^Speaking of that,
Today I was in a HD and came across this display of LED lights.
These are newer “high end” CREE’s that have high CRI. They sell at a premium relative to today’s prices and were about $20 each.
You can recognize them by the rainbow of colors on the package.
On clearance and marked down 75% to the “2” price of $5.02. Next step is to pull them and send them out to the dumpster.
Or so they say
What I really think is that they are going back to CREE and CREE is unloading them into the “odd lot” market.
A couple of days earler, I was in an Ocean State Job Lot and came across these.
Same high CRI bulb for only 99 cents, AND if you buy 12 you get a $12 gift card to the store at the register!
Net price of zero.
OSJL has been off loading CREE and other manufacturers bulbs now for over a year. Same deal on all, 99 cents per bulb with a full refund at the register in the form of a CRAZY DEAL gift card.
How can resist not buying all I can?
That does make a lot of sense, i somewhat recently found out HD in Canada (at least in my province) often sends clearance stuff to the Restore, the second hand charity shop for Habitat for Humanity
Well I was in the same Home Depot this morning. There were about 50 MET people crawling all over the store, scanning, organizing etc. I went over to the clearance shelves in the back of the store and all these LED’s lights scanned at a penny!
I was overwhelmed! What to do? So many!
So I did nothing, I walked out of the store disgusted :confounded:
Well I wasn’t quite right. Not ALL items were a penny, just 3/4’s of them!
Yesterday morning compared to this morning, after the MET team (locusts) descended onto the display.
Connecticut much better luck then central New Jersey, where there is never and I mean never anything remotely good or interesting on clearance in about 6 HD radius from me.
That may be true, I don’t know. But last year as we traveled through NJ my wife allowed me to stop along the way in a few stores. Found penny stuff in all of them.
Here is a receipt with the store address not blocked out on a couple of Bosch “Laser Measurers” In the post above I had ghosted out the store address.
Found a bunch of stuff in the Worlds largest HD in Union, NJ too
Yeah just gotta be in the right location, Neptune and Union are about 1 hour each way from where I am so it’s tough to rationalize the drive not knowing if you will find something or come up empty.
I visited the HD in Chesterfield, MO, this morning and saw a cart full of various 1-cent LED bulbs, but I learned they were not for sale and were to be donated, probably to Habitat for Humanity.
I just came from my local Home Depot and saw these. 1/2 inch impact driver, battery and charger for $50!
There were 9 and as I was looking at them another guy walked up from the other side of the table.
Then I noticed that it included a 4Ah battery! When I told him that and showed him that the battery goes for $79 by inself, he grabbed 2.
So not to be out done, I grabbed 3 :laughing:
After off loading into my car I went back in. When I saw that the tool only package goes for $119.00, I bought 2 more. :sunglasses:
Then I went back in again, this all took about 10 minutes, and the last two were still there.
So I said what the heck, I’ll grab those too. :person_facepalming:
ugh, wow I need a new battery and charger for my older nicad ryoibi, this would be perfect if it even existed near me at that price, I was looking at a battery/charger set up for $60, I need to move to CT lol.
