JeffF Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Since the $0.06/ft 18awg SPT-1 deal has dried up, I was wondering if $1.00 per 9' of 16awg SPT-2 extension cord is a decent deal? I'm thinking it is but I just wanted to check to see if anybody knows of any other "hot" deals anywhere.TIA.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iresq Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That appears to be a good deal. What is the shipping? By means of comparison, Wally World sell a 6' for $1.30ish.Care to share the source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffF Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sure...http://www.christmasdepot.com/detail/28148They still have 349 available at this time. Just a little FYI, they come in cases of 70 if you want to buy a whole case and they are of the "Westinghouse" brand. I bought 76 of them last week since I was pretty sure $1 each was at least a decent deal. They arrived today and are pretty nice cords for $1. I just bought another 70. BTW, shipping made them ~$1.20 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbottomley Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 My cords just arrived FAST. Not a bad price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnealand Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I found one dollar store selling green 6 ft cords at $1. I bought 60 so far, but they are almost out. I keep stopping at dollar stores to see what they might have. One manager told me they never know for sure if they wll get 6ft, 9ft or 12 ft or a mix, but they are all $1 each. So I keep looking when I am in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan.a Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 might want to check your local homedepo. they have 25' 16-3 for under 2.00 . and 50' for 5.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 some home depots around here still have some of the 3 packs left @ 1.25. just look hard behind things and up high. also, if a store has any lots, just ask the manager about a price reduction if you buy them all. i did this a my nearest home depot and ended up buying 525 spt2 cords, but at .25 piece. never hurts to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I went looking for *real* dollar stores and found 3 or 4 in about one square mile... I bought six "dual" 6' cords for $6. These cords are funky in that you plug in one end to the outlet and then there are two 6' cords that come off of that. So really, for what I need them for, it's like getting two cords for $1. Thanks again. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
