My local hd now has those black & decker chargers on clearance.
Looks like more stores are clearing them out.
Me too, I was just looking through the reviews, then checking the deal alerts and found this threadâŚnow Iâm a hopeless addict.
Run away Jcenzo run away before itâs too late! 
And I think these are the best homedepot penny deal related posts anywhere in the internet; especially dchomakâs posts - canât get any better.
Agreed, I tried searching for others when I was trying to figure out why my local stores never seemed to have the deals I saw on here. I could not find anything lose to dchomakâs level of dedication and information.
Now if only my local stores would get lazy and allow deals to actually drop like they shouldâŚ.
United Gilsonite Lab Drylok Clear Masonry Waterproofer - 1 Gallon
$0.01
SKU 1000046688
I saw some of that stuff awhile back when it first went on clearance. Nice to know it pennied out.?
This past weekend I traveled 200+ miles into Pennsylvania for a wedding. I made the mistake of traveling through New York on Friday afternoon during rush hour :confounded: At one point it took me 4 hours to travel 20 miles.
My purpose for that was to visit the Worldâs Largest Home Depot, located in Vauxhall, NJ
I tried to take a picture of the store in the parking lot. Standing from the furthest part, this all of the store I could get in the shot. BTW, all these pics will be at 100% width for effect.
It was late, very late due to my 4 hour traffic jam.
The only way I could get a full shot of the store, it is huge, is from google earth. I measured the length and width, not including the garden section, and it looks like there is 230,000 square feet of retail space.
When you first walk in you come upon the Customer Service area. Count them, there are 6 employees back there.
Turning to my left is a shot of the store in itâs shorter wing. Notice there is a full size Dunkin Donuts store left most with seating and tables.
Turning to the right is the even longer wing of the store. Notice that there are 18 checkout registers! As I said, it was late and from what I can see in this picture, only register 16 is lit. That was the self checkout register and it had 4 self checkout terminals.
Actually, those checkouts only go down to 11 in this part of the store. There is a large gap and then registers 1 thru 10 are much further down. So far down that in this picture they disappear into the horizon.
Just to the right of Customer Service is the Automotive section. I made a bee line for that as I wanted to check and see what they had. Other stores do not have an automotive section.
Car batteries were full price, but the first I noticed was this.
I posted a couple of weeks ago about the 6000 pound REESE hitches and how they had gone to a penny and replaced by identical looking 7000 lb hitches. In all I have previously found 5 at a penny.
Well this store had a bunch of both, so I grabbed a couple and brought them up to self checkout. They scanned at full price, $29.97. What theâŚ.? My heart sank as I was bringing them back. I thought this store is so HUGE, they NEVER have to clear out anything. THEY HAVE SO MUCH SPACE.
The next thing I came across sort of confirmed what I was thinking.
In the cleaning section, next to automotive hangs both the 6â telescoping poles AND the 9â telescoping poles. Each on their hook with their price. A month or so ago, the 9â poles went to a penny. I have been finding them at stores because they look just like the non clearanced 6â poles. I look for the 2 white rings as the 9â has 3 sections and the 6â just 2. When I saw that display I thought to myself, see that not cleared out and still for sale a full price. I took one anyway and brought it up to scan. A penny! So I went back and rounded them all up and checked out.
It was getting really late now, close to closing time, so when I went back in I went right back to the cleaning section to look for items I know should be a penny.
Mops and poles. A couple of weeks ago the RubberMaid mop pole and cotton mop combos went to a penny. They were replaced with new stock. Old stock that went to a penny have wide red bands at the heal of the mop. The new stock have black heals.
Here is the first of 4 I pulled from in back of the display. What a tangled mess of poles and mops that display was.
On the left is the penny item, on the right $16.97
At this point it was too late to âwalk the storeâ, it would take hours anyway. In automotive I saw this and it confirms what
Bc412 mentioned a few days ago, the Black and Decker stuff is on clearance in other States. Notice the â4â price, in about 3 weeks it will go to half of this and then to a penny. I got the boosters at an even $20, looks like this time they will go to $17.52, or more likely $18.02
Here is some other stuff I saw while in NY
The Ridgid TriStackâs have gone to a penny. I actually found a store that had 2 on the floor, but when I checked for price with my UPC code I wasnât careful and the checkout person saw it. Of course there was a lot of commotion and they were pulled. I really wasnât expecting it to be a penny, I was hoping it would be $75.03!
I should have gone to Customer Service and offered the $75.03 each for the 2, but I didnât think of that until about an hour later.
Another store in NY, this time at an in store price scanner. This store had no stock.
This store had 5 of these âConnect Starter Kitsâ Each package contains 2 complete kits, but they scanned for $134.97 each
Broom pole with both coarse and fine brooms
And this, only in NY.
Straight ahead, that is a 10 story Self storage facility. If I keep buying stuff, I may have to look into renting one of those units 
I need to go to Home Depot.
