    Thermometer

    I cannot for the life of me, find a thermometer/hygrometer around where I live. I looked at walmart and they didn't even carry thermometers. I am looking on Lowes.com right now with my zip code and NOTHING. Haven't tried home depot yet. I may just have to go through acurite's website, though I don't want to. =(

    Why does no one carry thermometers with probes around me. I must live in a bad area or something.

    Did you check by the lightbulbs/ air conditioner filters at Wall*Mart?

    (I know that you said That you checked there but they are in a really weird place)

    I *think* we checked there but not sure. We looked through the whole store and even asked. They said if they had any they would be in garden and they weren't there. But I KNOW they had thermometers a few years ago because I remember seeing them. I think if I do get one online I will go through Amazon since I can get the rest of the stuff I need on there. I didn't even think about Amazon though. haha I forgot about it.

    Thanks! I'm still going to check the hardware stores in person though because I know they carry different things in store than online.

    Would this be a good thermometer to get?

    Yeah a Wally World the thermometers are in the Home section near the light stuff not in the garden center. Took me a while to find them as well.

    Why the heck would they put them in the light section? hmmm. Well I'll most likely be going back to walmart in the next couple days so I can check again. =) But in the mean time in case they REALLY don't carry them then I would like a back up. haha

    Amazon is your best bet. They sell the same Accurite.

    That's practically the same thermometer so if they actually don't have them at your local Wall*Mart, The one in the link will work just as well.
