Got ya.

I wonder if they would let you borrow a scanner.....like they would if you are making a wedding registry for instance.......I mean if you "scheduled your wedding out two years" you would need to/should update that registry constantly right???????

Wedding registry doesn't yes a scanner like most stores.

if it is on their proprietary Network it is most likely password protected. even if it is not password protected or you know the password (which may be a store number), wouldn't this be a network intrusion?
I wouldn't be surprised if they have a software which monitors Network activity
I am all for it but I don't know it is legal to use one

Especially after their credit card breach that they had. Getting onto their internal network would definitely be password protected and MAC address filtered. The external wifi network that you pick up in the store is part of the DMZ (de-militarized zone), which does not get you into their network. DMZ means you can use their network to access the internet, but the firewall would prevent you from getting into the internal network.

Totally agree. I was hoping they had non SSID broadcasted wifi.

Yeah I was thinking about that too, after their hack you'd figure the place is locked down tighter than God knows what.

Even the spreadsheet that was started is an improvement.

Im still hoping to get access to their APIs to see if they return store-level pricing or not.

What's an API?

it would be nice if there was a phone app accessing their price check API. Similar to what their registers have access to.
kmart, target and others have those price scanners, I am surprised they did not create a phone app so people could use that instead

They have a phone app available. It doesnt do store-level pricing, though...it just mimicks the prices that are on the website.

Kmart and sears don't have self checkouts but they have price scanners. target now has both, so does walmart I believe

If anyone has questions/comments regarding the spreadsheet or access to it, contact myself, chrisexv6 or mswol767 via PM so we can keep that discussion out of here.

Was able to get the display as it was the only one in the store for a 10% discount. Another store showed 3 but I could not find them. Was also able to grab the Echo chainsaw. Thanks for whoever posted that!

Just left the waterford store, showed 3 of the pb500 blowers, none to be found. They did have a couple saws on clearance. Had a couple hdmi cables marked from sept 2014 still at 29 and change.

Bucket fan was a penny.

Portsmouth blower inventory is all messed up. Showed 6 last week with 6 on floor. Now shows -2 (after one I bought for coworker) with 2 more in overhead and none on floor...

None to be found. Last night same story. Staff was no help, which makes me wonder if they know where they are

does anyone know if I can use T12s in this thing or only T8s?
Home Depot has a box of T12 30 count for a penny
Click to expand...


T8 only. There were T8s on clearance a while back as I had bought some prior to deciding on LEDs. If you want to make it easy get the $10 Philips Instafit LEDs. The bulbs are phenomenal and bright and no rewiring of the fixture. Work with the existing ballast. I have 4 of these lights in my garage with those bulbs and it's great!!

Everyone who has PMed me has been given access to the sheet. If there are any issues with access, you need to use a gmail account. If you PMed me and haven't gotten access, let either of us know.

It seams easy for me to find the penny deals on the big items. I am not having much luck on the small items.

I just stumble on most of mine. Once you get a feel for the stores in your area and know what items have been on clearance, the penny deals will come. Also look for stuff that seems out of place or exceptionally old.

This.

Its funny but you almost have to seem like a weirdo, going to different Home Depots pretty consistently. I suppose because of time and gas money involved, its more of a hobby, but once you walk out with a good penny item it kinda makes it all worth it.

In fact, last night I had to install a nailer to hang some cabinets on my concrete basement wall. To do so, I used:

Milwaukee corded SDS hammer drill, cost: $0.01
1/4"x7" SDS drill bit, cost: free (sample pack)
5/16" x 3" Tapcons, cost: free (sample pack)

The only thing that "cost" was the wood I used, and that was stored in the garage of our house since we bought it, so technically that was no cost too.

Its fun when you can do a project for basically nothing!

I am not sure if anyone else feel like this, but once I found my first penny item it was like I am addicted now. Constantly looking for them now.

I PMed you but for some reason my message doesn't show up in "Sent Items". Please let me know if you got my PM.

thanks

P.S. I just sent you one from Tapatalk and that one is showing up in my Sent Items, but the ones I sent earlier from laptop don't. I use the same credentials to log in. Very strange. Could that be because I rarely use laptop to access this forum?
