Found a clearance bin trick at my local hardware store that saved me $40
Last Saturday I stopped by Ace Hardware near downtown and noticed they mark down returned tools and open boxes by 50% just to clear shelf space. I grabbed a barely used stud finder that was $80 new for $40, and it works perfectly after I tested it on my living room wall. Has anyone else had luck asking stores when they refresh their clearance sections, or is this just a Saturday morning thing?
Half off on a stud finder that was barely used? That's almost too good to be true. Thirty seconds on that thing and you'd know if it had been dropped or messed with. Most people return tools because they're broken or they bought the wrong thing, so finding one that works perfect is like winning a tiny lottery. I'd go back and ask when they put out new returns, because that deal sounds like a fluke, not a regular thing. Just don't get greedy and expect that kind of luck every weekend.
