[thertel]

Husky T-Bar Socket Spinner SAE Set (5-Piece)

Was $29.97 /each Now $7.52

Now at "Voodoo Price", all 10 service techs at work got gifted one today.

 

[wastedcosmonaut]

Found a large Cat battery charger, item not found. This store tends to remove items from the system when they penny. Spent too long arguing and left empty handed. Grr.

Those levels took forever to drop from .06. It's about time

 

[FigureItOut]

Seen in Fayetteville AR, YMMV. The pliers themselves are generally over $40.

GE LED bright stik - 3 in a box for $2.5. Model no LED10LS3. It is a great deal imo for a soft white LED. It is not dimmable.

I bought several boxes, but there are a stack of them at the clearance section in Richmond road store, Lexington KY.

 

[winlinmac]

I did a Google search with that item number (seen in the picture), but no results popped up

Thanks, I think its on sale in select-areas only which have the items in stock, physically at the stores. I'm only seeing ship to store option, odd.

This is definitely a case for checking the sku in store. It is on clearance so they don't want to advertise which stores have it in stock on their website.

The clearance price at my local store was only $2 less than Walmart's normal price.

Picked up a ridgid generator cord and 18v gen4 circula saw for voodoo price at one store. Kid at sco caught me while paying but i finished transaction before manager came and she came over and asked if I already paid and I said yes. She just said merry christmas and let me leave. Also picked up the husky t handle spinner set at voodoo price and milwaukee electrician level for a little over $7 at another store. Last store got the dewalt bushless kit dck296m2 for $175.

 

[Wbrzo16]

Also saw these husky led lights on clearance. Maybe something to keep an eye on since in the beginning of the year similar 1000 lumen lights went down to voodoo price.

 

[zer0cell]

Wow... awesome deal on the klein set and milwaukee level!

 

[wastedcosmonaut]

The husky light is getting replaced with a newer model that's 750 and 1500, a switch between the two settings. 60+.

 

[buckwheat_la]

So a question for you guys in here, do you know if the stages of clearance applies to Canadian Home Depot store too?

 

[drwheels]

046878279919 xlstream hose nozzle @$2.53.Regular price $10.00.

Canada?

My store can't give away the Mike Holmes safety glasses. Is he a folk hero up there?

 

[paulsomlo]

Just got back from the local HD and saw some Milwaukee stuff in the clearance section. M18 worklight, M18 "lantern" light, M12 1/4" Fuel impact ($81), M18 rapid multi-charger ($151). The impact had the anti-theft tag, apparently a display model. The lights didn't have clearance stickers on them yet.

It does not. Or at least, in the last 8mo of me tracking all the GJ Home Depot threads and spending lots of time in both BC and WA Home Depots for my first home purchase, Canada doesn't follow the US system for clearance at all.

Furthermore, in Canada the items on clearance are quite often different store to store. While trying to get a Compressor on clearance, a store manager let me in on how the system works. Beyond the "discontinued items" or "Canada Wide Clearance" items which might be advertised, each _store_ is given a clearance budget which they can 'spend' however the manager deems appropriate. So, in the case of the compressors, at the time I was looking a lot of stores had them on clearance, but many of the BC stores still had them at full price. The manager explained to me that his particular store couldn't keep them in stock they sold so well, so they didn't allocate their clearance budget towards them. But, as he showed me, they can't sell tool boxes well at all...so all of their tool boxes were 20-70% cheaper than other stores in BC.

Best place I've found to watch for Canadian Home Depot deals is the Red Flag Deals forums. But as you'll see often the posts start with YMMV (your mileage may vary) as one store could have something on a deep discount, while other stores do not. Ability to have the prices price-matched between home depot stores varies as well.

HTH,

[tlowery04]

No such thing as a voodoo price, just a few unicorns that no one would believe if we told them. This is the same as a safe zone where we do not discuss such things at the thanksgiving dinner table. Just take a look at the history of this topic, and the first page of last years.

Yeah, I already got managers at my local store who look out for me when I am looking for something. I am going to start spending more time in the Home Depot in Greatfalls montana lol

Found a bronze Kevo deadbolt in a cart near the employee lounge. It had been opened but it seems complete. Not sure if they were going to take it home or put it in the compactor, because it was 'Item not found' on the price checker.

sku 1000020946. It is on clearance at some stores, full price at others.

Also found some slim led under cabinet lights.
12" bar sku 1000 032425 was 12.03
24" bar sku 1000 032427 was 17.03

 

[Mattprother]

349 piece Husky tool set at .03 level. Picked up the last one in the rafters.

Dont know why the f**k pictures turn up sideways!

Looked up the sku in the pca and result was item not found. Put it in my cart and started singing voodoo voodoo voodoo voodoo.....rang up 73.03. Why?

 

[-Brent-]

Having worked at HD, I can tell you how items go for pennies. They have a system of reducing the price on items that don't sell and when they hit a certain price they are THROWN AWAY. Most times the item marked a cent was lost in up-stock for a long time. The prices marked have meanings for those setting/controlling inventory.

So, often times folks get some killer deals when an employee finally finds the item in the up-stock and scans it, re-tags it and puts it out. It doesn't happen often, most times they're not found until it's too late and then they're tossed in the compactor.

At my local HD, there are more MET workers than regular employees, so the shelves are always in tip top shape with never a bargain to be had.

A day early, or you didn't click submit multiple times. If the PCA gets disconnected from the server it happens.

I checked multiple CPUs and the same thing. I didn't buy so I'll have to go back, but I think it may be server although other items pulled up fine. Any one else see a price change?

 

[captain14]

I was in my local HD today and some of the Xmas tools displays have a price reduced sign in them already. Husky 3 PC insulated screwdrivers, 4pc flashlights and a couple of others.

Maybe they are trying clear some stock out way before Xmas thei year.

 

[dngrmse]

Yeah, 98% of the BF displays are almost full at my local HD too. I think there's going to be alot of stuff on clearance come Jan 1st. I did pick up the 162 piece dremel accessory kit for $10 bucks today. It was on the front page of slickdeals, buy online and pick up in store: Store SKU #1001965143 They are going fast it seems.

 

[ckadams00]

I got four of them - all for gifts (not to try and resell, ugh) and really appreciate the tip. Bought online and store pick up. They had 8 I only took what I can use!

Truthfully, I'd take that over a place that has bargains. I'm in the one local to me (I get better deals than either lumber yard I use for lumber) so much that I'd love to see that level of organization. It's getting there with the new manager but it's not there, yet.

I'm sure they have those penny deals but their upstock is (or was) a nightmare in certain departments so stuff is tossed once it's found, I'd bet.

One thing you ALL should know is that HD's policy is that if they're out of an item they have to sell you the higher priced item for the same price. Lots of folks won't disclose that. For example, say you're looking for a 10x10 canvas drop cloth and there isn't one in the store, policy is to sell you the larger one for the same price.

Wow, now to find an employee who KNOWs company policy. Not happening in my stores, cause IF they know they'll never tell or admit it.

 

[unslow1]

I can't even get them to match Lowe's 10% around here.
