Iāve been busy moving into a new house. But I did find a nice fireproof safe at the 3 price. Normally theyāre over 400$ they have a new model out now. Also those Bosch laser measuring tools are a penny, found one mixed in with new stock GLMX 10 is the model
Found a few items at my local HD at the 3 price and the 2 price nothing too great. Marked down in November, they all scanned for the stickered price.
My local HD seems to be pretty picked over. All those bins of holiday items being marked down are long gone.
There is a nice tool belt that normally sells for about $100 that just hit an .03 price at the Harbison Blvd store in Columbia, SC. I bought one at $25.03 and left 2 on the shelf. Sorry for no pics. It has a thick brown leather and black nylon belt and pockets. It can carry a ton of stuff and looks like it will last. Best of luck to any that try to get one.
Can't find it on their website. It's a Husky 21 pocket belt with a full apron. Here is one on ebay (link in first pic). Second pic if found in an google query.
You guys think I have it easy. Take a look at this heart break!
So whatās the problem?
Take a look at the reverse side.
Had I been traveling in a far away land, I would have just gone ahead and paid for it. Once I got a receipt I would have asked (demanded) they remove the security tag.
BUT, this was my hometown HD. I donāt want to make enemies, Iām in that store almost every day :innocent:
I actually saw the tag for that deal, but the shelf was empty.
Actually, there are tons of stuff on clearance right now. After the lull we had, there is now a storm of good stuff!
AND, Spring Black Friday is coming up at the end of the week. Stuff is already being put on the floors.
I got a couple of peeks. How about a Ryobi 18V weed wacker, battery and charger for $49.00?
Same for an 18V Ryobi Blower, it also comes with battery and charger, $49.00
If the story on the Bosch GLM10X was a horror story, this next one is a fairy tale.
First a review.
On or around last Black Friday, HD came out once again with their small 10 inch tool bag. Initial price was $4.88, which isnāt bad.j A couple of years ago I caught them on clearance and bought quite a few and used them for Christmas stockings. Just put the gifts inside, zip it up and stick a bow on it. Done!
Well, this year when they came out I kept my eye on them, waiting for the clearance!
When they went to $3.70, I kept waitingā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
Then a few weeks ago I came across this empty shelf. :cry:
There, they had dropped down to $2.54, but they were all gone!
Thatās why, a couple of days later at another store when I saw this, I struck.
I carried out 8, then came back in for 10 more. When I returned a third time, they were all gone. Just like that!
So I got 18.
They next day I texted 3 friends asking them how many they wanted. The numbers came in, 4 then 10 and finally 4. That totals all 18, none for me!
In the other stores I had been in since, everyone was sold out.
And each time I was in that first store, the one with the empty shelf, I would always see that empty shelf and the sticker for $2.54
Then, just like in a fairy tale, a couple of days ago while I was in that same store, I saw this :) :)
So, the first thing I did was pull the sticker!
Hereās why.
That replaced sticker meant that this store still had stock If they were all sold out, the MET person would see that and not place the sticker. I removed the sticker because I didnāt want anybody else searching for those bags also.
I did the wise thing, I went over to flooring and asked that guy to check for stock. He looked it up on his scanner and told me there were 16, but they āhad no homeā
I knew that meant they could be anywhere. I already knew they were not on the floor somewhere so they had to be in an overhead. So things were ālooking upā
I finally found some, only 7, in the overhead in plumbing.
So, once I found them, I had the guy from electrical go up and pull them down for me.
Once I paid for them, and got the receipt, I went over to customer service and got refunded the difference on the 18 I bought for my friends.
The 7 I bought.
Now thatās an ideaā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Actually I bought 41. One friend took 12, another 10, another 4 leaving me with 15.
I put one set in the basement, 1 in the garage, 1 in the shed, 1 in my van and I spread the rest at some other properties.
Still leaving me a few for emergencies.
How can I bear to go on?
I know, find other penny deals.
Hereās one, 9 mini hanging magnetic lights! (the light sticks on the left are still $1.52, both have the same date)
Here is a peek at some of the stuff coming out this Friday for the āSpring Black Fridayā event.
Both tools come with battery and charger. A battery and charger is sold elsewhere in the store for $59.95!
LOL one of the ones I found had a security tag on it. I bought it at the SCO and walked over to another register and had the lady remove the tag for me. She knows who I am, I work in a hospital so I always have scrubs on every morning I go. She uses the hospital I work at and has had really good experiences there, so she has removed several tags for me and has never looked at a receipt.
They arenāt supposed to sell penny items, like DCH mentioned I was also in my āhome storeā I would rather no one know I even know about .1 deals.
Some stores wonāt allow you to purchase them either, management gets involved causing a ruckus.
Stopped into HD yesterday and found a great deal. In the isle they had Husky brand Tactical knee pads for $3.83 marked down from $14+
Very interesting because I was in the store Saturday morning and walked down that isle looking to see if they had any of the $4 tool bag with no success. The tool bags are directly opposite of the knee pads and they had 2 boxes of them both with bright yellow stickers. No way I could have missed it. I have yellow sticker radar these days.
One thing Iām noting with my local store is that they sometimes do not send items to the clearance isle and they will literally show up on the floor with a .02 or .03 price out of the blue. My gut tells me that they were up in the overhead and an employee discovered them. Iām going to keep an eye on them because they may not sell out before the next price reduction.
On the other hand my clearance rack has grown stagnant. They really stacked it about a month ago, but nothing is moving, selling, or prices changing.
There are some really old items in there from 2016 that have not even come close to reaching the .02 or .03 price. So i think they are leaving clearance items on the floor because there just isnāt room in the clearance area.
Also picked up a milwaukee 16ft tape measure for $6. Once again in the isle and not the clearance area. I think they have been $6 since xmas. I was hoping it would ring up lower but it did not. It looks like they have not been selling because they have been at that price for a while. Probably the best $6 tape measure you will ever getā¦ but Iād rather it be the best .01 tape measure I ever bought. Still batting .000 though on penny deals.
I managed to score ten of the 10 inch Husky tool bags for $1.32 yesterday. I went to my work store and struck out, but had them check stock. They found 19 at another store 15 minutes away, so I took a chance and scooted on my lunch. Found them in the overhead and had an employee pull them down for me. Iām not sure what Iām going to use these for, but I almost want to go back and get the rest.
Iād post a pic of my receipt, but posting pictures seems to be challenging for me.
I feel your pain, since we both shop at the same exact store. I never notice any deals like whatās posted in the thread. I think our store is an exception to the rule.
