I checked Lee Valley ad it was the strangest collection of stuff I've ever seen them offer, not much elsewhere either. Anyone find anything worthy? I don't need anything, but I'm always looking for deals.

Haven't been looking, shops closed for the season. 

Haven't seen much offered.  Isn't anything I'm looking for either so it's a wash.

Wouldn't have "Anywhere" to put anything anyway.

Same here. As always, when your tongue sticks to the steel tools, not warm enough.

I still can carve out some room for that Delta BS you rescued from the curb. That should free up some space for you.

My tool purchases were sales on basic sockets and sets for my son's tool collection.   Will post pictures when they arrive.   

Not necessarily tools but I found a lot of odds and ends on Aliexpress for real cheap. Zip ties, craft paint, Cordless tire inflater, Stereo ( yes very cheap but sounds better than the old one ). I think most of us have reached the point if we need it we need it sale or no sale and we already have most of it anyway.

 I suspect that's very true!

Ended up buying a few items from Peachtree Woodworking. This post jogged my memory I'd received an email prior to Thanksgiving offering a number of items up to 80% off plus Free Shipping over $50. I'll post some pictures when it arrives.

 Don't tell SWMBO that, she'd probably send me with it and the rest of it. 

no looking to buy anything for the shop, nor for Christmas.  sales?  that's nice dear, doesn't affect me.  i did buy some window film to help seal up leaky windows for a lady, should have that stuff in hand tomorrow, then we'll head to her house next week and help tighten things up a bit.

Was at Menards today for a few items. Picked up a sale circular at the cart corral.

 

These jumped into the cart. $2.99/ea; BOGO; 8 for the price of 4. Hope I remember where I put them come May

Now who is the "Bandit"

 I prefer "Curb Shopping", much better deals.
