Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Would it show that price if you scanned the barcode with the HD app, or do you have to use a store scanner?

:slight_smile:

Store scanner
Web sites and apps do not show the 6 or 3 prices.
And they don’t show the 4 or 2 prices

Thanks :+1:

My mother in-law bought me a “Home Depot” Lottery ticket.
They say I won $10, but I never saw any of it. :frowning:

Very interesting (never heard of home depot lottery), but without that $10 your forgoing 1,000 penny items :cry:

What kind of coin is that in the picture?

Bort, that is a Connecticut State Lottery ticket. It seems that they get a place like HD to give them some money to get their name on them.
Sad that the State has to resort to this kind of stuff.

I don’t know, I never saw that Quarter again either :smiley:

Actually, I have a better copy of that picture on my phone.
It’s one of these.

I just moved into a new house, been getting a few small things nothing worth posting. Inventory team just sweeped my stores and when they left, half the stores on clearance. So deals coming

i think i saw the inventory team in my store today also, about 4 or 5 folks with carts and scanners moving thru the aisles and putting stuff in their cart from time to time…

They had a scratch and dent husky rolling tool bench that someone sucker punched with a fork lift—they only wanted to come off 20%, so i passed.

my best deal so far was a $299. Ryobi 40V lawnmower that sat out in the garden area for 9 months, i asked about it and they let it go for $25.

WOW! That is a fantastic deal. What battery did it come with?

See, sometimes you just gotta ask for the deal

I got a deal on a 40V Ryobi blower a couple of weeks ago. Not as good as your deal though.
I was in the lawn tool section and spied a box for the blower in the over head with a paper taped to it saying “NO CHARGER”
That blower was originally $169 had been on clearance for $85 for a longtime. There were no others on display so I went up with the UPC code I carry around to check the price in that store. It came up at $85. So I went back and just happened to catch a manager with a couple of other employees as they were walking by. I showed him the box and they pulled it down.
I offered $42.50 without the charger (I have others)
So they scanned it and agreed to the 42.50, but I said wait, lets check to see what’s inside. So I opened it up in front of them and we saw that there was no battery either. To that the manager said “not a problem” and walked over to the display.
At that time I expected him to grab a battery off a demo, but instead he grabbed a new one still in the package.
Then he walked me over to the service desk and told them to “penny out” the battery and sell be the blower for $42.50!
Here is the receipt.
I ended up getting the battery for a penny, the hard way.

Wow, you get those penny deals coming and going—i’m afraid you’re gonna run out of pennies, maybe we should take up a collection for ya…

i just got the bare mower “as is”, no charger and no battery. But then i soon found a 40V weed whacker with 2.6 Ahr battery and charger on craigslist for $50.

Last month i was looking at my local HD and they had the OP4050 5 Ahr battery pack on the shelf in the blister package that was still labelled as OP4026 for $99. i didn’t check the bar code, just grabbed one and hit the checkout line—got home and peeled the cover off and sure enough it had the red LG 18650 HE2 2500 mAh cells. Works twice as long, but i don’t charge them till full—pull them off when the 4th led starts blinking.

Oh yeah i did get some nice dining room furniture for father’s day:

Whaaattttt?
Red
My favorite color of dining room furniture. :wink:

What alternate universe do you live in. In my universe that cabinet only comes in Black;

That’s a good price too, Black ones cost more. $398
AND they don’t have the chrome handle.

BTW, a tip for anybody getting push back from their wife on buying a tool cabinet.
Just remind them how impossible the (her) :stuck_out_tongue: kitchen would be with out the tool cabinets she has hung on the wall.
(Worked for me)

Today we leave for a short vacation in Ottawa Canada. Let’s see if I can find any bargains in a foreign country. I wonder if the self checkouts take American pennies. :

EDIT, 6:45PM ESDT

Turns out today is the 150th year anniversary for Canada and is a holiday. Home Depot’s are closed. Have to wait until tomorrow.

:+1:

I looked at that tool box, but I do not like the deep drawers on the upper tool box. Personal thing for me I know, but I like the deep drawers in the rolling cabinet.