About 2 weeks ago, Sept 21, I posted that the Artic Cove 18V mister fans had hit the â2â price of $20.02
They went fast, never saw any others after the first few days. That is until today. The box was all beat up and it didnât include the battery or charger, but it did scan for a penny.
So all I got was the fan, but I already have plenty of batteries and chargers.
I also saw this USB or battery powered fan marked down to $4.96
I brought in a USB power bank to test one right in the store. It draws only 110mA, it would run for hours and hours off one of these.
Now that Apple has eliminated the headphone jack, Home Depot is clearing out the Ryobi âPhone Worksâ line. Most stores have all the accessories at 75% off. All of these plug into a smart phone, Apple or Android thru the headphone jack, and work in conjunction with the free apps.
They sell out fast, this store was almost stripped clean.
The padded carrying case is on clearance also. Has a padded interior with removable foam pieces to easily configure the space inside.
To me, the most useful tool is the inspection camera. I had been using an USB endoscope camera and a laptop. This is much more convenient, it uses your high resolution phone display.
I bought the Laser level and IR thermometer do-hickeys for $10 each yesterday, and returned them today. The laser level worked ok, although you really need a tripod to make sure the level is level itself. The IR thermometer wouldnât work at all. If you look up some reviews, including of the Android app itself, youâll see these things are a bit of a crapshoot, not very reliable.
I canât see the point of any of it other than the inspection camera. For instance, why need your phone just to get a temperature reading?
Granted, you can log results etc. On the other hand, check out the problems I had with a set of 3 IR thermometers I got a couple of years ago at COSTCO :confounded:
Checking the temperature of our refrigerator, Fahrenheit scale.
Donât need a phone, but $10 is a good deal for a thermometer⌠If it worked
phone?
I meant to grab one of these just to play with. Somehow I got distracted and walked out without one.
I couldnât tell if this supports TF cards or if it needs to be activated for the bluetooth mp3 player to work.
Didnât get a pic, but did see the Cat brand 1000 watt power inverter in the clearance rack. Marked at $78 from $122. Looks like the bod was 9/5 but they were not there last weekend.
There was also a Cat brand car battery charger, but couldnât find a label for it.
Going to keep a close eye on those!
I also saw a guy very fastidiously looking up barcodes on drill bits and comparing them to something on his phone. He was digging into the back and comparing them to the ones in the front. I was very tempted to walk by and whisper DchomakâŚ
Stopped by HD on my way to work. Was able to grab one of those green 80â extension cords for a penny and a a dewalt battery pack from a recycle bin! Guess Iâll have to stop by there on my way to work more often. !
!
I worked at HD for a while. Every manager I worked under was very proactive about clearing out the âpennyâ items. They came up on a report each day to be cleared out, and my managers would run the report a day early so there was virtually no chance of finding one unless it fell down in a crack somewhere. Even then the cashiers are told to not let the customer out the door with it if they can.
All that to say: Iâm jealous of you guys.
Your managers must run all the stores around me.
there are pixi LED ceiling panels on clearance in socal. 189 retail marked down to 48.03 for the 2x2â led panels. the colors are 4000k and 2700k. the commercial electric ones go for about $99 regular price.
This penny hunting is not that easy! I went yesterday to one of the HDs in town, one I have not pilfered yet. I found 3 pairs of Milwaukee pliers they were on the rack but there was a newer version of the same plier out. In theory they should have been a penny, when I walked up the the SCO and attempted to check out, they wouldnât ring up and it notified the associate. He was bewildered and wanted to know where I found them, so I showed him. I said since they wonât ring up does that mean they are free, jokingly. He had to call the tool manager and they wouldnât sell me the pliers and gave me another pair(the new model) which I declined.
Also every store I have went into the MET team is there walking around scanning stuff, I also tried checking clearance stock on the in store PCU and found very little. Either it has become increasingly difficult to find deals or this isnât a good time of the year for clearance, Iâm not sure.
I have a few items I am keeping an eye on to see what happens to them, we need some new patio furniture and they just went on clearance so I will keep an eye on them.
I have 5 HDs near me that are pretty busy stores so I wouldâve assumed there would be more deals to be found. Their clearance sections are not that impressive.
Dchomak must have some unique stores, or I am not very good at this and need a new hobby, lol.
Those pliers were probably too old to be a penny. A couple of months ago they would have been. You have the right idea I how itâs done.
BTW, last week I was in a store that just had the crew go through nd scanned the store that morning. I was still able to find 2 items at a penny. They were just too lazy to go get them to check
You are right though, it is harder right after they do the store. It is done about four times a year. Even so starting the next day more stuff is going to a penny, and so it goes.
I am traveling this week and I was in one store that had four LED under cabinet lights marked at $60.06 But when I brought them up to scan they were too old and came up as item not found. What a bummer. Had I been there the month before I would have scored
