all the duck tapes (except the camouflage) are at the penny price now. i got the solid red and yellow last week for about a dollar. i found these mac and cheese variety today for a penny
thank you master - your wisdom led me to this:
this guy didn’t have any prices nor was it anywhere close to its brethren. when i went to check the tools section where this could possibly have come from, i saw there was a newer model! something from master dchomak’s earlier wisdoms clicked in my brain and… see the following post also
i saw a box of these (only 3 inside) tossed into the clearance section with no prices. as the self checkout area was really busy, i did an additional level of check (same as with the above milwaukee torque lock) - i checked the electronics section and sure enough there was a newer version of this guy! so …
rule number whatever of the home depot penny club - if there is a newer version of an item, chances are that the previous version has gone to a penny - master dchomak has alluded to this in one of his many wise sayings.
What’s going on here???
First Garry posts a Lowes penny deal, now you post this
Seriously, that is a heck of a deal. 2 - 150W equivalent CFL’s for a dollar!
If I found those I would buy a bunch, each bulb is 2600 lumen. CFL’s are on ther way out, but you can’t beat the lumen to dollar ratio here. 5200 lumen for a buck, are you kidding me? For certain applications this is a great buy.
Radioshaq, thanks for the kind words. You are really getting the hang of it!
Yesterday I checked those 100W inverters, still $3.83. Found a couple of other penny items though, including another of the chargers with 2 - AA cells. I don’t know where they came from, I had already cleaned the store out, or so I thought. Suddenly one more appeared.
stick at it with the 100w inverter; they should be pennying out soon - i got them for a penny here. and the 2AA chargers around here all disappeared when they hit the penny! as soon as you had posted, i went around to collect ones i had seen before - but no luck.
Well the one 100W inverter that was left at my local HD scanned for $8.83 last night. This morning it and the display tag for $27.06 was gone.
I will get one eventually.
YMMV, but I have not been impressed with Sunbeam products from Dollar Tree and the like. I bought a bunch of Sunbeam 95-watt incandescents when they stopped making 100-watts, and they do not last very long. I have also found Sunbeam CR123A batteries for a buck at Dollar Tree or Big Lots but they do not get very good reviews online.
That said, if they work for you, that’s a great deal.
The CFLs are probably generic just like most other CFLs and the quality is no different.
I’ve had very good results from “Sunbeam” batteries; they used to be the best value I could find.
Compared to the CR2032’s from Fasttech, the Sunbeams are pure gold.
I ordered from FT and when I got them I thought they had shorted out during transit. So they sent another batch. Every one dead, both times.
I think we are getting too comfortable with no name products from chinese websites, the flashlights do well because they are simple and almost every model gets reviewed by a BLFer so we know what works and what to avoid, but the other stuff is plain garbage. Its basically dollar store rejects.
