Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

I walked the entire store including the back area and the garden section. No yellow tags, nothing. Everything mentioned and shown here in this thread is at full price. Wingmans full price, Dewalt bit sets full price. Nothing discounted, not even a single light bulb.

Going to try a HD in a different town. The city I live in, the HD is the only one in a 30+ mile radius, and this town has money.

ask an employee where the clearance section is - there were a few home depots where i couldn’t find one, till an employee showed them to me. some weird home depots said they had clearances only a certain day of the week - maybe yours is one of those?

I gotta ask, if the only way to find the real price is by scanning at the self-checkout, do you just load up a cart with all the items with “6” or “3” prices that you think might actually be lower, and run them through the self-checkout scanner?

I missed that, I checked here yesterday, still full price of $15.87 :frowning:

I wonder why we have no discount yet, that LED work flood light is 34.97ish on clearance.
I do wish those light adapters were sold here, if they were CSA approved i would buy a bunch, the only ones we have are the 2 bulb versions.

Bort,
You’ve made 2 mistakes. First one is the 100W equiv bulb that went to a penny is the daylight bulb, not the warm white.
Secondly, you can’t check for clearance prices on the internet. You must be in the store and scan the UPC IN THAT STORE

Sheeesh, I thought I learned you better than that :person_facepalming:

This is the penny bulb. (could be at various other stages of clearance, or not, elsewhere)

Can’t agree more. It’s the thrill of the hunt more than anything. Thanks to dcho for showing the way. And teaching how to track the hunt.

Thanks for the shout-out! Thanks to 3D printers, I have a battery holder/voltage regulator project for Mag xenon bulbs and it’d be a shame to let these go to the crusher. I’ll start a WTB thread for them. I’d like to compensate people for postage/their time plus a few pennies :beer:

I was just there but saw no need to take a picture of a regular price item.
Remember i am in Canada, the land of igloos and we have just been introduced to electricity. :smiley:
We don’t get penny deals here ever, out stores work on a different system then the American ones.
The daylight is not listed on the website but the warm white is hence i posted that link since it was available. Both are the same price and in stock on the regular shelf, i even scanned it since i am awaiting its price drop you have foretold, no dice :frowning:
The cheapest LED i’ve ever seen at a Canadian HD is $1.46, i bought all 20 of them.

We have energy saving coupons that are from the government, they used to be $5 off, i did once use them once to get 9 bulbs for 4 cents each after tax! The HD price was about $5 though, it was the coupon that cut the price.

They would not let me use the coupon on the $1.46 bulb, i tried.

Not to say i have not taken advantage of clearance deals, i got a wall sconce for $3 after (government) coupon, dozens of $2ish 60W LEDs (coupon), Defiant lights, batteries, Brinkmann tabletop BBQ and so forth. Never 1 cent though :frowning:

WOW THAT WAS $1.46? Those are originally $25! They were the god of LED bulbs! I always wanted one.

They are not that great, they are probably closer to 2500k and only marginally brighter then a 60W equivalent. If you lived near me i would sell you some, but i’m sure the shipping would kill the deal.
Well worth $1.46, not worth $5
They are not the L prize light, a few generations later, but 2-3 generations old now, takes a second to light up after they get power

Sorry, I forgot. :slight_smile:

Hey, if they don’t do the penny thing up there, not your fault right?

FlashPilot had me in WalMart looking for bargains a couple of weeks ago
Boy, that place is strrrrraaange! :smiley:

oh yeah, one more.

date on clearance tag of 02/24/16
I never noticed any Wiss products on clearance until now

Just came back from my local HD, no luck! :frowning:

Yes the Chargers with 2 cells are now a penny

No worries :+1:
Is it wrong to wish they crushed things here so i could buy for a penny?

oh master dchomak - how did you suspect that wiss tool would have penny’d out? it is a 0 price that does not seem to have a wind down schedule, and the date is fairly recent.

I scored a couple of penny deals this weekend. It was on two originally $46 under-cabinet LED task lights. I’ll try to post a pic later. The interesting thing was when I did the price check and then pushed the screen button to convert it to a check out the screen went to “Call Associate” or something to that effect, which we know could be trouble because the associate may confiscate the item. So I cancelled out fast and left the register quickly. But I went back shortly and just did a regular check out and the penny items went through normally without a hitch. So, bottom line, when the price check reveals a penny deal just cancel it out and return and treat it as a regular purchase. Keep the price check and the purchase as separate activities.

I’ve been to all but one HD in my city searching amongst the Leathermans for an overlooked Wingman but have found none. I’m going to have to go to the last one and check it now that dchomak has located some.

An associate told me the “Call Associate” happens when the discount sticker is scanned instead of the black bar code that is part of the product packaging. Ever since I started scanning the product bar code, I haven’t had that happen.

Congrats on the scores.

Good for you!

I should tell you that it is much more efficient to go into a store with the idea of looking for a large number of possible penny deals. The ability to do that will come with time as you notice what has been on clearance for the past few months. If you commit, your brain will literally be loaded with lots of possibly useless information………BUT, once in awhile it will pay off. :wink:

congrats! was this the 12 inch light? i remember seeing them at the 3 price which was around 12 bucks. i am a cheapskate so thought i would wait for the penny deal :slight_smile:

you can say that again… and again :slight_smile: i once went back to 3 wrong stores before hitting the right one trying to remember where i had seen a likely to be missed stash of armormax 3Ds when they went to a penny
