This is what it looks like. Itās funny, I stopped by my HD this morning. Thatās where I snapped the pictures above about the Brass Lantern. I had been keeping and eye on the Weather light. This morning it was still tagged at $15.06. Sometime today it was tagged at $4.83
I went back this afternoon on my way home because of Lazy-R-us post. He was the one who alerted us
This lantern can run on either 3 - AA or 3 D cells.
I would have brought one of these up to scan for price this morning but for weeks now the self checkouts have been closed!
Lazy-R-us, the 6 price is usually about 25% of the original price and the 3 price is usually 75% off. In the case of this WeatherReady light, the original price of $18.97, take 75% off that and you get $4.74. Hence the 3 price of $4.83
Here is a couple of gems I found today while I was on the prowl. They were hidden in a clearance box in the Mailbox isle. Someone stuffed them down into the display box. I was looking through the box and I saw a corner of the plastic wedged between the two pieces of cardboard that make up the side of the display. Yanked them out, and low and behold it was quite the deal. Im pretty sure someone hid them hoping for a secret penny deal later on.
Now that Iām wise to the clearance game Iām finding that alot of people locally try to hide the clearance stuff at HD.
Brings me back to my days of working in a Sears hardware. On the night before black friday we all had to stay late and āunhideā all the merchandise that people hid. Took like an hour. We would find stuff in the bathrooms, hidden in the toolboxes, in the drawers where we kept the extra sockets, Some people would do anything to get their hands on the doorbusters. You literally had to tear the store apart.
Yes, I have seen some DeWalt hand tools at the 6 price. I didnāt know they had gone to the 3
A couple of days ago I got these Milwaukee hand tools. They too had gone to the 3 price. For the most part I had missed the Milwaukee clearance. HD still carries the Milwaukee line of hand tools, they just updated the model numbers.
The hex jaw on the left was $5.03 and the āvise gripā on the right was $2.83
The item #ās are in the upper right corner of each
The V-Jaw pliers are 12ā and is quite a nice tool.
BTW, I have never seen any of the Milwaukee stuff at the 3 price. Though these rang up at the 3 price, they were still marked at the 6.
We know the Maglites had gone to a penny. In the upper right hand corner are the replacement bulbs for the Xenon 2D. They were $1.03 but went to a penny also. I picked those up for a member that can use them for a project. Those are stainless steel wire brushes. There were a couple of cases of them, but how many can I use? Also I found 2 packs of the EveryReady āFusion AA cells that were previously $1.73
Here are 3 types of in wall digital timers and 2 plugins.
These PostIT notes were a penny also. Can you imagine people would pay the list price of $4 a pack?
On these 2 telescoping painting poles I got lazy. I was way in back of the store with one of them in my hand when an employee walked by. I was hoping they would now be at the 3 price and asked her to scan for price. She did and told me that it was a penny and could not sell it to me. She said she would like to sell it to me, but she couldnāt. I told her that was OK and I would put it back. I knew where they came from, so I raced back to where they were and put it back, and took the other 2 that were there!
Nothing down to a penny or what Iād consider a āmust buyā price yetā¦ getting there.
But look at the born on date hereā¦ Nov of last year. How is this NOT a penny or in the trash yet? I also wonder if these connected bulbs require a hub to work, or if they are self-contained and can be controlled via the app directly.
This is a good deal, and a must buy if I had the Wink hubā¦ my FIL doesā¦ maybe Iāll tell him about it. Cheaper than the wifi/wink enabled light switches he put in.
And CHECK IT OUTā¦ Maglite finally has their own S2 style/size light. āOnlyā 200 lumensā¦ No idea what emitter it has.
And a tail clicky switch!
Also went to Lowesā¦ nothing super to be found thereā¦ I donāt like how the clearance is all over the place. On the other hand, it makes it harder for others to snag the really good items too. Found this wall of tools.
LOL! I can see dch now carrying up a couple cases up to the self-checkout and paying with a $5 bill!
Darn, I noticed Milwaukee hand tools at my Home Depot on clearance last Saturday and think they were marked at an ā06ā price. Maybe I should check them out.
Iām headed to Lowes right after work. Looks like I need to checkout the tools aisle(s)! Good thing Home Depot is right next door too!
