Here is the link to the item but this deal is only B&M.

Linky

Regular 59.99
Clearance 12.48

Awesome little fridge for road trips or even cold beverages at your PC. :) Comes with car adapter and regular plug.

These may be about sold out as I got the last at the one I went to. They also have a different brand one with a window on the front for 19.99. Regualar 49.99 I think.

Good Luck!!

::edit:: My first Hot Deal so go easy on me. :)

No, it's not a Sunday sale. Just in the clearance section around all of the marked down summer items. I'm in Columbus, Ohio.

Dangit, they have 'em here I tell ya. :) They actually had 3 of the 19.99 ones left. Maybe it's just at that store because they aren't selling there. It is in a booty neighborhood so maybe that's it. Hope someone else has some luck finding these things.

Found two of these at the Target in Harlingen, TX. Left one there. For some reason the $12.48 is only for the silver colored ones, not the black ones. Also, these were in the automotive department, not in the clearance section.

I wonder if Target would pricematch their own clearance items from another place. I've always wanted to get one of these mini-fridges but I'm too cheap to shell out $50+ for it.

Found one in Arlington, TX. Had to go to 2 targets. Look in automotive section. For me it was the rightmost (from front of store looking in) automotive aisle at both stores. Haven't tried it out yet. 12.48, I don't care if it works hehe. Also, price was not marked. At one store it said clearance but they had none, the other store it said 59.99 still but rang up at 12.48. Found a guy with a price thing and he checked for me.

Great find OP.

Just got 2 of them in the Detroit area. All the stores that were checked within a 20 mile area of me had 1 or more of the $12.98 ones in stock.

They work great and quiet too. :D

snagged one.

Almost got two, but the cashier looked so crestfallen that I was taking the last one (when he saw the price), that I let him have it.

It's not a deal ifyou don't need it.

Nice little unit for the price. nice solid feel to it.

Thanks again.

also the prices on the leathermen were great. 9.75 for the supersmall micra, and several of the large models were 1/2 price.

Man, the Targets in my area (Sacramento, CA) apparently aren't offering such a deal...plus even if they did, the silver ones were nowhere to be found. Well, I did find one but the box looked like it had been used for kickball or something...

Had to settle for the version that doesn't include AC adapter; other than that and cosmetics, the meaningful specs on the one I bought and the one at the top of this thread are more or less identical.

As far as whether the mini fridge actually works? Anecdotal evidence suggests that it does indeed adequately cool and warm products within specs, but the manual wasn't kidding when it stated that you had to let it run it for a while (at least two hours) before the fridge reaches operating cooling or heating temperature.

found one at the San Felipe target and left it there. no way worth the original retail price, but maybe useful for the $12.48 price.

NM.

I found 3 of the $29.99 ones (these do not come with the AC Adapter), they were marked down to $14.98, no luck on the better ones.

Yes, because everyone NEEDS one of these. I don't know how I make it through the day without it. I bought one and do not need it and barely even want it, but for 12.50, just in case I ever could use it, what the heck.

Thermoelectric system = peltier

peltier = cooler computer parts

cooler - peltier = still a cooler

So you can see, matter CAN be created. You start out with a cooler and end up with a peltier plus a cooler. ;)

I just picked one up. It's kind of noisy since it's peltier based instead of compressor driven and the fan makes noise.
