Will these lights go on sale after Christmas, so I can stock up for next year?

Thanx,

Its hard to beat Wal-Mart's after Christmas sale.  When regular minis hit about .60 cents that's the bottom I think. Also dont assume since the store or two closest to you is wiped out that other stores are too.  It's all about the neighborhood.  My 2 closest stores were dry but another 20 minutes away they had a goldmine leftover.

.60 cents for LED mini's?!?

That would be for regular minis.

The LED's went after Christmas for somewhere between 4 and 8 bucks.

I bought blue and white 70 count LED minis at $1.20 in my nearby K-Mart stores during after Christmas sales.

Of course I emptied 2 stores

Ahhh but those are likely half wave. Not really noticable until you dim them (They'll flicker)

Nice find though

How can you tell if they are half wave or not? I had seen some at target this past week that were 6 bucks for 60ct mini led's but was hesitant to pick any up for the fact that they don't dim well.

what is the current prices for 100 count regular mini's like in the US.  Here in Canada I can't find 100 regular mini's for under 9.00.  I think I need to make a trip down to Bellingham and find a Target or Walmart.  Could anybody in the Washington area let me know how prices are doing and if any stores are currently stocking lights.
Thanks

The target by my house in the Atlanta area has the 100 minis for $2.49 in target brand or $4.49 in Phillips brand.

Just found that Lowe's is selling 100ct wide angle LEDs (half-wave) for 10.47 and each purchase of these lights come with a 10-OFF-50 Coupon. So I can essentially walk out of the door at Lowe's with 500ct LED lights for around 46 bucks (including tax).

can you let us in on the secret of finding the coupon
Thanks

[sirwesley]

I just walked in. Found these lights and there was a Coupon inside of the box.  They were advertising it.  Almost as if they want to get rid of the Flicker (half-wave) LEDs

Sadly they don't have solid colors though.  I'm manually going through strand by strand and converting them all to one color.
