Ok I visited my local Home Depot tonight and here's what I found:
A LOT OF STUFF MARKED 40% OFF!!!
Walked into the SE 82nd Ave Home Depot in Portland, Oregon (close to Clackamas) after visiting the next door Linen N Things where I successfully used a
$5 off $15 coupon
Go to your right, there's a small cluster of yellow baloons with clearance stuff there. There are also clearance items through out the entire store, just look for a YELLOW tag or YELLOW BALOON.
Here's an example of the stuff I found:
GE 2.4 GHz cordless phone (model 27910GE1) was $39.90, clearanced down to $37 less 40% =
$22.20 final price
Black & Decker VersaPak 7.2V Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (model VPD850K) clearance priced at $39.97 less 40% =
$23.98 final price
Black & Decker FireStorm 12.0V (model CD431K) clearance priced at $65.97 less 40% =
$39.58 final price
Manager Mid Back Fabric Chair (model 612-HF) clearance priced at $89 less 40% =
$53.40 final price
Home Depot was busy but it was no where near chaotic like a Staples or OfficeMax would be during a huge sale. If you haven't gone to Home Depot definitely go there Friday night because the outside sign clearly states NO RAINCHECKS. The Black & Decker stuff was flying off the shelves, when I first walked in there were 20 units when I left there were 9 left. 11 sold within a period of 60 minutes, that's fast!
Hope this info helps some of you.
