Anybody know why Walmart does not sell the accurtie thermometer anymore?

I've always used the accurite thermometers from Walmart and can't seem to find them in any store near me. Hmmm... They seem to have replaced it with this newer model that does not have a probe. It's more of a wireless part that comes with it now. Is this just my location? Any help would be appreciated. I need one!

People have died after using them is what BG heard. Something about mercury poisoning.

ps. BG could be full of it and not have a clue why.;):D

They sell them at my local Walmarts. No clue.

I just bought a bunch from Lowes a few days ago. Check around the lawn equipment and garden area.

My local WalMart still has them! Try Lowe's or HomeDepot.. maybe even Target :confused:

Thanks. I was unaware that Lowe's or Home Depot carried them. I think I should just invest in a temp gun.

maybe they moved them due to the seasons changing?? sometimes stuff gets moved around in my walmart for the seasons, like some bug spray and other gardening-related stuff. but yeah lowes and home depot definitely have them in the section with the bird feeders and stuff

Yea I just bought one yesterday and they had been moved. Used to e in gardening and I found em yesterday in the hardware section.

Mine use to be in the hardware section. Maybe they got moved to gardening. ;)

I just bought 2 last week at walmart - maybe the store near you is out of stock.
