your going to have to get you a special vehicle just for lowes trips,maybe you could have their name printed on the sides and they would pay you a advertising mileage for driving it. that subaru is going to scrape the ground someday.
i just hit lowes down in mo. for a new laser,sold for 125 marked to 25,worth that just to mess with the dog.
the older i get ,
the more people tick me off
hopefully a freshly cleaned hampster cage?..... Otherwise, I know why it was on sale :)

I have 4-5 Lowes stores within about 20 minutes of me and always stop in when I'm near by..Most clearance items are at multi-stores, but with huge discrepancies in how low the prices get.Recently, I picked up a Dewalt XRP 18 volt jigsaw with batt and charger for $65, a Porter Cable 4x24 VS whisper belt sander for $65 and a Bostich 16 ga finish nailer for $60.Have had numerous other amazing clearance deals in the past few years, but mainly, that's cause I'm always looking for em.For about 1 week total, they were clearing out the Bosch 4100 with gravity stands for $399 (reg $599) - they said that corp was going to make them a special order only item. I ended up getting the display for about $350 or so... Then a week later, corp changed their mind, the saws went back up to $599.Good timing - I sold my 10 year old almost worn out 4000 saw and the rolling stand and ended up with the new setup for about $70 total.Did the same with the belt sander referenced above - sold my older non-variable speed model on CL for $75 and ended up with the brand new VS model for a net profit of about $15.JT

weird... many things on clearance at one store will not be @ the other... or different markdowns... which is not smart on their part... because you could buy at one return at the other for a profit (you'd have to get a gift card)btw i did look at another store... they have a like product that is still stocking... so if i have to purchase one box at regular price... i'm good with that...hope all is well guy... i still owe you dinner plus... still fighting the lake house fight... it's almost funny at this pointp
Ahhhhh, sweet... I mean sweat... I didn't know you had a sauna under way. Enjoy...Scott.
dang it.
Played the Lowes' daytripper today and saw no cedar sale and dam inspector's Hitachi planer blades were gone.
The lights were discounted to the max but I'll might return Friday when it'll be the last hurrah before they are dropped in the dumpster. The Lowes workers usual get the last dibs on that stuff tho'.
Bought a slew of EMTconduit fittings for a electrican buddy. Told him he owed me pizza and a beer. friggin' 3 to 5 dollar units for a dime.
Did find a 60" special order marble counter with sink that had been returned because it was said she thought the granite color was a shade off.
Had seen it there but the discounts from the $627 price wasn't enough to get my interest.
Been there months and today I saw new $97 price on it.
Offered $50.
heh heh Victory.

I use to buy alot of their paints ..mistints for $5 a gallon... if it was their high end stuff it was worth it... any almost white or light tanish i can work with... box it up into 5 gallon pails... now they want $11gal for it... seems employees were mistinting it for their own use... pretty sure i bought alot of paint that was mixed for another employee...I do like that they will entertain "offers"
p
Recall a couple years back an employee got fired over doing that intentional mistint deal. Must be a common scam.
Most paints I see there are still $5 a gal but are funky pinks and purples.
Figured someone was watching a renovation show, got inspired then discovered their creativity wasn't as good as they first thought.
Those aren't pinks and purples that is the color they put on the can to be rejected!!!!!!

When the Home Depot near me has a "mis-tint", they add more tint to it so it isn't the same color any more.
Apparently, some customers were having them mix up a specific color (sometimes several gallons), but when they were handed the paint can with the confirmation drop on the lid, they would say it wasn't the color they wanted. Then, later on, the customer would come back and buy it for $5 as a mis-tint.
Now, that can't happen. Good. I hate when some people behave as if it's not stealing if it's really clever.
I got a 40" Jennair stainless propane BBQ grill, drop in type. Regular price was $1,200 for $299!! Now I have an excuse to build a nice stone BBQ island to put it in.
I bought a couple little ballasts there for 15 cents. Might need one someday. Got a five gallon pail of the 25 year olympic paint for $15. Got a fence to paint.
Might need one someday.
Oh gawd, those are some nasty, nasty words.
seeyou invented HELP!
Dude, I know I need help.
At least I left the four other ballasts.
The Hitachi planer blades were gone so I at least spared you something. What exactly is unknown and yet to be discovered by dealdudes.

Just got back from Lowes...the only thing we have in this small town. Picked up the last Senco DuraSpin Cordless 14.4 kit for $80.00. Clearance item. Is that a deal? Not sure I need it now but who knows? You guys are killing me trying to keep up.
