@dangeruss I hope that red votes are used sparingly. Otherwise, this site risks becoming like SD, where there’s way too much negativity.
Even worse, dominated by those unable to grasp “YMMV”, or “fanboys” who down-vote any deal for items that aren’t some revered brand.

RE: Shell Rotella Synthetic Motor Oil 5 qt. L2, FAR @ Pep Boys w/in store pick up Exp. 2/20/21
@kkcc Yeah I see that 0W-20 one too, but note the 1-star review about Pep Boys not honoring the rebate.
That rebate form is about as involved as any I’ve seen, and says you need to buy it in the store. Not sure if you buy online for in-store pickup qualifies you…? -
RE: Shell Rotella Synthetic Motor Oil 5 qt. L2, FAR @ Pep Boys w/in store pick up Exp. 2/20/21
@c3 It looks like this particular oil is targeted for trucks and SUVs (for whatever reason).
Which is just a marketing thing imo–you’d be fine using this oil in any car if the 5W-30 bit was acceptable. -

RE: Lowe's "Deal Of The Day" has hit a new level of silliness
@ukedog Heads up on the latest scorching Lowe’s “Deal Of The Day”, better act fast on this one!
FOTILE 3-N-1 In-Sink Dishwasher for only $1, 124 (from $1,499)
- FOTILE 3-N-1 sink dishwasher is a convenient product combining a kitchen sink, a dishwasher, and a produce/seafood cleaner
- Ergonomic counter top mounted design eliminates having to bend down to load and unload dishes
- FOTILE 3-N-1 sink dishwasher combines dish washing, sterilization, and drying in one simple process
So today only, here’s your opportunity to save $375! (btw you need 240V for this)
And there’s no reviews on it–likely because nobody has ever bought one? -
Amazon Prime "No-Rush Shipping" offers...disappearing?
Just curious if anyone else noticed these offers becoming rarer, if at all, when checking out as a Prime member, when buying items eligible for Prime shipping?
Until a couple weeks ago, I could usually force the option if I had two or three items in the cart, with at least $5 total.
Often for a $1 digital credit, but sometimes even for a $3 digital credit!Not any more, just a “non-rewarded” option to combine them on an “Amazon Prime” day…

RE: Lowe's Smart Garden 4.5-cu ft Poly Yard Cart, Clearance $10.96 (from $40.98) YMMV
@my4mainecoons I’ve used my Ames garden cart on all kinds of projects, not just gardening, but hauling heavy loads of broken up concrete (> 200lbs), as well as mixing concrete up too. Perfect for that, unlike these carts with their bottom recesses. I also have a conventional 6cu ft steel one-wheel wheelbarrow, but favor the Ames almost always. Not sure how I’ll use these new carts yet, lol.

RE: Lowe's Smart Garden 4.5-cu ft Poly Yard Cart, Clearance $10.96 (from $40.98) YMMV
@my4mainecoons I just went and measured the two I have sitting in my garage. The overall dimensions for one is about 39"L x 23"W x 26"H. But note they’ve been designed to “stack”, with indents in the bottom for wheels, such that if you put another one inside, it adds only 10" to the total height (now 36") and the other dimensions hold.
So I guess you could stack quite a few up in a single space if you had some special application in mind. I remember that some folks were buying up lots of the Ames 4ft poly carts when Home Depot had the springtime sale on them for $20, simply to catch rainwater for gardening purposes. These would likely be great for that as well. I wish I’d bought more than the single one of the (non-stacking) Ames carts, which has been great for all kinds of tasks, despite living outside for 5 years…

RE: Walmart in-store clearance: Dollar Shave Club 4-Blade Razor Bundle, $2.47 (from $9.88) YMMV

Brickseek link: https://brickseek.com/walmart-inventory-checker/?sku=210232800
In my store, there was a whole endcap near the normal shaving supplies section that was loaded down with them, along with another 6-blade bundle variant that had a 3oz. “shaving butter” included, for $3.72. No prices posted anywhere!
4 blades is plenty enough for me!
NOTE: Brickseek prices were accurate (and lower) that what the walmart online price showed…!

4-Piece Bessey Clutch Clamp Set (2-12", 2-6") $14.97 w/ Free Store Pickup @ homedepot.com
Clutch Clamp Set (4-Piece) by BESSEY
These are nice quality clamps. Another possible candidate for the TCB $2.50 back on $10 purchase, if you haven’t already done that…
EDITED: The free shipping part evaporated already; but if you’re near a Home Depot store and need clamps, its an ok deal.

RE: Site is suffering from multiple deals posted "en masse" by the same user(s)
@ukedog Now that I’ve reflected on this a little, I think I’ve been a little harsh. I think it’s fine that somebody (anybody) wants to post a number of deals here.
I just think it could be done differently, in a way that would ultimately benefit everyone.For example, let’s say you know about a number of deals at one store/site.
Instead of posting each deal individually, how about a single deal post that names the store/site name with a brief list of the deal items?
And inside the body of that deal post could go all the deals, links, and as necessary individual details.Same approach for a bunch of deals from different store/sites but on a set of related items.
Benefits from this approach would be that such deal posts would likely get more upvotes, and perhaps more “replies” naming which deal item or items inside were of interest, and why.
-
Site is suffering from multiple deals posted "en masse" by the same user(s)
I’ve liked phatwalletforums since its debut, but recently its usefulness has diminished because of big rafts of deals, often questionable at that, posted by the same user(s).
Not naming names here, but that won’t require much investigation!The upshot is that diversity of deals suffer, and more desirable deal entries are pushed out of view.
If you try a workaround to sort by “most votes” (vs. newest), you end up seeing mostly deals that have long since expired, some as old 3 years.
I’m not sure what the fix is, whether limiting the number of deal posts possible per user per day, or providing a mechanism where you could prevent seeing any deal entries by a particular user, or what.
Just sayin’

Today ONLY, Free shipping, no minimum, D. Lawless Hardware
One of the best places for any sort of cabinet or other hardware, with great prices as well.
(think Restoration Hardware at 90% off, lol)
D. Lawless HardwareToday (only) they’re giving free shipping on all orders, plus 10% off site-wide with coupon code CYBER10
Free shipping normally requires a $50 order–which I’ve done before.Stuff I got was great, especially hard-to-find screws, magnetic catches, brackets, hooks, hinges, and whatnot. All the knobs and pulls in the universe.
Definitely an old-school website that can take some time to explore (TIP: on items or sub-menus, right-click and open in new window or tab)An interesting article about the company itself is here: https://www.infarrantlycreative.net/d-lawless-hardware/

RE: I just learned something about shopping on Amazon
I was interested in the same model, after deciding the Echelon Rower is likely not as durable (only 1 yr warrranty), plus their high app subscription cost. Plus I’ve used these at the YMCA and it’s a good workout. So I looked on Amazon, and currently through them it’s only from Amazon Marketplace sellers, with $1510 the lowest price to get one in October. Then I went to the Concept 2 site, and behold it shows up as $900; however, they have a waiting list you sign up for…7-8 weeks is their estimate. Plus $45 UPS ground. None on craigslist near me either. So I filled out their waiting list form (probably a mistake).
