Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

but if we are overrun by zombies then home depot might experience 100% inflation :smiley:

Hey! quit trying to raise the wages and cut the working hours of pathetic lazy poor people. And don’t you dare suggest cutting the work week back to 7 days a week or cutting the whips down to cats ’o eight tails. J)

Man, dchomak, you're on a tear. Congrats on all those scores. Just crazy.

EDIT:

Nice score on the below flashlight. Found them in a clearance bin but they ran up $16 at the Lexington, SC store.

That lighting effect looks real nice.

Here is an example of the price progression,
Yesterday I was in my local HD and once again saw this display of mechanical timers. I am not interested in the mechanical ones as I already pigged out on the digital ones listed earlier in this thread. These mechanical timers have been on clearance with a number that ends with “3” for just about the right amount time. I suspected they were ready to go to the here after, so I snapped this shot. There were cases of them, and they were not selling.

Notice the price progression, from 7.97 to 4.97 to 3.86, (ends with a “6”) to 1.33 (ends with a “3”)

Then one day later, today, I went by to check, just to see what was going on and I came across this!

Here is another example of something that was on clearance with a price that ended with “.00” and was changed to a price that ends with a “6” Only 4 cents cheaper, but I think it means it will be further reduced to a number that ends with “3” if it doesn’t sell.

Notice the original price of 24.97 reduced to 9.00.

I brought it up just to see what it would scan at.

It happens that it is missing a tap, so I wouldn’t be interested. Well maybe if it went to 3.83.
DEFINITELY if it went to a penny. :slight_smile:

I swung by my HD tonight just to walk around dchomak style looking for possible penny items or items to keep an eye out for and I saw many with weird prices (i.e. not a "3" or "6", but a "4"). Found nothing that interested me though. I can post picks tomorrow or so (my photos won't show until tomorrow anyway).

Edit-BTW- many items scanned in the app at their full regular price.

5 c defiant light (one mode, good length for adjusting attitudes) http://www.homedepot.com/p/Defiant-5C-500-Lumen-Alkaline-Flashlight-809-3751-D/203838454?keyword=5c+defiant on at the Campbell CA store at $5.66! Woot!

Haven’t taken it apart yet to see what the pill is like, but 6 bucks after tax? No-brainer.

This time for a penny :slight_smile:

Cheapest I was ever to find was $12!, was it marked 5.66 or did you scan it?

It was marked $5.66… they had them stacked at every checkout, so you knew they were serious.

And I’m super-jealous about your worklight finds — I’ve been looking and failing everywhere local.

ruffles have you tried the Home Depot in SJ at 'The Plant'?.

So here are the pics of "closeout" or at least "reduced priced" items that I found at two different Home Depots over the last couple days while I was dchomak'ing through the store.

I expect these will be clearanced soon. The blue packaging on the right just seems like a new package, not any change in specs. Price still ends in a "7" though. Perhaps it will go to a "6" soon?

Perhaps these will go to a penny soon? On the app, it scans up full original price.

Another "3" price; pretty good discount already. May not stick around for a penny. I have no use for the above or below items though. App scans it at full original price.

2nd Store (Bucket's neck of the woods). Pretty good discount with a "3".

Really nice price on these $36/$28 Hart framing hammers! However, the price ends in a "2"! What is the significance of a "2"? Think at the first store that I saw some closeout prices ending in a "4" as well but apparently didn't get any pics.

Ah, here's an item I saw with a "4" price. What's this mean? I've been thinking to get one of these too! I passed this one up. I will recheck on it at the first store.

No more of the clearanced LED bulbs :( .

Here's some interesting reading on pricing secret codes.

Thanks for the report Garry. That article is interesting. I need to make a credit card sized cheat sheet for the various stores.

Those hammers look real nice. Curved wooden handles rock when done right.

These gloves on clearance ending with a “2” also eventually rang up at a penny. IMA4 got some and I got some. So the rules are not hard and fast. From that PDF file you linked to, It confirmed what a manager told me. Ends with a “6” for (6 weeks?) then on to “3” for (3 weeks?) then out the door into the trash. Look for the progression and keep track. Maybe get lucky and catch them on the shelves at .01

All the Christmas displays were out today, when I went to home depot. The lights, the knives, the tools, etc. A Coast zoomie that is polymer, not aluminum. Two of the big defiant lights, 3D and 4D, both have triple leds in them. Deep reflectors, might be great for 3 XM-L2. Also the 50 led 4xAA light and the normal 3xAAA lights, two to a package. Some coast knives, a lot of tools. I could have bought a lot, but with no money, all I did was look, LOL.

Hey Justin, we can look at all the stuff at Lowe’s together and splurge on hot dogs when we leave. (lunch money is all that’s left anyway)

Assuming other Lowe’s stores have the hot dog cart at the exit door. That smell of grilled onions gets me….

Man, you just got me real hungry.

Both Lowe’s and Home Depot here, dropped their hot dog stands. I imagine it was due to health reasons, but I’m not sure. I miss that smell when I go to there. Always loved the smell of those dogs, when I went in or came out.

Cool. Hope you pick one and do one of your great break down threads. They were still not out here at a nearby HD yesterday.

3D and 4D triples? That just screams “OL Mod me!” if there was ever a light to say that.

OL. Would you have a rough idea on what size reflectors were in the triples? For example an individual reflector the size of a P60 or C8? Thanks.
