HomeDepot - Led trade in is back (again)

[gizmomkr]

Im sure most allready know - but just in case:

Home Depot is AGAIN offering the christmas light trade in program for LED's.

You bring in *any* string working or not of incan's, and get 3.00 off up to 5 strings of LED.

At least in years past there really wasnt any tracking on it, so after 5, you could just walk to another register and get 5 more.

Anyway - its a good deal and a great way to get rid of BROKEN incan's !!

It's important to also provide a link, then you'll see that it's for 10 days only. (November 4th to 14th)

I wonder what constitutes a light string. I have several that I stripped the plugs and wire from. The lights are still in a string.

How do you do this??? Are you using old dead strings for extension cords???

When I did it last year - they had a big container by the door - I just dropped what I had in.... they didnt even look at it, (some were only "sections" i had cut up like you) when I got to the register, they just asked how many I had placed in the box. I told the clerk "2.5" she said "that sounds like 3 to me"

I'm cutting off about 8" on each end and keeping the plug & socket. I use the plugs when I 100 count mini's in half. I splice in the plug for the second half. Now I have two 50 count mini strings.

I don't currently have a use for the sockets for anything yet but I keep them any way because free is cheaper than buying one.

If you're wanting to make extension cords here's how you do it. http://www.landolights.com/main/content/view/112/39

That was an interesting read - and I AM A CHEAP BASTARD - but REALLY !?

5 -10 min per string - comon, Im buying more zip cord before I go down that road.

I think I'm going to be cutting off the Male and female plugs off of the strings in the boxes.

It’s interesting that you could buy a brand new set, clip off the plugs, bring it back and get a $3 coupon. It would still be cheaper than buying just the plugs.
