Papa6058 Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 If anyone knows of extension cord sales, please post here. I need 58 extension cords to finish plugging stuff in. BTW buying the controllers is the easy part the displays, hardware, lights and cords are a lot of work. I do not think I will ever double my channels again. I mostly need 15' cords if they are on sale anywhere that would rock! Papa
Liberty-Laser Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Sorry - a day late. The Menards sale ended yesterday. The 15' cords were $1.99 each & 6' cords were $.88 each. I bought all my Menards had in stock.
Papa6058 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 Don't feel bad, we don't have Menards here. I would have only bought 50 LOL Papa
Papa6058 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 Great! I think I can make several work with 12 footers. With 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby they are $2.60 for 15', I bet they would not like me in line 50 times! Papa
75redman Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 WalMart. 15ft for $2.97. That's their normal price.
Papa6058 Posted November 18, 2013 Author Posted November 18, 2013 WalMart. 15ft for $2.97. That's their normal price.That's the best price yet for 15 footers TY Papa
Papa6058 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 Anyone know if anyplace B&M or online that sells extension cords at bulk prices Papa
Paul R Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Why not buy a spool of SPT2 wire and some vampire plugs? Make your own...much cheaper than store bought and they will all be the exact length you need. -Paul

Yea, I mostly need about 50 15 footers and with the cost of the cord and the ends store bought at a good price is a better deal. Thank you all for your help, I guess I better pull the trigger on something looks like temps in the teens and a wintery mix this weekend
Liberty-Laser Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 OK, buying at full retail cost - I get that, but on-sale, there is no comparison. I bought 495 ft of extension cord for a grand total of $71.73 (includes tax) - no shipping costs, no ends to buy & no assembly required. I pull the cardboard wrapper and plug into display.

oilmoney Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Over the past 3 weeks I've bought 50-60 45ft extension cords. Fortunately canadian tire had them on sale for $9.99ea. Some of the cords were longer than need be but a $4.00 cord spool takes care of the excess cord. The looks on peoples faces as I'm leaving the store with a shopping cart full of extension cords!!!
rainyoregonchristmas Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 A store here had cords for 2.50 last year or the year before for a 25 ft cord. Never seen that price since. Its ok, bright orange isnt my thing. But I did buy tons anyway.
