hcl1 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The flicker is what really bothers me. It almost gives me a headache. I have yet made the switch but I am considering it. Just going to cost around 7-8k to switch is the hard part. But I spend that much on controllers cust when buying lights I am use to the 2 dollar and 3 dollar a box items....

jaimwolfe Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Don't give up guys/girls, there are still deals out there. I was working out of town and drove an extra 15 minutes to another walmart in Goshen, IN and walked out with 75 boxes of multicolor 100ct incans @ 1.34/box. I left about 35 or 40 boxes, since I didn't need them. I also stopped by an Ace hardware and picked up 11 100ct red icicle lights for $2.50 a piece.

TJ Hvasta Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Going around to a bunch of Goodwill stores Tuesday morning looking for Christmas stuff for next year, we found THIS!! it was $39.99, and then 75% off for Seasonal item discount.. we walked out with it for $9!! Ok, was $14 because I gave them $5 donation.. HE WORKS!! Has canned music/songs, a mic and aux inputs.. the head turns, jaw moves to the music and mic/aux, but didnt swing back and forth like he's supposed to.. Opened it up, found the drive belt was missing, went to HD for an O-ring, one from a Delta faucet fit, popped it on and he's rockin' the night away..We put him in the yard to play Santa for Red Sovine's A Soldiers Silent Night.. Total cost, $16.27. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roach.dan@gmail.com Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I hit up 4 Walmarts first thing Monday morning. Ended up getting about 9,000 LEDS mostly RED as I have a hook up on whites (I did end up getting 2,000 or so white minis for my lil trees) Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanBry77 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wow you guys got some deals! I was out and about today for work and was hoping I'd casually stroll in to an HD or Lowes and find a pot o gold. No such luck!My "pre-season" order though from HLE did arrive, 30 packs of LED minis... Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hall Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The only thing left for me to buy was light stakes and light holders for the roof. I still have plenty of them but didn't want to leave the store empty handed, so I bought some. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having them delivered for free to my local store. Woohoo! I feel better now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Menards has 11% rebate on top of the 50% for this week. Not as exciting as I was hoping. I bought some of what I wanted, waiting for better deals.Walgreens went 75% on some stuff and someone beat me to what I was hoping to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome job on your Santa score! :cool:Our Lowes goes to 75% off tomorrow morning. I am hoping to score an animated Rudolph, some giant snowflakes, and GE color effects! Fingers are crossed. The challenge will be getting my butt out of bed and there by 7 am..... I am not a morning person. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
