Since a lot of us took the plunge in homebuying recently, here is a thread where I want to start for home improvement deals.  I will be posting stuff I find (ala slickdeals) and also stuff I stumble upon.  Please contribute any deals you find as well.

For the first deal...
http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/82138/sears.com-craftsman-30-poly-leaf-rake

Leaf rake for $9, craftsman too.  Plenty available for pickup at local sears.  Just in time for the recent windstorm.  Sign up for shopyourwayrewards, they randomly give you free points.  I got an email the other day saying they're giving me 3000 points ($3) to spend on anything.  I got the leaf rake for $6 because of it.
 
I've been going on cardpool.com and plasticjungle.com for Home Depot and Lowe's gift cards.  They're usually 7% off, so covers most of the sales tax.  You can "stack" these gift cards with the 10% off mover's coupon to net about 17% off.  Also picked up some Pottery Barn cards @ 10% off, these are readily available and can also be used at PB Kids and Williams Sonoma.

Ceiling fans at Home Depot, free ship, thinking about this one for $100

some good black friday deals coming up.  I'm interested in a grill, gas. no more than 3 burners, any recommendations?

18v Dewalt drills are on sale for $99.
 
Here's a Bosch Li-ion drill with 2 batteries and charger for 99.00.

Stack with mover's coupon and gift card from cardpool/plasticjungle and get it for under 100.00 out the door.  I would pick this up if I wasn't already invested in another brand's cordless system.
 
close out price, as the new model is out.

That said, it is a weird drill.  half inch, but not a hammer drill, no side handle, comes with small battery packs, no LED light.

but the biggest drawback is even as a "does everything" drill, it iss a fixed speed, not variable.  Typically, for smaller projects that this drill might be appropriate for, i want to use a low RPM to seat the screw (usiing it a driver), not go full out, which one might do in construction, for instance.

 
I think it was an error.. the order doesn't go through anymore. I shared it with a friend, and she couldn't order. Checked back, it doesn't add anything to cart. But when I ordered, it went through, I even got a confirmation email.. Hopefully it worked :)
 
Anyone got a cancelation call yet? SD updates say lot of people got cancelation calls..
Tch Tch..can't get a deal I can brag about now!
 
Got a cancelation email. Not even a gift card! Not even a coupon!

Dear Customer,

Due to an error, one or more of the Artistic Weavers brand rugs you ordered on Lowes.com were incorrectly listed as $10. Therefore, your order(s) will be canceled and any charges for these items will be refunded to the original form of payment. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have questions regarding your order(s), please contact us at the number below.

Thank you,

Boo...too good to be true, my cash back thru ebates.com is still at $3 (for 5 rugs)...hmmm maybe next time I'll order 500 rugs (knowing they will cancel) and pocket the $300 cash back.
 
I've been using Sears ShopYourWay MAX program for a few months now and thought it's a cheap way to get some cheap/free tools for the house.

It's Sears version of Amazon Prime AYCE free shipping...  costs $79 but free to try for 90 days.  Many people at slickdeals reports that they will automatically grant you a trial extension if you choose not to continue.  So far I've gotten my trial extended by 6 months.  They just email me that they're extending it, nothing I have to do on my part.  Good thing about the program is that they randomly assign you free money to use in purchases.  Usually a couple dollars... but able to pick up tool bags, garden tools, etc. for a good price.  Factor in the time saving free shipping and it's a no brainer.  Just got a Craftsman 13" tool bag for $0.37 shipped after applying the free $4 credit they just put into my account.  Craftsman bottle opener is always a good buy/gift.. essential for any new home owner.
