Why not just ask them to pull them down for you, pick an associate without a price scanner on them if possible
I am noticing most of the Defiant lights are disappearing from the shelves at Home Depots here in Canada in my area. The days of the good Defiant lights like the DST are gone. two of my local HDs dont have any Defiant lights at all now, only crappy Husky & energizer plastic lights.
Rescued
The Xenon 2-Cell C&D bulbs are extremely easy to find. They are up by the registers and look too much like the 3-Cell C&D bulbs which are not on clearance and still $3.98 each. I believe they are missed because they are hard to tell apart. Not really, all you have to do is read the package.
Who would want them? I was passing over them until I got a PM from a member here that has a use for them. PM me if you have any and want to donate or sell them cheap to him.
i have 3 (well 4 - but i tore one out to play with) xenon bulbs that i can donate if in the US. i should be able to send them as letter post, no?
and have those energizers penny’d out?
bloody hell it is like 10 am and a mouse was just caught in one of the small mouse traps. these bastards are crawling around in the daytime right next to us! :rage:
yeah - one of the stores here actually had it in overhead shelf with the netted enclosure - tons! i might go over one of these days and risk asking an employee to get some for me…
Over at my local Home Depot today. Not one single yellow tag sale in the entire store. I walked every isle. Nada
Check the clearance section. Sometimes it is hidden in the back.
After I dropped my wife was at the Casino to play the penny slots, I was allowed to take the car and visit the nearby HD’s for penny deals. At this Home Depot less than 2 miles away I saw these Wingman’s buried on the bottom of a stack of the newer, replacement Leatherman’s.
Anyone want to guess how much they rang up for?
There were 2.
–1c? 
sweet! i bought a few of the sharpening stone oil for a penny today - after seeing them in dchomak’s rescue pic. besides sharpening knives, what else can it be used for?
Perhaps this was just a Canadian thing but most coupons used to say cash value 1/20th of a cent, i always wondered if the company would refund you the money if you grabbed a few million undelivered coupons or unused coupons and tried to redeem them for cash
I would think that it is just a thin oil, like 3 in 1 oil. Maybe someone else would know.
Did you notice that I scored the Maglite Trifecta? Mag Xenon, Mag LED and Mag mini pro combo!
AND if you know baseball and count the Defiant ArmourMax 3D, I hit for the “cycle”
The “single” being the Xenon Mag
The “double” obviously being the Mini Mag combo
and I will leave it up to the reader as to which is the “triple” and which is the “Home Run”
wow - are those recent scores? and did you get the combo for a penny??!!!
ha, for a minute i was wondering - what’s this new maglite trifecta light that dchomak got?
i scored my own armormax trifecta last weekend - a 3D, a 3C (not the DST), and a 5C for a penny each! all sitting pretty together on a sparse flashlight shelf. this was at the nearest home depot; i go there quite often, and i know they were not in display anywhere in the store before that day. i suspect an employee placed them to be picked up by a friend or something…
Wow, the Defiant trifecta!
Yeah, everything on that table I found Friday and for a penny. Look carefully, a lot of the items we talked about earlier have now gone to a penny.
The next day, Saturday, when we went to the casino i found another tables worth.
Saturday’s rescue.
Included here are 2 packs of Energizer Lithium Plus AA and AAA cells
Do not believe the price stickers. This was a penny.
Here is some more information on the Bernz O Matic swivel torch head. The model that went on clearance at $8.83 is model TS99T. It’s replacement is model TS99 and is at the list price of $34.97. I looked everywhere for the “T” model but could not find any.
These 65 piece bit sets first came out at $14.88, then were reduced to $12.00. Just recently they were reduced to a “4” price.
from about a week ago.
The “4” price is like the “6” price but instead of being about 25% off, it is usually around 50% off. And things happen a lot faster than the “6” price. It goes to a “2” price in about a week or 2. The stores that had this bit set for $7.54 were suddenly cleaned out. So yesterday when I saw this display I KNEW they would be at the “2” price. That “2” price is too good to pass up, the reason all other stores were cleaned out.
This store missed marking them to $7.54, the reason they still had stock. There were 4, and I got ’em all.
And finally, I was actually relieved that these did not scan for a penny. All of these light fixtures are tagged at the “6” price and have dates old enough that ordinarily they should scan for a penny, but they didn’t.
Whew, I would have been compelled to buy them but actually I am glad they scanned as marked. 
And lastly, here is the receipt for the 2 Wingman’s. Such a pretty sight.
Congrats on all the great scores dchomak and radioshaq. Very impressive.
My scores recently have mostly been 75% off prices on chisels, pry bars, floodlight, etc. I did score a penny key chain flashlight and a penny Ryobi magnetic screw holder for power drills. They were in completely different areas than they should have been and had no discount stickers on them. Probably wouldn’t have checked if I had not read some of the ways you 2 are finding some of these deals.
Intentional marketing ploy or not, these random penny finds have me stopping at HD’s pretty much every time I pass one and have the time. I end up buy full price stuff sometimes that I know will not likely ever make it to clearance. I see others in the store trying to do the same thing. It’s funny. We all seem to try to act like we are not searching for penny deals. A big nation-wide covert adult Easter egg hunt.
EDIT: The post above ^ posted while I was typing this post. Just amazing dcho scores there. I got full discount sticker price when trying some of those same lights too.
Hey Bort,
I don’t know if you noticed it in Friday’s rescue pic, but the Philips 100W equivalent DayLight LED went to a penny. I could only find 1 though.
The reason I was looking for them, even at the “3” price of $2.53 is because a friend bought 10 of the 1 to 7 E27 adapters and wanted to fill all 10 with them. Those bulbs are downward firing and 10 of those fixtures up high in his 20’ high ceilings would be giving off 7 x 1500 x 10 Lumens. (105,000 Lumens!)
My wife is staying at her friends house overnight, boy am I going to have fun!
Good luck finding these at Banggoods site. You would need this link:
