Walgreens Extension Cord Closeout YMMV

[joe_267]

Was at Walgreens tonight, and on the bottom shelf of the Christmas lights, I found these 12ft 14/3 600v STW three outlet inline extension cords.

They are priced at $4.99 each. Seem to be pretty heavy duty and well built. I can never have enough extension cords so I grabbed the last six they had.

Anyway, not a massive deal, but hopefully save a few bucks if you need some. [emoji106]

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! [emoji2]

Oops sorry about that. Using the Android app. Must not be resizing properly...

In the future I'll try to resize manually.

Strange length at 12 ft . . . but what the heck for $5 they would come in handy.

Yeah it was pretty odd when I saw it. Maybe it was a cost issue in manufacturing. Most of these I see at HD, Lowes etc use 300v SJTW or SJEOW cable, which if I recall is cheaper. Maybe they were originally supposed to be 25ft 300v cable, at the $29.00 price point, but someone in China made a mistake and they couldn't sell 12ft cables fo $29. [emoji1]

I'm guessing that based on the color, the intended purpose of this cord is to run along your Christmas tree trunk. That would give you 4' from the bottom of the tree to the wall and then 3 outlets vertically. It also makes sense that they would be clearancing these as the old large incandescents that were popular a few years ago have faded back to oblivion and the new LED's can have like 37 strings daisy-chained.

Joe, that is a good buy.. I'll just have to sneak into Walgreens and pretend I am shopping for Christmas decorations; rather than shop equipment..

Too bad. At my store they were on the absolute bottom shelf. Looked kind of dusty. Maybe they found them in the stock room or something.

I went to the Yakima store yesterday, they had one, on the bottom rack, dirty and covered up by the cords next to it. Had them scan it and it was regular price...Thanks any way. Maybe I will check back later...Rich

If you have an Osh Hardware in your area, they have a similar ext cord on sale this week for the same price but it's an 8ft (only $1 off reg price).

that is not even close, Walgreen's has an out let every 4 feet, instead of just at the end...But thanks for trying...****

I 'll see if I can find my receipt when I get home tonight, scan it, and post it. May have trashed it though...
