K-Mart has dropped their clearance prices in some locations, if not nationwide, on some of their lawn and garden tools. Thanks to mrdc who posted the lawn mower specials at K-Mart, I picked up two of their clearance mowers (Reg $309 for $77). While I was there getting the mowers, I noticed that the Craftsman Bushwacker Hedge trimmers were also reduced to almost giveaway prices. Their 22" 25cc gas hedge trimmer, which retails at Sears for about $200 is on sale for $40 (Item 7179635, SKU 02476101590). Another model with same specs, but different model # was $70. Their 20" electric Bushwacker (Item 7179952, SKU 02887751595) is only $15 (had been on clearance for $30 a couple of days ago). Companion 50 foot hoses were only $2.50 as noted in mrdc's post and were plentiful. YMMV and happy hunting! edit: Some stores also have Craftsman electric Edgers for $30 (one local store had them for $60)(Reg $120). SKU 02887741256. ...YMMV. Also, if you need a PM between K-Mart stores it completely depends on the CSR at the return desk and if she says "no", and whether you ask for the manager to make a command decision...I've had it go both ways --all depending upon luck of the draw of the CSR and manager. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. My local store has a policy of not adjusting or PMing clearance items. If the price has dropped at the same store, you can return it, wait for them to put it out for sale again, and then rebuy it at the lower price (if it is still available). A nice CSR will do all of that simultaneously for you --but most won't, requiring you to come back and take your chances that it hasn't been resold. Or you can just return it and buy it at another KM that has it at a lower price. I've also had some CSR's state that they will match Sears clearance prices (like on the Craftsman 7 1/4" circular saw for $10) and others say no to this. It is very much YMMV, even among local stores. |