In Ottawa, right across the steet from our hotel, is a home center chain called “Reno Depot” Sort of a French version of Home Depot.
Honest, these pictures are not ’Shopped :smiley:


First thing after breakfast I headed on over to see what that is all about. Once inside the store, I was lost. Same as Home Depot, only different. Different colors, different prices (the exchange rate), different language (French). I walked around for about 45 minutes and took some pictures.
Battery recycle bin.

All prices are in Canadian Dollars which at the present time are worth about 77 cents US.




Here is the only clearance rack I could find, nothing there for me.

The tool section, all of the major brands. DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Black & Decker, Stanley etc.

After I left the store, my mind blown and fully overloaded, I wondered if it was safe to drive to my next destination.
A real honest to goodness authentic Canadian Home Depot! Fortunately it was only 5 miles away.

Let’s see if I can spot any deals at the Gatineau Home Depot in Ottawa, Canada.
This looks familiar, but somehow the logo is a little different.
(Each letter is raised off the sign with White sides that give it a White drop shadow effect)

The battery recycle bin is located outside of the store, as you walk into the entrance.
And they accept alkalines, in the U.S. they don’t want them. More on that later. :wink:

I walked around for about 30 minutes. There was no self checkout, so there would be no way to check prices, or checkout with a penny item even if I found one. Also there were no clearly marked clearance endcaps. I did see lots of marked down prices in the isles, but they don’t use the “normal” clearance prices or stickers that I am used to.
I did find a number of items that I knew had already been pennied out in the U.S. but as to what their price was in Canada was unknown. Turned out none of them were at a penny. In fact, as others who live in Canada have stated, there are NO penny deals. The Canadian stores do not use the same clearance system as in the States.
Here is the 1 deal I did score though.
This flashlight, I spotted it in 2 places within the store. First here, at an endcap in the tool section.

and hanging on a pole in the front of the tool section right by the registers.

This is the 850 Lumen, triple emitter Defiant that I had been looking for. In an earlier post I described how I located what seemed to be an unopened forgotten case of them at a store in Connecticut when they were at the 75% off price of $3.32.
But a store employee and I could not locate them!
Here they were, priced at $12.88 Canadian, with a yellow sticker. The original U.S. price was $14.88, that I remembered, and if the Canadian price was $12.88 that meant it was a clearance price because with the exchange rate, the original HAD to be more than $14.88. Probably more than $20.
So with no price checker, I grabbed 1 and went over to the guy in appliances to scan it for price :wink: He didn’t have a hand scanner,but just then another guy who did walked by. I handed him the light with the price tag down on the UPC code up so he could scan it. When I handed it to him, he turned it over and saw the sticker. He said there it is, $12.88.
I told him, yeah I know, but would you scan it anyway. He did, looked and the screen and suddenly pulled the screen to his chest.
I asked him what it said. He then shook the scanner and scanned it again. $3.16, that’s a GOOD price, he said. Then he said, YOU KNEW.
So I took it from him and causually walked away while he immediately got on his phone. As soon as I was out of their sight I fast walked to the 6 others that were hanging in plain sight in the tool section and checked out. I brought those 7 out to the car and went back in for the other 5 that were sort of out of sight and safe for the time being in the endcap.
I had to use my VISA card to pay for them as Home Depot Canada has no way to process American HD cards!
I figure after Visa adjusts for the exchange rate, I picked these lights up for about $2.43 American.

As I mentioned previously, the recycle bins in Canada actually encourage people to discard their NiMH and Alkaline cells there. In the US, they forbid it.
When I peeked inside this one, this is what I saw.

Lots of bags of AA Cells, Energizer Industrial Alkaline. The bags that held them were the ones that HD supplies at the bin.
Because there were so many, and they looked as though they were new, I figured HD dumped them there.
So I grabbed and bag and tried a couple out in my SK68. Being on the road with no other way to test them, I then determined that they were in very good condition. So I went back and got them all.
That’s a lot of cells!

I’ll probably give them to my nephew for his kids. They use up alot of batteries.
