Another Big Box Store Score!!!

While the Samsung Fridge was an unbelievable deal, this one ain't bad either:





40 Volt Husqvarna 18 inch chain saw.


Just cut down two 12 inch trees and broke 'em down into fire wood with one charge. Impressive.


Retails for over $450, on clearance for $114, got it for $75. Helps to make friends with the ASM…

When rollerball gets unbanned, ask him about the AA discount.

Thats an insane deal for a Huskqvarna, but you actually dodged a bullet with the Samsung Fridge. I have heard nothing but horror stories from those things. They may look fancy and futuristic, but the damn things do seemingly everything but keep the food cold. Anything that is sitting on the refrigerated shelf closest to the freezer will freeze and even when the damn thing breaks within warranty you need approval from Congress to get a refund, and even THEN they just want to give you the part to be fixed and make you pay out of pocket for the actual repair.

When it comes to heavy use appliances (washer/drier/refrigerators) its best to keep it simple. They may not look as fancy, or have any fancy bells and whistles like a built in touch screen tablet calendar, but they'll last you for a long time.

My parents have a fridge in their garage that was my grandparents refrigerator from the 1970's and it still running to this day. but the LG Fridge in their house has had to be repaired and replaced twice within 10 years. There's clearly some "planned obsolescence" engineered into it make people spend more money.

The earlier Samsungs were notorious for failures, especially their ice makers. I had one. The newer Bespoke model is getting good reviews from users and techs.

It seems they have cracked the code.

See above. Full disclosure: All of my deals happen at Lowe's. I don't know if HD is as flexible.

Or so i've heard, Its kinda too late for me. Its like Hyundai. Their cars from the 90's-early 2000's were notoriously atrocious, but now they're apparently much better, but i'm not going to take that chance until they can consistently show that they've learned (multiple models with good reviews) from their mistakes.

Certainly not pro-grade, but for residential purposes, it ain't bad and it's kinda nice not have to wear ear protection.

I have a small stihl ms170 that’s been running like a champ for years, those battery yard tools don’t last long, the battery costs almost as much as the equipment itself. Just buying a replacement battery every couple of years turns me off.
I love eggs.

All true, but for $75 It'll do what I need and then I'll probably sell it for $150. Win.
