Cheap Timers at Lowe's!

I don't know if it's just at my local Lowe's or all of them, but I found these timers for 95 cents!



I bought 5, and they had about 12 more..... the covers over the timer dial are broken on most. Just thought I'd share the info.

If anyone wants one I'd be glad to ship some out.

I'm going to Lowe's tomorrow...
I was just looking in the phone book (yea, old fashion) for an electrical supplier in my area so I could find a good power strip with a timer for my lights.

Great timing.
Thanks

I got one of those at Lowe's a while back...
I like the CoraLife timers better because they have two night light plugs and two day light plugs, rather than 4 daylight plugs.

I bet their cheap quality too. I wouldn't trust em, but Ikea has these same timers for the same price.

You know what they say. "You get what you pay for."
I wouldn't risk your tank with them.
