Here are some random discounts I came across that break the usual mold.
48” replace LED tubes for existing florescent fixtures. $5.03 each
Here is a 2C cell MagLite that puts out a REAL 490 Lumen. It looks to me like it has an XM-L2 in it. I don’t know how they can drive it to 490 Lumen with 3V or less
I thought I had shot a pic of the D cell version. It was around 600 Lumen.
Here is why I can’t stop buying the bit sets. The holder with bits can be bought for less than the empty holder!
These have been in the first stage of the markdown at $15.00. Glad to see they are on their way down to the “6” and then possibly the “3”
I am especially proud of this find. The display says $3.88 (much cheaper than the autoparts stores or WalMart)
but they scan for $1.88
How did I know???
They came out at Black Friday at $1.88 and were available thru Christmas, but I was sleeping. To much other stuff and they sold out. For some reason, this store must have just pulled this display off the overhead and they rang up at the BF price. 
I missed this deal, 10 cents on the dollar.
Of this bit set there were 2, I bought 1. Like I said………
Another odd one. Tag says $16.00, it scans for $14.00. One to keep an eye on.
I thought for sure I found a penny deal here. Notice way in the back the tool with the Black and Red handle. Not just Red.
I was hoping the Black and Red handle was an older model that would ring up for a penny, but they each have the SAME UPC code. :cry:
Good find. See, it can be done.
I see you got that in New Jersey. I need to start looking out for those.
C’Mon, a debit card? 
Next time use a penny, will ya? 
would be awesome if you can find a PEX crimp tool for a cent.
hey I think I saw that.
I admit it, I was wholly unprepared to actually find it. I have been stalking this thread for a while now, finally got around to actually getting out in the field. :innocent:
are all the dewalt sets marked down? i think i have seen the 30, 45, and 32 bit sets around but didn’t think they were down to a penny…
The best deal on cfl I found were ge 13w (60w equivalent) $9.99 for a 10 pack at Marc’s. In a light I kept on 24/7/365 it lasted over two years. Still using bulbs purchased ten years ago throughout the house. Even with a computer with a 1000w power supply (built with capacity for 8 drives and 3 video cards) constantly running the electric bill is never over $40 - last month was less than $30.
That’s nothing; it is common to find CFLs for 50¢, 20¢, 10¢, or 0¢.
Time to bring this thread back to life from the depths of page 9. I picked up two of the 800 Lumen Husky LED Work Lights over lunch today for a penny a piece! Can’t post a pic until later.
That’ll do it!
On June 8th I shot this pic. Someone had placed these out of the way behind some other stuff. I know which store this is, my cell camera recorded the location. There is a chance these went unnoticed…….
I saw those Hampton Bay 3-Light Vanity fixtures for $15.03. It looks like there are at least 5 work lights in that picture!
See how poorly maintained the store is ? Those same lights are still tagged at $56
Great opportunity for any deals !
I plan to visit that store today. I will post the results.
BTW, I have scored other penny deals in the mean time. I will post those too, plus a bit of frustration I had at the self checkout. 
Besides the opportunity to get some great deals at Home Depot, this thread has redeemed the lowly penny in my viewpoint. I used to ignore pennies I would see while taking my dogs for their walk. Not now! It’s a point of pride to not even pay the penny out of my earned money. I have found 13 cents on recent walks and used 5 for penny purchases so I am still 8 cents ahead! I’m just a modern-day hunter-gatherer.
My top 5 reasons for picking up a penny.
1. It could be a “lucky” penny.
2. It could be the penny in your pocket that keeps you from getting 4 more back in change.
3. It’s good to stay limber, the stretch will do you good.
4. Don’t be so cavalier about a penny, it could progress later to dollars and more.
5. (my favorite and most important) It’s tax free income, the IRS doesn’t know
Of course as lichan points out, it could be useful at Home Depot for when you find a penny deal.
What is the tax rate on 1 penny?
I’ve never understood this preoccupation with taxes, services cost money AND tax rates are not at all crippling.
Very good dcho lettermak, but you lose flasholic points for #1. It should have been:
1. It could be a pre-1982 penny and contain enough copper to fill an open pill
Please turn on 10 flashlights simultaneously (no dirty comments folks) and recite the BLF rules one time.
Oh yes they ARE!!!
When taxes are too high it creates a disincentive to earn money. And those that can do, do not need an abundance of services anyway. To those that can’t do, the government with all their services creates another disincentive to earn money.
When taxes are too high, it’s bad for EVERYBODY.
If the government was IN business and had to compete in a business climate, they would have been OUT of business long ago.
BTW, my Social Security check I get each month barely covers the monthly property tax bill on our house. Think about that one for awhile. And that is not even an income tax, nor is it a Federal Tax. Then there are the State Income taxes, sales tax, service taxes etc, etc, etc,
And you don’t understand the preoccupation with taxes?
As a coincidence, just today I received a letter from the IRS. They think I earned $4000 more than I reported. (I didn’t and I’ll easily prove that) but the extra tax on that would have been $1504.00. And IF I really did owe that, there would be another bill right behind that with penalties and late fees.
Can’t make a go of it and the government is your friend.
Try as hard as you can to make a go of it and the government will try and beat you down.
Just my opinion and experience.
BTW, there is a saying. “A penny saved is a penny earned” BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE!
I say “A penny saved is a penny earned, TAX FREE”
And that can be worth much more than a penny.
Boy, if I could have come up with 5 more, I could be on David Letterman.
Too late, he is retired.
What tax rate do you consider too high?
At what income level do you start paying income tax? I’m sure its different in the US vs Canada.
How do you feel about companies like Google who have paid tax rates of 2.4%, meaning you have to make up the difference?
If your total income was 4k a year what would your income tax rate be?
How do you feel about congress blocking any action to cut subsidies on oil companies that are among the most profitable companies on earth?
I’m not saying i like taxes, nobody likes taxes, but they serve a purpose, they are not evil incarnate.
All I know is that in my area I can buy up to 5 penny items at a time at Home Depot without incurring any sales tax, which is nice.
