Found the 22" gas at Waterloo, IA KMart after much searching around. High on a shelf in the garden section. Tag said $159, got a clerk to pull it down, checked at CS $40. Had one left. Got home and fired that mother up and made short work of the dreaded hedge trimming chore. Had a Bushwacker electric, but hated hauling cords, plus I've cut a few in half during the heat of battle. Thanks OP

bossofyou said:Went to the Canton, GA store this AM. They had moved all the garden center stock to the area outside electronics. They had some patio furniture, and little else. The garden center was closed, filled with Christmas stock waiting to be displayed. They hadn't a shovel or rake in the place. The Marietta store had a lot of leftovers. I picked up two of the electric hedge trimmers at $7 each, and one gas at $28. Also bought a small Black & Decker blower for $4.90, and an electric "stree lamp" for $17. Found the 50' hoses in a box, and bought four at $2.45 each. They had some mowers, but the only one I scanned was $250, as marked. Really wanted the edger, but this store didn't have any. Went to the Roswell store. It's undergoing a remodel. They have their entire store on sale, and some of the garden center stock was as much as 50%+ off, but their hedge trimmers were at full price. The gas model I bought for $28 was $159.99 at the last store, and the $7 models were $39.99. Thanks, OP.

I went to the Marietta store - no hedge trimmers left, electric or gas. This store has the most stuff left of the three that I have gone to. Most of it is chemicals / fertilizer that does not appear to be on sale. No long handle tools on sale. Had several different models of lawn mowers, but I did not scan them. I did look for the $95 and $77 model numbers noted in other threads, none of them. A couple of chainsaws left, and 3 gas blowers that were regular price. 3 or so gas weed trimmers, did not scan them.

Thanks, OP! Picked up 1 of 2 on Sunday for self, then picked up the last one today for the neighbor. This is in Long Island, NY.

Finally scored on the GAS Trimmer!!! There is 3 more units left in the SFV Kmart

YES it scanned 80 bucks yesterday went back today and it scanned 40. I wonder if the gas blower is discounted or if the Lawn Mowers are discounted. .Imma going to check it out tomorrow.

Silly

Absolutely. . .. why dont you lay flat on your back and let me get my newly bought trimmer out

Silly

There's a string trimmer lying around the Kmart here with no box, and no UPC. The mgr said it was $89 and put an $89 sticker on it. I wonder if it had a UPC, if it might ring up for less.

Do your travels take you to Alpharetta? If so, how about picking me up the gas hedge trimmer and meeting me? PM me if this is something you would be interested in doing for a fellow FW member.

It appears there are two maybe three models discussed in this thread. Do you know which they had?

checked Redwood City, CA store, none there, but i lucked out finding a 18" bushwacker hiding behind some christmas tree boxes at the San Mateo, CA store. Rang up 7 bucks + tax =)

I went to the San Leandro KMart yesterday just scouting around and did a price check on two of their hedge trimmers that had been on clearance, to see if they were marked down further. Surprise! They aren't on clearance anymore!? Very much a YMMV on these now. Apparently individual stores have pricing flexibility.
