@mistercheap Interesting. Can you provide a link to this offer, I’m guessing which would be somewhere at cvs.com ?

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/
