally achieved penny-purchase nirvana! This headlight was at $3.83 for about a week. I took it to the register to do a price check and suddenly the screen was surrounded by rays of light emanating from the screen with heavenly choirs lifting their voices to the firmament! The price was 1 penny. I quickly paid and hurried from the store before my dream could be shattered by reality. It was originally $14.99. It’s like the commercial at Christmas where Santa sees the big, giant M&Ms and says, “They do exist!” before he passes out. (If a picture shows up, it’s from random website. I’ll post a picture of the item and sales slip when I get home tonight.)
congrats!
and welcome to the penny club
I have been watching that head lamp for some time. I have brought one more than once to check the price, it had always been $3.83. Now I know, next one I see will probably be a penny.
Thanks
dchomak - do you know what the 3 price date is? sorry to automatically assume that you would know - but you are HWMBK (he who must be knowing)
They basically emptied the flashlight shelf at my Home Depot. Not much left.
