agree, walmart has some decent crap out there. lots of fiskers trimmers and stuff on clearance there as well. Picked up 2 for around $3 each - looks like some of the locals got most before I did as there were 2-3 empty display boxes. my local one made it a bit tricky this year. Some stuff was in the clearance isle and some was still in the garden center isles.
Shit, one of the stores near me has them at $0.50...although every time I try to find something like this there, it's gone.
