Andydeal1 paid $0.21 for nearly $1,800 in smoke and CO detectors
Almost 1800 worth not a bad haul let about 5 behind for someone else
This is the haul that proves the whole point of penny shopping. Andydeal1 walked into a Home Depot on April 29, 2026, scanned a single SKU that had dropped to a penny, and rang up 21 two-packs of Universal Security Instruments combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at the register. Each two-pack retails for $79.99. That is 42 detectors total at $0.01 each.
The cart in the parking lot. 21 USI combo smoke and CO detector 2-packs at $0.01 each.
The Home Depot app showed the regular price for these detectors when you searched the SKU. $79.99 per two-pack. The shelf price was $79.99. The app price was $79.99. The only place the penny price showed up was the register.
Andydeal1's Discord post. App shows $79.99 retail. The cart is full. Register total: $0.21.
The receipt is brutal. USI Combo 10 YR Battery W/Voice 2PK, 21@0.01. Subtotal $0.21 for the detectors. Andydeal1 also added a bottle of Arm and Hammer detergent, which was not on penny pricing, bringing the full transaction to $13.00. The detector portion alone was $0.21 paid for $1,679.79 in retail value.
Andydeal1's quote says the rest. "Almost 1800 worth not a bad haul let about 5 behind for someone else." He left detectors on the shelf for the next member.
Receipt close-up. 21 two-packs at $0.01 each.
Universal Security Instruments are name-brand detectors with a 10-year sealed battery, voice alarm, and combination smoke and CO sensing. They retail at hardware stores and online for $79.99 to $89.99 a two-pack. Andydeal1's haul covered 42 detectors. Enough for an entire apartment building, a contractor side-business, or 20-plus rental properties.

TokenJack walked out with a Glacier Bay Hampton vanity for $0.01
Finally got my penny vanity!
TokenJack had been hunting a penny vanity for a while. On April 29, 2026, at 5:53 PM, he found one. A Glacier Bay Hampton 30 inch white vanity cabinet, model 877 517, dropped to $0.01 in the system. He paid one cent and walked out with it.
In the truck bed. Glacier Bay Hampton 30 inch vanity, paid $0.01.
The receipt shows it cleanly. SKU 094803082202, Hampton 30" WHT VNTY CAB, $0.01. Subtotal $0.01. Sales tax $0.00. Total $0.01. Charged to a Visa.
Receipt close-up. One vanity, $0.01 total.
The Glacier Bay Hampton 30 inch vanity retails at Home Depot for around $450 depending on the configuration. It is a full vanity cabinet with doors and an interior shelf, ready to drop a sink top onto. Plumbers, contractors, and DIY home flippers buy these by the dozen on penny pricing because the margin on resale or installation jobs is unreal.
The aisle where Hampton vanities live at Home Depot.
This is one of the highest-margin penny categories. Vanities, cabinets, and tile drop to a penny when product lines refresh or finishes change. The shelf price almost never updates. The Home Depot app usually shows the SKU as unavailable. The only way to confirm it is to ring it up at the register, which is exactly what TokenJack did.
Paid $0.01 / Retail $450

Alfredo bought 2 Husky rolling toolboxes for $0.02
Penny item Ya regresé deal soldier gracias por todo
Alfredo posted in his native Spanish: "Penny item, I'm back, Deal Soldier, thank you for everything." On April 29, 2026, at 3:42 PM, he found two Husky rolling toolboxes on the same trip. Both rang up at $0.01 at self-checkout.
In the parking lot. Husky Large Mobile Job Box on top, Husky Medium Rolling Toolbox underneath.
The receipt has both items in plain text. SKU 840254200821, Husky Large Rolling Toolbox with Tray, $0.01. SKU 840254200814, Husky Medium Rolling Toolbox, $0.01. Subtotal $0.02. Sales tax $0.00. Total $0.02. Paid by debit, verified by PIN.
Receipt close-up. Two Husky toolboxes at $0.01 each. $0.02 total.
The Husky Large Rolling Toolbox with Tray retails at Home Depot for around $129. The Medium Rolling Toolbox runs $79 to $99. Alfredo paid two cents for roughly $200 in storage. Tools, especially Husky-branded toolboxes and storage products, hit penny pricing at Home Depot regularly when product lines refresh or packaging gets updated.
Paid $0.02 / Retail near $200

pretty goo penny haul today, over $1,000 retail easily between 3 ceiling fans, 55 pieces of wall tile and a massive rug
Tylernap pulled three separate Home Depot trips in a single morning on April 29, 2026, working different SKUs as they dropped to penny pricing through the system. Three receipts, three categories, three penny windows, all caught.
The full cart staged at the storage unit. Rug, 3 ceiling fans, tile, and air vents.
The first trip was tile. Five porcelain mosaic and subway tile SKUs, including Hex Bottiicino, Calacatta Lacatta, Ivory Light Mosaic, and Hex Calacatta varieties. 55 pieces of wall tile across multiple SKUs. The receipt totals $0.58.
Tylernap's full Discord post. Cart and three receipts in one collage.
The second trip was the air vents and the rug. 4 In-Line Air Vents at $0.01 each, plus a Marash Red 8 by 10 foot rug at $0.01. Total $0.05. The Marash Red is a full 8 by 10 area rug. That alone retails for $300 to $500 depending on the variant.

Across three receipts on a single morning, Tylernap paid $0.66 total for one rug, three ceiling fans, four air vents, and 55 pieces of porcelain wall tile. Conservative retail value was over $1,000. Tylernap's quote sums it up. "Pretty good penny haul today, over $1,000 retail easily."
This is what strategic penny shopping looks like when a member knows exactly when SKUs drop. Three trips, three windows, three full hauls.
