The 2 pack of Makita 3.0 batteries are $69 at my local HD. Still a hell of a deal for 2 pretty large capacity lithium batteries. They're normally $99 for just 1 3.0 battery.

They're $100 per pack at Christmas, but $69 is a good deal none the less.
Interesting story today...I went to go return/rebuy Bosch Jigsaw for $80 instead of $112 that I got 2 weeks ago. The manager says that I would have to return mine and then get another one off the shelf. I said why can't I return mine and buy mine back?! She said that you can't do that with clearance items and that it would be marked RTV (return to vendor). I've return/rebuy 1 other thing at different Home Depot before and I haven't heard of this "policy". Is this store specific or corporate policy??
FYI, Echo SilentTwist trimmer line is still at .06 pricing near me. They have a ton of it too.

Actually fairly common or normal around here. I've had a 50-60% success rate at doing return/rebuy.

HD is getting to be as bad as HF for the variances of what is allowed between stores. even nearby stores.

Geez, you beat me to it. The price was $480 though at the store I was at. Sticker said it had been that way for 3 weeks. I thought it was amazing, then saw what it really goes for. Maybe it includes the stand
I did find a few other gems, so guess I still will have to hook up the phone to upload...

Most stores i've been to say as long as it's with in 30 days, it is an adjustment. after that, i can see their argument. sometimes i don't even mention the price drop part. I'll bring a gift card with me and say I wanted my cash back and use the card i forgot to use, along with other things you need in the store.

The only line I've ever got when calling corporate about matters like these is, "It's Home Depot's official policy is to leave it up to the store manager to come up with their own store policy". Although it's been a while since I've called in (last summer), I imagine it hasn't changed since then.
Personally, I like to limit my face time with store managers/assistant managers to instances when no other option exists. That way when I find a pallet of penny compressors in the overhead, I'm not dealing with a store manager that remembers me as the guy who recently argued with him about doing a return/rebuy.
In that regard, if a store is giving me guff about doing a r/r, I just accept it and drive to another store or come back later when someone else is working.

Still curious as to where in the store you are finding such bargains ? Are they in a particular part of the store that I just haven't found yet or if it was a power miter saw for example would I expect to see it in the tool section ?
I've found myself walking around my local store with my head on a swivel, and haven't noticed any such sales.

Have hop on one of the computers in the store and use the "Price Check" app. Some stores have things on clearance, others don't...
One store near me rarely has things on clearance or even stock of items everyone else has. Another store about 30-45min away has piles of clearance stuff in every isle just about, it's crazy how night & day different the stores are.

I didn't grab a picture but the Milwaukee tripod m18 lights were down to 200.00 from 250.00. It's really a good deal if you find the ones that came with a free battery and charger. Same sku as the bare tool. Also I'm not sure why but the single m12 larger capacity battery just went on clearance.

Yeah the M12's are only $72.00 right now though at my store, down from $79.
I'm sure it's a result of the 6.0's coming out (which have actually been out for a long time but HD is very slow to update batteries). They did the same thing w 4.0 M18's once they finally got around to stocking 5.0s
They are still $49.88 here.

Do not call corporate if you get denied a return rebuy, go to that store on another day and time or go to another store. Corporate will not do a thing for you and if enough people call for stuff like that, they're more likely to put in a national policy and it almost certainly will not be a good one.

You are in the same general area as SPN. You will never see the best deals since he'll beat you to them most likely.

Bought 4 Gallons of Blaster parts washer solvent for $20.12 at my local HD.
Me too. Makita hammer drill down to $59 at 3908.

Opened it up.
They're plastic... Decent but not the best I've seen, and only slightly above the worst.
The tools themselves seem to be excellent quality and on par with other sets I have. No snapon, but husky does honor their tool warranty, which is more than I can say for craftsman anymore.

Agreed. And I never use the word "clearance." I just say the price has dropped and I'd like to do a return and rebuy. Also just be very clear about what you want, don't ask things like "is this possible" or "how can I get the difference?" Just matter of factly but politely say "return and rebuy."
But yeah, if it doesn't work just wait for a different employee.

That's the new normal price. Just a bonus if you still find with the battery & charger. The other stand light dropped $100, as well as the radius light.
I imagine the inflated prices were to soften the $150/$200 hit they took when purchased with the kit at HD during the holidays.

I was thinking you were going to have only 1 home depot near you if you are in Maine, but looks like if you are near one, there are 7-9 within an 1.5 hour drive of each other. I would gladly make a trip of all of them in day. I wasted much more yesterday picking up my Milwaukee bottom, not that I didn't find other deals along the way.
I did mange to go to 3 new HD's to me, and one of them got me sick while walking around it was arranged so strangely. Super longer store. 3 aisle lengths long, but very narrow. silly i know. won't be going back there (half for orientation, half for poor clearance)
Was at one of mine sunday afternoon and the pro desk computer I used still had it.
I was in the store 2 days ago and worked fine as well. Today, I was looking for some items and went to all the computers in the store couldn't access it. Only internet access.
what stores?

look for it under the keyboard, either on the desk, or, if they are sneaky, taped to the bottom of the keyboard.
you would be surprised how often that works.

I pm'ed the mod months ago and asked him to lift the ban. He said no. Bans on this site are often quick without even a warning and for minor things. It's disappointing because a lot of good posters got banned for small stuff.
why was he banned?
