Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Yes, very surprised!

I was at Home Depot Wednesday and Thursday - nothing that great found, though I did pickup a pancake air compressor clearanced at $39.

Oh, and I bought the HF Battery brush years ago to use for plumbing work too!

I just got back from traveling the 24 miles to the nearest HD over the State line to Massachusetts. I made the trip to see if they still had the Wink light bulbs and were they a penny or still at the “3” price.
They were still out, but they still scan at the 3 price. Here is a pic of what they had and also they had the “Better Light, Made Right bulbs. Up there they are $21.00.

I really lucked out, I found the very last twin tank compressor in the whole area. It was up in the over head.
I didn’t think to shoot the picture while it was still up there. The guys there were very surprised they had one left (like I believe that!) It was up there because some employee wanted it. :wink:

Also up there, the Black and Decker Power to Go that went on clearance here for 20.03 is a NEW item. Price is $69.97

Cree bulbs are 97 cents

Across the street at Dollar Tree, they have LED blubs too, an even $1

And even stranger than that, right next door to Dollar Tree there is a GoodWill store. LED bulbs are $2! there :smiley:

My excuse for taking the afternoon off and going up that way was because my accountant is up there and I had the papers proving my innocence with the IRS. He wasn’t in his office, but that was OK. The real reason I made the trip was to check out that HD :wink:

Wow dchomak used to have no idea… Can’t believe such a time existed.

Just think back to a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth . . .

:wink:

With budget primary cells you have to stick with brand names when ordering as well as finding out the expiration date. Even then I see a 10% reject rate. I bought some no-name SR41’s for my Nano and they seemed like alki LR41’s. Bought Energizer SR41’s- lots better- which conformed my doubts. Sure glad I’m not feeding that little bugger anymore, button cells get expensive!

I got one! now, need to find the link hub. they were at 29 about a month back; i had thought who would want them at 29? i do! now that i can get the bulbs for a penny

is that philips 75w also at a penny??

by the way - i was around dchomak’s territory this weekend. visiting a friend in west hartford. when he asked what i wanted to do on saturday - i said ‘homedepot!’ to his utter bewilderment :slight_smile: he took me to the bloomfield location next to university of hartford. walking down the hallowed aisles, i was dead set on asking any person browsing the clearance section - “dchomak?” no dchomak and nothing worth buying. probably dchomak cleared it already for the week.

a memento of my visit - and a pretty good deal if i already didn’t have one

dchomak do you pick up a penny from the ground if it has tails up?

i picked up 2 of those defiant $9.88 flashlights today. pretty good.

Have you been able to disassemble it? I can’t figure out how to get to the reflector and the LEDs…

Of course!
Tails up, tails down doesn’t matter to me. I would appreciate one on edge every once in awhile though. Easier to pick up. :wink:

Over the weekend we were in Rhode Island at my great nieces baptism. Got a chance to hit a few HD’s while there, but I see that while I’m off trekking in foreign lands, my hometown HD is being raided by an invaders.

I should tell you, you missed something…………

And in late July a friend from the Midwest is coming to visit. We have a whole day planned scouting HD’s in your area for deals. As a sign of respect I am asking you to PM me with a list of the ones you frequent so as not to infringe on you territory.
Actually respect has nothing to do with it. No sense wasting time trying to conquer barren lands. LOL

Where can these Defiants be found , which stores and in what part of the USA ?

go to homedepot.com, search for “defiant 850 lumen” and it should show stock near your area. click change store and it will show other stores with stock count. i think once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Hey there’s a new “Rude!” button next to “Mark as SPAM” :open_mouth:

Nah, your imagining it

A couple of days ago, Saturday, my wife and I went to a show at Mohegan Sun. On the way back home I asked if it was OK to take a little out of the way trip that would only add about 10 more miles to our trip so that I could visit a HD that I had not been to in a long time. We got there about 7:50PM and I took a quick tour, I rounded up a few items I knew would be a penny and another that was a good possibility. As I went up to the self checkout, THEY CLOSED IT DOWN FOR THE NIGHT.
aaaarrrrrgggggg!!!
All I could do was take this photo of my frustration. What I had found was another one of the NiMH charger and 2 cell combos, 2 more of the Mag 2D Xenon bulbs, and another package of Lithium Plus AAA cells. All things I have found before, many times. Nothing great, but I was being denied!

As we drove home, I was miserable, that is until we stopped at a Dunkin Donuts near closing time and they gave me a free donut! At least that was something. After I ate my donut and got over my dismay I remembered that Sunday we were going to Rhode Island for my great nieces baptism. I did a route check on the GPS and showed my wife that if I inserted that same HD that we just left as a via on Sunday, our trip would actually be 2 miles shorter. Happy again.
So Sunday morning we hit that HD once again at 8:30AM, I ran in and self scanned my 4 penny items, off loaded them to the car and ran back in to check the “maybe” penny item. Yep, that was a penny too.
As I left the second time the self check girl yelled out “Hey, where are you finding this stuff ?” She had noticed me both times.
The “maybe” item


As we drove on to Rhode Island, stress free, “it was time to stop and smell the roses”
It’s important to loosen up after the grind of deal hunting at HD, other wise one might loose their mind :slight_smile:
We were now out in the country, yes much of Connecticut is rural, and we came across this little house and this tree………
How can a tree be formed so perfectly. It looks as though it was trimmed, as a bush.

Then I remembered I had come across that same tree last fall.

much later, after the Baptismal and the house party, on our way back home I dropped my wife at a Rhode Island casino and I checked out the 5 Home Depots that were within a 5 mile radius.
I scored BIG.

Home Depot has just cleared out a whole line of air compressors. A week ago a friend of mine in town called and told me they went on clearance and wanted to know how many I bought. I told him none, I didn’t even know. He then mentioned that he and his Dad were in our local store and they had just marked them down. There were 12 pieces of a dual tank, 1 1/2 horse model that was marked from $180 to $45. One guy grabbed 9 and 3 other guys grabbed 1 each before they even had a chance. He was hoping that I had already known about it and grabbed a bunch of them for myself and my friends, as he knew that is what I would likely do. He really wanted one and I felt bad for him. Heck after talking to him, I wanted 1 too!
The next day, I went to the service desk and asked them to check all stores in the area for stock. All gone. They even told me that most stores were sold out even BEFORE they hit the floor. Probably employees.
I did manage to find another single tank model marked down from $130 to $33. While in the store I called a couple of other friends, told them about that model and bought 7. Why 7? Well, 1 for me, 2 for one friend that said he wanted 2, 1 for another friend, 1 for me again :slight_smile: , another for the friend that said he wanted 2 cause I KNEW he would want 3. And then 1 more, just in case. Of course the friend that wanted 2 asked for a third, and after he saw it out of the box, he wanted a 4th!
So my planning went perfectly.
Also during my travels to Rhode Island, etc. I was able to find 2 of the twin tank models for $45 each. Both were the display models. NEVER have I seen something sell out so quickly. These compressor deals seem to be in every store.
These may still be available in your local store. Just today I found the second twin tank model and have seen the single tank still in stock for $33

Here are the specs.

The 3 gallon single tank model has been replaced with a 4 gallon model that looks exactly like it. It sells for $199

Here are both compressors side by side in my driveway. I couldn’t resist at these prices

BLF needs an upvoting system

I’ve been on vacation in Northern MI for the last 4.5 days; I need to get to my local HD stores ASAP!

You guys are killing me.
