When ImA4Wheelr started this Home Depot thread there was an inventory checker that made life easy. It is no longer available, I just found these 2 links, maybe they will be able to help us out.
Is there a comprehensive guide on how to read these prices and how much they will ring out to at the check out? I’ve read a few things online, but nothing is super clear as to how to tell. I went to my local HD today and took these pictures: http://imgur.com/a/Ac9nS many of them are marked in 2015. How does one know if they will ring up even lower than the marked price? Thanks!
Those Malibu items that have prices that end with a “3” will probably ring up at the self checkout for a penny.
I am posting your pic here for you
Malibu went bankrupt and all their stock has been on clearance. Just recently all Malibu stock has been taken off the shelves in the stores I have been to. Just yesterday I was able to find 1 Malibu item and it did ring up for a penny.
The other items that you presented that have prices that do not end in “3” are probably going to ring up for the sticker price.
You should go back and try. Be discrete.
This is the only Malibu product I could find, and it rang up a penny.
Some times HD makes it too easy. I found these 2 items marked as they are on a clearance shelf.

Nice follow up there for deathless. At my HD’s, 12/7/15 is still too recent to go to a penny. At least early last week it was. Best wishes deathless. Please report back if you try to buy the items. I think the reason you cann’t find a clear guidance is that there is no definitive rules that work for all stores and situations.
dchomak,
Thanks for that inventory links. Added a reference to them in the OP.
Tarver,
No you have to go to a Factory Authorised Service Center, it’s usually a service center for other Tools like So many out there. It’s no big deal at all really, but if you take in your Batteries and a Charger and they exchange them for New one’s, You Must go online to your Ridgid account (or Call) and give them the Model and Serial Number on each New Piece you were given as a replacement for the Old Part that you turned in! Your online Tool profile Must have the Old Model and Serial Numbers replaced with the Numbers on the New Parts you were given in order for the Lifetime Warranty to cover the New Tools that you Now have… If you don’t go online and remove the old items that you turned in for New item’s, you will have trouble when you try to trade them in for the Lifetime Warranty the. Next Time you want to turn them in for a replacement.
If there is Not an Authorized Service Center in your City, I would Hope that Home Depot would set up a service center for the tools inside their store? If they didn’t why would anyone buy one of their Tools?
I have to go online NoW and change 2 Batteries and a Charger that I exchanged…
It does take soMe work keeping them up too Date, when you exchange them. But it’s worth it to me…
I can’t find a swap center in metro Atlanta!!
Gota be one here !!
Heyy I saw that malibu tree mount adapter thingy at clearance too! Didnt know it was a penny, but I dont care because that thing looks useless to me 
Hey deathless you found some of the discounted fluorescent fixtures I found!
If anyone else reading this needs some really cheap fluorescent fixtures, Home Depot is discounting most or all fluorescent fixtures! (hehe fluorescent is already obsolete )

poiiy, Staples has the 4’ twin pack florescent bulbs for ya. Only $1 on clearance 
You’re right, everybody is bailing on the florescents.
And that is very good because fluorescents are still good because they are almost as efficient as LED lighting. So if you need lots of lumens without lots of heat and negative dollars, fluorescents are a good choice!
Speaking of Florescent lights, check out this price! BTW, this is NOT Home Depot.
The light fixture, takes 2 - 36” florescent bulbs.
The price: $6 per carton of 4! ($1.50 per light fixture) Sold only in cases of 4
Stock on the floor, there are more available.
The light fixture I DID buy at Home Depot 13 years ago. Cost me $100 :SICK:
Yep, florescents are on the way out.
Unbelievable!!
But true
Like, 15 years ago a Powerbook was one or two thousand dollars… now they’re worthless and you can get them almost for free.
Which is good. 
You know, one man’s trash is another’s treasure; When new things come out, old things become unwanted so people toss them out, even though they are still good, so that’s where you go for your treasure. 
Yesterday I had to go out and do a return at Costco so I went to a different one just because there would be a different Home Depot right next to it. I found another Leatherman Skeletool on the clearance rack (middle of pic on right side of rack)
The package had been resealed and had a sticker for the original store price of 29.88. It scanned for $7.52
I also found another of the 40 piece Dewalt bits and drills buried in a stack of other Dewalt bits. Scanned for 3.82.
I went to the service desk to see which stores had the Skeletools. They looked it up and said none in the immediate area but they are available online.
It seems that the in store price of $29.88 was cheaper than the online price of $41.03
Then I came across this table up front. On the left is a couple of the Maglite Pro sets that I have been watching since Christmas. The sign says 50% off the clearance price which was $20
The original price for the 2 was $24.98. That was a good deal as is because elsewhere in the store just the AA version light is $26.00
But the AA version and the AAA version for $10 is fantastic. There were only 2 and i grabbed them both.
(other stores still have the pair for $20, i already checked) Something to keep an eye out for.
I also saw poiiy’s mouse traps for 52 cents :SICK:
This is a tire gauge that I actually had already bought at $2.53 at another store. When I got it home I found out that it includes a flashlight and a light up front to help finding the valve stem in the dark. This store didn’t have them at the clearance price of 2.53 but rather 50% off $5.88. Close enough, so I bought another.
One last deal, this set of 4 pliers. It was the last one and had I been 5 minutes later there may have been none.
8” tools, the adjustable wrench opens to 1 1/2 inches.
All of that was yesterday, today I was at my local store and as I walked by the flashlight section I overheard a guy asking about a particular light. He wasn’t able to describe to the HD employee what he was looking for, but I knew. He was looking for the Defiant Armour Max 3D. My store had 2 but they were gone. I showed the guy the picture I had on my phone and he concurred, that is the ONE he is looking for. By now the employee was involved and I’m sure he was surprised at the zeal of the customer and myself over flashlights
Anyway, the customer asked me how far it “threw” and I said I don’t know but I can zoom in on the pic and see. The HD employee asked if I could zoom in on the SKU # and he would check for stock. I humored him as I KNEW the 2 on display were already gone. I gave him #852-955. He looked up and said “We have lots of those, they’re in the overhead” Next thing I know he is getting the rolling ladder and climbing up above. He found 3 full cases of them! The customer was ecstatic that he found what he came in for. I was ecstatic to know that this store had 3 full cases of a light that will likely see further price decreases. Unless they are brought down onto the floor* they will not sell.* Yummy.
Original price was $29.95 and the current clearance price is $15.00.
I shall be watching and waiting
#852-955
3 full cases in the overhead
Home Depot water bags now 1¢!!!
Today we went to Home Depot and got more of the cups, and while I was there I saw the water bags that i was interested in, in the bottom. They were previously discounted to $2. I got one to check the price, and it appeared as a penny!!
Iconic photo, hope you don’t mind if i add it to my signature assuming SB doesn’t make it the official photo of BLF?
I found a lot of the 3D Armor Max (both old & new packaging) and the Energizer lights, but not much else. Well I did get some Husky 15’ long 16/3 extension cords for $3.33ea and an AC USB charger plug rated 2.1A for $3.98.

Mouse traps work
I’m surprised for two reasons, i had some of those cheese pedal traps and they were useless (different brand), and your mouse does not appear to be restrained at all, how is it held?
It seems the trap flipped over and we’re looking at the bottom. The mouse is pinched by the corner of the trap.
