Born in a hollow log.
A big YMMV but some stores are clearing these out for as low as $1.46, down from $37.00.
I watched them get reduced to $5 something first, then finally to $1.46…
There were also “Wash Your Hands” and “Wear A Mask” editions, but I lost out on those, LOL.
Brickseek on the above mat (note they all show up priced full retail online).
Maybe the biggest YMMV is living close to a Lidl store, a German-owned company opening stores in the eastern U.S.
Bigger stores than Aldi, almost supermarket size, but like Aldi sells non-grocery items at discount prices in the center section (note: with constantly changing stock). My first time in one, and I’ll be back for groceries and more.
Any how, among those center aisle items were an assortment of “Parkside” brand tools, including items such a $40 electric pressure washer and a $20 belt sander.
I searched and found some youtube reviews of the belt sander, a model PBSD600A1, that were pretty favorable.
Can’t find a Lidl product link to it, but did find a link to on the U.K. Amazon site: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084Z1YHPW
Anyway, $20 for a new belt sander is pretty amazing. Not sure about Lidl’s return policy though, in case it’s total crap, e.g. can’t track well, etc.
Finally, I’d post this on the big, mean dealsite, but way too many Milwaukee and Dewalt fanboys over there.
Totally “serious professionals” that insist only on certain colors of Chinese made tools with the correct logos on them.
@c3 Thanks for the screenshot. As a Plus member, I only see/saw “Welcome, [my name]” at that spot at the top.
Not only that, but here on the 15th, I’m not seeing any Ink Rewards, despite recycling 20 cartridges in June (see below).
Now I’m wondering if my “ink or toner spend in last 180 days”, which shows as $30.48, doesn’t qualify for some reason?
No doubt I used some coupon to hit that, but would they show you some pre-coupon amount on this page, of all pages?
Guess I need to check later today, and if the same thing call Staples support for more info…
@ctgolfer Approaching the cost of doing laundry (figuring in water, detergent, energy). Why do I find that depressing?
@c3 Not to belabor this (although I guess I am), I’m not seeing this ink rewards info on my rewards page, logged in as a “Plus” member.
That is, https://www.staples.com/grs/rewards/sr/rewardscenter any tab selected, including “Ink & toner recycling”.
So I’m wondering now if only “Premium” members get the skinny on exactly when the ink rewards ship comes in?
@ctgolfer My high school science teacher had our class go out into the hallway and stretch these out in order to demonstrate wave reflections.
More memorable than trying to get one “walk” down some stairs, to me anyway.
@my4mainecoons Ok thanks, maybe just my T-day dyslexia then (I thought Tuesdays were a T-Mobile thing)
@scooter0754 Although today (7/8/2021) is the second Thursday of the month, I did not get ink rewards today.
In a chat session, I was told it would be next week, 7/15 before they were awarded. YMMV…?
@mistercheap I’m also seeing 13% off on Cricket Wireless and AT&T prepaid phone cards. https://giftcards.kroger.com/promotions
