Just left my local home depot. Lots of “6” deals, some “3”, and a bunch of oddball markdowns (like 50% off). Picked up a black light bulb (A19 incand.) sticker priced at $1.03 with a D.O.B. of 2/09/2016 and it rang up $1.03! Saw tons of Rust Oleum special concrete paint gallons marked down to $13.03 (reg. over $50).
so at the self checkout i am nervously scanning my second armormax 3D at a penny, when the home depot employee sounded like she said something close to “that doesn’t seem right” and went over to find a supervisor. she comes back to me, and i realize she was talking about my armormax! she says “you can’t buy that” and my heart sinks, and she continues “just take them for free” free!! must have been a noob and probably didn’t find the supervisor. i walked out with 5 - all that they had.
for anyone close by staten island, i saw two of the locations still had stashes of these when i was there last week. so go get them, before i add to my armormax 3D penny collection
FREE!!!
First the Maglites for a penny and now this? AMAZING, Who are you?
Getting stopped and then getting it for free has happened to me and some others here before. Never with flashlights though.
A theory I have other than a noob is that they decided to protect the person responsible for pulling those flashlights from the shelves. They were probably already removed from inventory and if they are not rung up for a penny, nobody would know that they were missed and not pulled. Just another theory.
If you had broken into a sprint before with the Maglites, you are flying high now!
BTW, there IS a downside to getting them for free, you don’t get a receipt as proof to your score. :partying_face:
Keep an eye on those if you can. Most of the stuff I find for a penny are items that are missed when reducing the price from the “6” price to the “3”. They sit on the shelf not selling because no one knows they are 75% off. If they miss to markdown to the “3” price, there is a chance they will also be missed when they go to a penny… There could very well be stock when they go, and you should try to be there when they do. Cut a UPC code off one you have and carry it with you so that you can check price easily from time to time.
haha - i had also taken an ecosmart gu10 as a safety so that any employee glancing at my purchase would see a total more than a few pennies… but guess that didn’t work and now i have a receipt only showing that purchase.
all of my penny hauls have been because of you and this thread. i have been thinking how i can also post good new deals for this thread - but all my home depots have very messy clearance sections (and some don’t have any) with generally most things not marked properly. do you just happen to run across many home depots with great clearance sections? or do you have other methods?
I got 2 of these today at 2.53 - thanks to you, otherwise would have never known. nowhere were the prices marked - they were just lying with all the other chargers in the regular location (not the clearance section) and had no price stickers.
