Home Depot Clearance Thread 2015

[REXAMUS]

Alright, so I made a trip back to my local store and was finally able to get a couple of items.

Last week I went into the store and found a bunch of clearance items on the computer with 3-4 on-hand. I spoke with a couple employees who advised to look in the clearance section and if it wasn't there they didn't have it. Nothing was located in the clearance section so I looked up in the rafters but didn't see anything so I left and was sad.

I went back today and went straight to the clearance table since it's Monday. What is the first thing I see? An item that they told me last week they no longer had and that I shouldn't bother looking for it. This makes me mad so I grab it and stick it in my cart and head over to the computer. I look up all the items I looked at last week and looked at the vendor information. At least 4 of the items they told me they didn't have last week now had a last sold date of either July 3rd or July 4th. Obviously someone found them and was able to purchase them.

Today I decided to look for batteries and found the 24 pack of AA Energizer batteries for $3.** with 7 on hand! I found one box that was heavily damaged and had been stapled like a million times to stay shut. I asked several employees where the other 6 might be and they all told me that they probably didn't have them and their system is probably wrong. One of the employees told me that I can't trust the inventory HomeDepot.com says and I informed her that I was utilizing their in-store price checking app and not Homedepot.com She continued to argue with me that it was the same thing so I just said okay and continued browsing the store.

I'm starting to think all of the employees around here are just dumb and/or misinformed.

They are dumb, there's no question. Every time I find a deal it takes 3 associates and a manager to finally get a deal done. As for the computer, no matter what they say, if it's in the computer, it's in the store, or it's been stolen. There's no other option. Like I posted before, I even found the 58 dollar clearance Bostitch nailer in a store that had an inventory of -1. Not 1, not 0, -1. Lol. HD associates are so dumb, (see my last pic posted) that I bought a floor model nailer that still had the bracket tied to it with a metal anti-theft cable. She couldn't figure out how to get it off (duh, it has to be cut, you can't just remove or it or what's the point in the first place!?) So she literally said, "Aww, F$%& it, just take it" and walked away from me. The same girl forgot to remove the exploding ink thing from another Bostitch nailer and I had to bring it back into the store, all the while thinking, "even if the ink thing were to explode, what's the point on a metal nailer?" At HD, you have to do everything yourself to find a deal. No one is going to help you.

Do you guys carry binoculars or something? lol

I can barely read the stuff up high. I know some of you climb ladders and such but I'm not to that point yet.

Thats a sweet deal on the batteries. I bought 4 packs last week from a store that was showing -1 in the price check app. There is another store around me that is showing 25 in the system, I am guessing it is an entire case that has been misplaced, so I keep looking.
Most employees are misinformed, but if you keep talking to different ones you will find the intelligent helpful ones...

By "rafters" I mean the first level over 7 feet. I don't look high in the rafters...My eyesight isn't THAT good! I found my Ridgid nailer on the first shelf above 7 feet the other day...

the binoculars may not be a bad idea. I quite often take a picture with my phone and zoom in. sometimes that works.

 

[Jeff95TA]

Most of the time when I've been on the computer, the employees just say hi and ask if I'm finding everything. If I stay there for more than 2 minutes a customer will ask where to find something even though I don't have a spot of orange on me. "Oh, I saw you on the computer and thought you worked here. You looked like you knew what you were doing." lol

Couple quick deals. 30" closetmaid wardrobe cabinet $25.03 617599

[HotRodHudson]

Finally scored one of the Dewalt DS400 tool boxes from my tight asscot of a store! Inventory has said "0" for a week or more but scanning the outside of tool dept shelves I finally spotted one. Grabbed their ladder, drug it over & jackpot! Just as I was coming down the ladder I was asked if I needed help? Haha, got it covered thank you!!

I too was thinking I needed binoculars!

Lucky. My store has had roughly 20 of these, top and bottom, and they haven't moved an inch.

I've watched this thread and checked it out a few times over the last few days. Currently, it's on page 156. I will try to go back through the last ten pages tomorrow and take out the fluff to get it cleaned up. If I don't get to it, send me a PM to remind me.

As much as I'd like to, I can't remember everything.

Ok gentlemen, I have gone back to page 145/146 and deleted some of the ******* match/ non-related stuff out.

Let's try to keep this to the deals and how to get them. If you're doing anything illegal per the local law, don't bother posting it here, keep that to your PMs.

Yes,

I'm now on the hunt for 30 degree clipped nails

......aaaand I have 8 boxes of the 30 degree clipped nails. If you cant find any and want to get rid of the nailer, let me know. I would offer to ship you some nails, but it would be WAAAAAY too expensive.

 

[HotRodHudson]

Anyone know if these nails were part of the .50 cent nail deals? Found 4 on the shelf at full price but store stock is zero.

They were 50 cents I bought and sold them really quick too. Only got 8 from 3 different stores. They are no longer online anymore. Last week I checked one store high and low for 20 boxes they had in stock, but couldn't find them. Will try again this week.

 

[chrisexv6]

A question for you guys about those DS400 boxes. What are the strong points about them that you like? Maybe I'm just too old-school, but I like a metal toolbox, and I can't get too excited about a $69.00 box that's made out of $5 worth of plastic. I thought that was a great deal when somebody got 10 of them for $18, but I thought that was $1.80 each, not $18.00 each. thanks.

