Christmas Tree Shop near me usually has them, but they only had 12ft. ones @$1.99. I know I can cut them in half, but I like the triple tap at the end.

Well, if you don't mind spending the extra penny, Dollar Tree has them this time of year.

I have a bunch that I would like to get rid of, but the postage would bump the price up too high.  LOL

+1.   

I fondly remember the days of scouring deals on these and still tend to look for curiosity's sake but have not seen any near a buck.  More like $1.69...  Home Depot always used to have a combo pack of 6, 9, and 12 for like $5, maybe they still do.

Dollar store was my source, but big lot prices were not bad.

yea, but trying to find 16 that are at least similar would be almost impossible.

Dollar tree I stopped at tonight didn't have a single AC extension cord in the store, matter of fact they appear to have gotten rid of almost all housewares and tools in favor of more gift bags!

Stopped at big lots and they have extension cords with the triple tap at the end for $2.00 each, not sure I want triple taps on the ends x 16.

Will try another dollar tree.  Spent tonight looking on ebay and ali-express, not finding female vamp style plugs on cables..

Stop #4  Homedepot has 6' triple tap ends for $1.47 each.  Best deal so far, especially if you make them match lowes 5% with their credit card.

Will check another dollar tree this evening and maybe a Salvation Army  goodwill like store tomorrow!

Although I wanted just a single female end cord, the other dollar tree had green six footer triple taps for 1.00 so I picked up 30 of them.

With what you spent on gas driving around you could have bought them at the first stop you made and saved money.  I do the driving around looking all the time.  And then I buy stuff I was not looking for.  What a hobby.  LOL

Well the gas wasn't any extra because I did it to and from other places I had to go anyways, it was the mistake of taking the wife with me into the dollar store!  That cost me at least the difference and then some!

A very kind person here helped me out greatly with the cords I needed, but I just saw in a Planet Christmas post that Menards has 6' cords for 88 cents and thought I would pass it along.
