Wow!
Havenāt actually tried these yet. I think I need to so a simple test. Ryobi vs HDX vs Milwaukee. I will put them thru their paces, I will be the Drill Sergeant!
So how much time after something goes to a 75% off, ā3ā price, does it drop to a penny? About a month?
Wow! Those pricesā¦ especially the tool bag! I want one! :heart_eyes: I could really use a tool bagā¦
Also, I found two good priced items on clearance. One was a pack of four everready economy (I think it was) flashlights, two smaller ones and two bigger ones, for $4, with cells included. Thatās $1 per torch with the cells included.
Second one was a pack of 10 Husky T allen keys for $5, so thatās 50Ā¢ per tool.
I think it was this one but it was $5 on clearance in store.

Usually 3 weeks or so but there is no definite time. All I can say is those 11/5/2015 dates are due at any time.
An example of one that breaks the mode is this one I came across in the same store. Date on the tag is 04/28/2014! Yet it scanned for $3.83 :_(
Yeah those 4 flashlights include batteries and the cells alone are worth the $4 and those allen keys are also a good deal.
Tool bags are goodā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
I used one of them to make an ethernet cord making kit. Ethernet tool with wire and boots. I still need to locate the plugs on sale somewhere.
I have 5 of those bulbs in cool white, nothing special
Ahhh, but at a penny they WOULD be special to me 
LOL!
Being a minimalist i strive for fewer possessions, but i still think about the $50 clearance 23.6in IPS monitor i should have bought
I know the feeling - that sort of missed deal can really get under the skin and stick with you sometimes.

I can't find any rhyme or reason to the timing. Most of the time, it has to be about 3 months before it goes to a penny. I'm thinking the individual store can over ride the price change if they so desire.
Usually about 3 months from the DOB on the yellow tag. Also about 3 weeks from the first appearance of the ā3ā price
Then again sometimes this happens. This bag of 25 bungee cords with 4 ratcheting tie downs started at 19.88. Then it went to $10, thatās when I posted it after having bought 1. Then they went to $7 and I bought 2 more. Ironically yesterday I used them all up securing stuff in my van getting ready for a trip. This morning I went to HD and ran into this!
There were 2, I am now ābungee richā
For some reason these never saw a ā6ā price nor a ā3ā price
Update! The $15 jigsaw I mentioned is now on āClearanceā for $13.50. Which is nice but does that mean that this product will soon not be for sale anymore? 
I hope not, or it would be really annoying because itās out of stock!
Speaking of which, all of the cheapest tools are out of stock! 
To get in on this deal ya gotta be quick.
Right now I am in Ohio helping a friend remodel his bathroom. Of course we have to visit his HD every day. This 18V hedge trimmer has been reduced from $99 to 75.06 for a couple of months now, so I figured it was due for a ā3ā price for a reduction of $75% any day now. I have been keeping my eye on them and today they turned. $25.03 and includes battery and charger.
have you ever seen anything this big go down to 1 cent?
Stopped at my HD on the way to work today. Didnāt seem to have any. Only the newer 22ā model and the 40v Model were out. Thanks for the alert anyway dchomak. You the man!
^
Yes I have.
Last year while traveling through NY I found an 18V Ryobi hard surface blower for a penny. It is in the same line of tools as the hedge trimmer and also came with a battery and charger. Original price was $119
6 weeks later I found another at the SAME store!
Picture of when they were at $75.06
That is amazing! We never get hose in Canada, different system i suppose, i got this for $23 on clearance and it was an amazing deal, never went lower, disappeared from the system a few weeks later.

Will be checking this today at my local HD, maybe even the other one next town overā¦ I have a few of the Ryobi ONE+ 18v tools, so even just for the extra battery and charger, this is worth the cost.
My wife and I are on 2 day trip through Ohio. Sheās driving and I am quietly browsing BLF. The radio is not playing and she suddenly turned to me and exclaimed that the Home Depot back in Connecticut was just evacuated due to a gas leak.
I was incredulous and asked hOW do you know THAT?
(She got a Channel 3 news alert on her Apple Watch) 
On this day trip she allowed me to stop and check out a HD that we passed and there were no clearance hedge trimmers on the floor, just the newer model. I did check the overheads and found 3 of the model on clearance and pulled one down. Even though there were no stickers it scanned for 25.03. I grabbed 2, the third box was open.
ImA4, if itās not too much trouble you could check your overhead shelves for unmarked stock.

Hey dchomak. Hope your trip is going well. I stopped at a HD on the way home from work yesterday and searched the upper shelves as requested. Could not find anything, but was really surprised by the amount of āstuffā that was up there. Looking around the store, I saw quite a few items that seemed to be in areas unrelated to the product. So there could be some of those hedge trimmers somewhere in the store.
Thanks of the tip. Going forward, Iām going to start looking up!
I forgot to tell this; You know those Philips basic bulb that sold for $4.97 per 2-pack ($2.48 per lamp)? Well recently I saw those lamps on sale for $3.00 per 2-pack ($1.50 per lamp). Thatās a very good price! Not as good as those TCP lamps that I got for $1.28 each I think it was, but itās close.
Soon LED retrofit lamps (ābulbsā) will be super cheap and disposable like incandescents, and be 25Ā¢ each or so.
CFLs are already there, and have been for a little while now.
Also hereās another interesting thing. At Home Depot I saw this poster/advertisement thing that said something like Free Batteries; Free Parts; Free Service; for life, for RDIGID toolsā¦ apparently RIDGID has a āLifetime Service Agreementā where, if you register your tool within 90 days of purchase, you will get free parts (including replacement batteries) and free service for life (until you, or whoever purchased the tool, dies). RIDGID Powertools :: About LSA
If this actually works then this must be awesome! One of the problems with cordless drills is that when the battery reaches end of life and you need a new one, replacement batteries are so expensive that a new tool with battery included is not much more. With this agreement, you can send in your tool and they should give you a new battery for free! Wow
Sounds too good to be trueā¦ is it? Anyone had any experience with this thing?