Stackable

A lot lighter than a metal box of the same size

Wont rust

Sealed from water (and the little ones are sealed from air too apparently)

I picked up a few myself but think I like the Ridgid ones better....not sure yet though. Whichever I dont like will go up on CL.

 

[DR99]

If the computer says "2" there's 2 in the store. Either not where they are supposed to be, or someone stole them. Heck, every nailer I bought the other night said 0 in the store. One even said -1. In my store, milwaukee is spread over 3 aisles all the way to the door latch aisle. My manager told me tonight they had a milwaukee event where the got 3 pallets of Milwaukee tools...he said they couldn't sell a single one, and milwaukee refused to buy them back. In a few months, you know what that means...!

The store near me has a big Milwaukee Fuel display now. This store is not in a well off area its not bad, but I don't see people buying premium tools. I will keep an eye out to see if things get marked down in a few months. They actually re did the whole tool area at this store new pegboards and everything.

Yea those Ridged ones are nice, could use them for the shooting range too.

 

[HotRodHudson]

I thought they were .50 cents last week but when I look online now the price is $19.47 and while I found 4 boxes the online count is "0". So my question: does anyone know if the price may have risen in the store as well? I'm wondering if the .50 cent price was just temporary?

Along those same lines when I go into the stores price check app I will see a clearance price but if I look at home on my computer for the same item the price is full price. I'm wondering if stores will clearance some items and when gone raise the price back up, especially if the item is only being clearanced from the store level but still available for purchase on line.

Just got my 1st penny deal! I found 13 Drought Relief Kits in the clearance section and it scanned for .01. I also picked up a couple of the Bostitch Brad Nailers and 1 Bostitch Stapler. They were 27.00 and 29.00 each. Thanks to all that post the deals, I am pretty pumped right now. Let me see if I remember how to post an pic:

Just a warning...once you get that first penny deal....your HOOKED! Haha

My eyesight is getting bad, so I tried a pair of binoculars. They were too powerful.

So I tried the camera app on my Note4 Android phone. Zoom in and read.

[HotRodHudson]

I thought we could use a harbor freight coupon and the true value coupon at HD? I was just given all sorts of grief & denied the use of both coupons!

I did the same, except on an iPhone

I just used the true value coupon on saturday and again on sunday you got me on that one. HF coupon I use them all the time.

I have used the True Value 8 to 10 time at 2 different Home Depots and had no problems


Now if you were trying to stack or double dip you may have caused your own problem

 

[Caman]

Depends on the manager and also the item you are purchasing. If they know HF or TV don't sell a similar item they probably won give you the deal.

I've used the HF coupon a couple times at HD

 

[coralnut]

I have used the True Value 8 to 10 time at 2 different Home Depots and had no problem.

Where are you getting 10 coupons? Printing them off of the internet? They don't require an "original" coupon from the paper?

I tried using the instore computers today for the first time. I found barely any .03 prices on the computer and the ones I found on the computer there was no stock anywhere near. My store has about a dozen 72" husky levels on clearance at $46.06, price tag is dated 3/28/15. Funny thing is I can't even find this item in the in store computer. I search the sku on the clearance tag and get nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[firworks]

Day 2 of failure. I found the Bosch Cross Line Self Leveling Laser for 28.03 in my store computer. Said there was 1 in stock. I looked in the No Home area above tools and couldn't find it. Got a associate to help and they literally didn't even try. She looked up the UPC on her hand held and said "Normally it tells me where it is. Since it doesn't say it's gone. Sorry" So I spent about an hour and a half looking for it. Strangely, I did find one of the more expensive models that was not on clearance above the paint section. Sadly I gave up, and left with my mouse hotel and some LED lightbulbs that were 3$. I'm pretty happy with that deal though and will go back and buy out the rest tomorrow since they work really well and were like 21$ original price.

 

[bulldrm]

Nice! What is it?

Just like Coralnut said, there are 2 faucet heads and a couple of restrictors. Honestly, I was so excited about them scanning for a penny I didn't care what it was.

I have been stalking this thread for a couple weeks and have picked up some clearance stuff but nothing has come up .01 until today.

 

[bulldrm]

Just a warning...once you get that first penny deal....your HOOKED! Haha

No doubt! I can't wait for next Monday to see what else is getting clearances out. I was surprised at how easy the transaction went. The girl at the register called the manager over and he told her to ring it up at a penny. He said that not too long ago they were refusing to honor that price but had recently changed because corporate doesn't want to tell anyone "no". I am good with that!

 

[Yoyonogood]

hey guys i found some 5 gallon buckets of glidden duo and premium paints from $23-30 while looking for tool chests at a home depot her in arizona. i have attached some of the pics i took. also if anyone comes across a clearance tag for the husky 41 inch tool chest (or really any husky tool chest) for the extremely low prices others have been spotting them for (below $399) can you please post it my local manager will match a clearance tag but not a receipt.

 

[chrisexv6]

Yea those Ridged ones are nice, could use them for the shooting range too.

Kinda annoyed now...I paid full price for the set of Ridgid boxes, just long enough before the sale where they threw in the smaller box for free, so I couldnt return and rebuy using the sale.

Now I find the DeWalts on clearance and since I already have the Ridgids, I need to get rid of some of them!

Oddly enough, no hits on CL yet.
