    Lowes PC690 Router ($33 after rebate)

    I was at the Santee Lowe's in San Diego and they had one PC 690 rounter left. It was marked to $58. I bought the router and them went to the PC website and found out there is a $25 rebate. Net cost is $33 dollars before tax. My HP all in one just took a dump after one year of little use, so I can not scan the reciept. On a different note, I will have to buy a new all in one with the savings I made on this router. There is a posting on woodnet forum of someone scoring as well on this deal.

    If you have a digital camera, you could also photograph the receipt. Most cameras have a close-up ("flower") mode.
    Never met a bargain I didn't like.

      Here is a link to another thread...different forum that contains pictures of a $59.60 router. I will also take a picture after my young uns go to bed and try to post it here...

        Scored one for 58.64 at the Naperville, IL store. Last one I am pretty sure. I searched high and low and found 1 hidden high up. Could not find any more. Asked the tool manager. he said the computer showed it as the last one in stock. Got 4 routers now and I have not used a singe one yet. Go figure!

            pretty soon I will use them. I am building a table for the Hitachi M12V this weekend. And I will be doing some drawers for that using the new porter cable. So, finally I will get to use 2 of them.

              Just got home from the local Lowes and i now have the last one in Idaho for $58!

              The regional manager just happened to be in the store and looked it up in the computer she was griping how that is way below thier cost but that another store sold one for that price so she would honor it.

              I guess next friday when i get paid i will be making a donation to thie site as a small thank you to all who are so gracious as to help us all save sooooo much money!

              Now its off to PC web site to apply for that $25 rebate.

                Forget the router, how about that price on the bucket?

                ...sorry, couldn't resist!

                  I think you misunderstand. The saying is "You can never have enough clamps" not routers

                      for the people who have too much time on their hands - there's a 5 Gal bucket itemized on the receipt in the photo (as well as the router) - $4.98

                          Actually, you can... since my cat population recently increased, I am now getting one of the TidayCat litter buckets every month or so.

                              OK, So I paid $5 for a bucket

                              I needed a bucket ASAP to water/fertilize newly planted trees and I did not have time to search for a deal. The funny thing is, a week later, my neighbor set out some very clean 5 gallon paint buckets out on the curb.... I guess timing is everything.
