Home Depot Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

Just left my local home depot. Lots of “6” deals, some “3”, and a bunch of oddball markdowns (like 50% off). Picked up a black light bulb (A19 incand.) sticker priced at $1.03 with a D.O.B. of 2/09/2016 and it rang up $1.03! Saw tons of Rust Oleum special concrete paint gallons marked down to $13.03 (reg. over $50).

Is this the bulb? I started to grab them all until I noticed the were incans. Notice these are $1.23 here, so quit your complaining :wink:

Boy, an LED black light would be sweet.
I would settle for a yellow LED bug light even, I have never seen one.

Here are some other deals I came across.

Compare that to just a regular 100W version of that same bulb

And just for you Garry, this was at Lowes (I know this is an HD thread)

This next deal is a “4” price. A “4” price goes to a “2” at about half the “4” price in about a week. So this could go to about 3.72

Another “4” price

Nope, my bulb has a small box just barely big enough for the bulb. It is a Philips. Think the box was black.

I was watching both bulbs here and both just disappeared one day from the website and the stores, at full price :frowning:

I grabbed 4 of those mini mag 2-packs at a HD in southern Ohio. They were still marked at the $19.9x price. They had TONS left in the display.

You only grabbed 4, so I am assuming there weren’t a penny. Were they $6.33?

That would be correct. $6.33

so at the self checkout i am nervously scanning my second armormax 3D at a penny, when the home depot employee sounded like she said something close to “that doesn’t seem right” and went over to find a supervisor. she comes back to me, and i realize she was talking about my armormax! she says “you can’t buy that” and my heart sinks, and she continues “just take them for free” free!! must have been a noob and probably didn’t find the supervisor. i walked out with 5 - all that they had.

for anyone close by staten island, i saw two of the locations still had stashes of these when i was there last week. so go get them, before i add to my armormax 3D penny collection :slight_smile:

FREE!!!
First the Maglites for a penny and now this? AMAZING, Who are you? :smiley:

Getting stopped and then getting it for free has happened to me and some others here before. Never with flashlights though.
A theory I have other than a noob is that they decided to protect the person responsible for pulling those flashlights from the shelves. They were probably already removed from inventory and if they are not rung up for a penny, nobody would know that they were missed and not pulled. Just another theory.

If you had broken into a sprint before with the Maglites, you are flying high now!

BTW, there IS a downside to getting them for free, you don’t get a receipt as proof to your score. :partying_face:

Keep an eye on those if you can. Most of the stuff I find for a penny are items that are missed when reducing the price from the “6” price to the “3”. They sit on the shelf not selling because no one knows they are 75% off. If they miss to markdown to the “3” price, there is a chance they will also be missed when they go to a penny… There could very well be stock when they go, and you should try to be there when they do. Cut a UPC code off one you have and carry it with you so that you can check price easily from time to time. :wink:

haha - i had also taken an ecosmart gu10 as a safety so that any employee glancing at my purchase would see a total more than a few pennies… but guess that didn’t work and now i have a receipt only showing that purchase.

all of my penny hauls have been because of you and this thread. i have been thinking how i can also post good new deals for this thread - but all my home depots have very messy clearance sections (and some don’t have any) with generally most things not marked properly. do you just happen to run across many home depots with great clearance sections? or do you have other methods?

Wish I could. I’m in Ohio visiting family and will be back in TN tomorrow where I don’t find many deals anymore.

I got 2 of these today at 2.53 - thanks to you, otherwise would have never known. nowhere were the prices marked - they were just lying with all the other chargers in the regular location (not the clearance section) and had no price stickers.

Find 2 more, and an 8 pack of AAA rechargeables on clearance and you will be all set!

The cells have gone on clearance before, this shot was from LAST YEAR :smiley:


These really ring up for $8.83, but this store still have them marked at $30. That’s one way that items make it to a penny.

Daylights have already reached $4.03, now the warm whites are down to $7.50. These bulbs can be controlled over the internet.

how did you know that though? is it because you have seen it properly marked at another location? if only i were lucky to have at least one home depot location that marked their clearance section well. but i have this forum :slight_smile:

RS, see my post #1364

I try to remember all that I see in the different HD’s that I am in.
