Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Don’t they give you a hard time about fishing around in these recycle bin? Have they ever confronted you?

Our son wanted to look at the new computer at Best Buy. They have these bins in the lobby for recycling various things and one was even overstuffed with chargers. I was tempted to have a look but my wife though it was not a good idea since they watch people like a hawk. She’s probably right.

Wow! The detours to the HD's made up for the gas you used.

Great stuff dchomak. Your theories have been working down here in South Carolina. Once in the while, I pick up something for a penny. The only difference appears to be that items take much more time before they start the downward markdown spiral. They also seem to be better about getting stuff off the shelves down here.

Heads up. These dropped to $5.03 in my store. I bought the two they had left at that price as I figured they would be long gone before the price hit $0.01.

Don’t worry, I didn’t miss out. Later in that same post I mentioned I followed up and got them also for $5.03. Took all 7 that store had left :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Isn’t that a GREAT price for these? You’ve gotta be real happy with these. I am.

I missed the followup as I was reading your post on my phone as I was walking around the store.

And yes I’m ecstatic. I want to go hit up another location about 10 mins away and see if I can grab a couple more.

I hit two home depots today for things i needed on clearance, and tried to replicate your success, no dice at all, nothing in the home depot clearance or otherwise rang up below the price on the tags or shelves
If you ever come to Canada i would be curious if you can replicate your success.

Was at a different HD today looking for more of those power strips and I came across this buried on an end cap at the back of the store. It was $4.95 so I grabbed one.

What interested me was that it said this on the package…

Could it be? Lets find out…

Making Progress…

It looks like it’s the right size…

Success!

And to think it’s an LG 18650 for $4.95. But wait, it’s only 1300mAh. Probably going to leave this in the mister and use it this summer or give it away.

I never noticed those before. I would bet that should be a 20-25 dollar item. I’m guessing there were no other power strips? Did your store have them displayed at $5.03 or were they still displayed at a higher price?

I just noticed that in post #3 of this thread I had found the Ryobi Trimmer for the clearanced price of $58.06, ends with a “6”

Then in post #12, 10 days later, I bought another one at a further reduced reduced price of $38.03, ends with a “3”.

I wasn’t making that “6” and “3” connection back then.

I hit two other HD’s in the area but found no other power strips left. They were marked at $5.03 at the store I bought mine at.

I have my eye on a table lamp at my local HD that is priced at $49.06 but the last time I scanned it, it was at $13.03…

Also there are some USB power packs that look like they are due to go to a penny in a couple weeks.

Sounds like you’re on your way……….

Would this be the power bank? :slight_smile: dated 06/16/14

Here are pics of some other stuff set to go to a penny ANY DAY NOW

Haha that’s the one.

And I’ve scanned all of those items in the last week

dchomak's disciples ;)

There are worse things to be…

Leatherman Sidekicks just went to $18 at Home Depot. You can order online or go to the store. I just picked up five in store, so this is confirmed.

Those LED mini work lights that I bought 6 days ago at $1.52 now ring up for a penny. :slight_smile:
All the stores I visited on my Trek had plenty, my hometown Depot only had 1. :frowning:

I went in to HD to pick up some Cree 60w bulbs as a gift for a friend who has a hodgepodge of CFLs that must start around 100 lumens before working their way up to 700 after a good 3 minutes.

They have the 60w 93 CRI bulbs on clearance for $7.50, more than 1/2 off. Scanning the barcode or entering 1000022805 brings up a Kohler toilet tank, but they are these bulbs just not in the 6 pack - http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cree-TW-Series-60W-Equivalent-Soft-White-2700K-A19-Dimmable-LED-Light-Bulb-6-Pack-BA19-08027OMN-12DE26-1U100/204609903

I bought 6 of them but might go get the rest. I personally haven't used these before, and they do consume a little more power, but 93 CRI is nice.

That is nice.
I just noticed the other day these lights in a corner of the store at $15.00, marked down from $15.97. $7.50 is a price worth considering though. I will definitely check my store out again.

When you see this kind of crazy stuff in the app it can mean that these could go for even less in the future, they are no longer in the system. :wink:
Keep watching these in any store you’re in until they are gone.

I stopped in several HD’s
This one had the “screw in” LED light fixtures that I mentioned earlier at $19.96 reduced to $8.96! That’s as cheap as just the bulb. These have been reduced to 12.96 in Connecticut.

They really are a great idea. This “bulb-fixture” screws into a common porcelain fixture and ends up flush with the ceiling so it ends up looking like an installed light fixture. I bought 7. I had already bought 3 more in CT at 12.96 as I thought THAT was a good deal. Now I can return those 3 and get my $39 back. :slight_smile:




Done!

Here is what is inside

But the real deal at this store was this

Notice the price, $75.06. Now this is not Connecticut or New York or PA or Ohio, all states that I have scored penny deals before. This is a new State, Massachusetts. The date on the box is 06/02/14, and the price ends with a “6”. Prior to this I had seen this Little Dog Remote Trainer marked at $25.03 so I was certain this would ring up at a penny. This store in MA has price checkers throughout the store, really makes it easy to check prices. This price check station was right next to the display I found this at.

But there is going to be a problem with this. It has an anti-theft device strapped to it, so how do I deal with this?

  1. I could just pass over it and not bother.
  2. I could go up to the self help checkout girl and tell her I plan to buy this and would you FIRST remove the anti-theft device?
  3. Or do the smart thing, FIRST go through the self checkout, buy and PAY for it, then before leaving the store ask the self checkout girl to remove it.

So that’s what I did.

The checkout girl (woman) looked at my receipt and said it was wrong, so she scanned it again. Then she looked up the SKU and got some crazy item as cone described above. Then she said that HD does NOT sell stuff for a penny. I pointed to my receipt and told her yes they do, there’s the proof. Then she called over the head cashier. She told me the same things, to which I countered with rational answers. Then she said, oh I know why this was on clearance, someone brought it back and it is broken. I was ready for that one! I told her, maybe so, but I know HD has a liberal return policy and if it is you can be sure I will return it and get my money back. Then I got a little more firm and told her that this item in MINE, I paid for it and I have the receipt, would you just remove the anti-theft device so I can leave.
At that point she called the manager on her phone, explained the whole situation again to him and I heard her repeat $10. At that point I said NO, let me talk to him. She gave me the phone and I told the manager that it was MINE, I paid for it and have the receipt, what do you plan on doing, TAKE it from me? To that he said OK. I gave the phone back to the head cashier and she spoke to him for a very short time and hung up. I parted on friendly terms, but the original self checkout girl was not at all happy with me.


dchomak, you are my hero!

I only wish I could have such talent out here on the left coast…
