time to put away and perform 10 months of planning and attempt to top this years display

a wise man once said if you know many lights you have installed you don't have enough

but i'm adding approximately 1k $ worth of lights for next year that cost was at 50% off and all my honda accord would hold trunk and front seat

i got the lights at walmart and target and a light hoarder that wanted to sell some

Wow, I didn't know places still have overstock like this.  I reminds me of the good ol' days of Christmas clearance sales!

I sure hope I can find some deals at Home Depot and lowes while I'm out and about today.

My replacement stock was healthy,  so I didn't make the usual day after Christmas rounds. But by the second day, I just couldn't stand it any longer and went on a tour of my favorite "honey holes". Hit about 20 stores; some only had one box, others had a few more.
I can't stand the thought of paying retail prices, ever, so I spent a couple hundred bucks and filled up the back seat.
Here are some examples of the LED  prices I found:
White net lights 70ct - $7
Red, Green and Blue C6 50ct strings  - $5.49
Red, Green and Blue "traditional smooth incan" shaped LEDs (Sylvania) 50ct strings  - $5.99
Pink and Purple C6 60ct strings -$4.25

What's that "Spectacular Light and Sound Show" box against the roof of your car? I thought we on this forum were all beyond these sorts of products?!?
