Royal Oak 1 day sale at home depot

I'm all over that - thanks for the heads up!

The sale runs from 05/19 - 05/25, not one day.  Limit 10 bags per order.  You like how they reduced the weight of the bag, and kept the same price per bag?  Just like coffee and ice cream and a number of other things.  Still getting in on this deal though.  With the reduced weight, I'll have more space to store more bags.

@Lit -  thanks for the heads-up.  I use RO for any cook where all I need are BTU's, like paella.  Will buy some today.

Same sign was on the display of RO.  Said today only.  10 bag max.

Seeing two different things here.  The week ad says $12.97 for the week and the description says $7.88.

I'm gonna grab my 10! I'll definitely be able to put them to use, thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up.  I just went and got 5 bags....

Thanks for the heads up! Orderd a few to supplement my existing stock. Can't beat that price.

Yes they do. If I stop by HD today to get a few bags (they only have 50 in stock) and they don't have any because Ron got there first and bought all they had, I will not be happy.  Unhappy customers go across the street to Lowe's to purchase their home improvement supplies.  They are trying to get you into the store because of the low price on lump, but they know most will buy other items while they are there. Profit margin on the sale priced lump is not that great.  They will be making money on the other items you buy.

I know that - those are called loss leaders just to build traffic, but I was just saying outside of maybe the store manager I bet no other employee cares whether the same Joe buys 20 bags - that's all I was getting at.

Thanks... Grabbed 3 bags for shits and giggles

That's what put the old Home Quarters Warehouse "HQ" out of business in the 90's.  They would have those big "loss leader" blowout sales and a  big contractor would come clean out their entire shipment of sheathing, pavers, or whatever since it was cheaper than the contractor supply place.  Then the local smaller guy would come by to an empty shelf for the week, which sale or no sale, he needed.  They were bought out or merged with Builders Square, but the whole thing went under not too long after.

Also, I doubt there's any profit margin in this.  That's an incredible price for US made charcoal.  Knowing how much it costs to get from the forest to a store, that's an amazing price......load up while you can because someone is taking in the shorts on this one (manufacturer or retailer, or combination thereof.)

Thanks for the info-just ordered mine.

Boom. I've been wondering forever if there was ever going to be a royal oak sale again. Walmart used to do big sales but I haven't seen it there forever. Been 2-3 years since I had an RO deal so THANK YOU for the heads up. 10 bags ordered. lame though that they dropped the weight. still a good deal.
