Dollar Tree sells these, there was suppose to be a limit, but the cash register didn't impose it
wow, this is pretty cool. usually i just let the peripherals just stay on standby or fully on, but now every device shuts down automatically about 15 seconds after i shutdown the PC.
to use it, just plug the PC into the master and the speakers, printer, monitor, external drives, and HDD docking station, etc... into slave plugs. (there are 7 outlets in total).
at 1.25 these are bargains

Unfortunately no so can only use 3 of the 7 outlets near my bed stand. For me those power saving functions are counter intuitive since I have an All in One pc.
Yesterday I was in a Dollar tree picking up snacks and killing time while my alignment was getting done and scored last 12 of these for $1.25 each !! Had to confirm price and the nasty, rude Oklahoma DT employee told me in her nasty southern slang, Annoyed, Obnoxious tone that they were $1.25 each and 12 was the limit per customer
Luckily I was able to return the 2 PK ONN surge protectors @ Walmart that I no longer needed for $12 refund lol he he

These power strips, and the Sunbeam LED desktop lamp, in black and in white, at DT are Funded/Subsidized by energy companies.
So, you're paying the 1.25$, and they're paying the 4.75$ to get it to you …. I do not know the exact Subsidy amount, but, OBVIOUSLY: It's impossible to make those power strips for under a Dollar.
To me more Concise: The power company Consumer is paying the Subsidy
Why do they do it?
"Energy efficiency".
I'm no E Engineer, but I suspect that the power strips can be SAFELY modified, so the Master plug does not have to be creating amps for the other plugs to be Live.
Not I'm not brave enough to try, then come home to see my house burned down 😂🤣😂🤣😂
My local DT currently has Prang 36 color pencils for 1.25$ that are 7$ at Walmart.
DT here also has miniature Buzz Lighter star fighters by Hot Wheels …. Originally they were 7$.
When you see something not made by "Chesapeake Bay", then it's not made by DT, and might be a Good buy
Happy hunting!!! And, Congrats, again on your 12 strips 👍

I know OGE subsidizes GE home LED bulbs !! Bought 5 4 packs @ walmart for $2 each !!! But had no clue on these power strips or desk lamp ?? No signs @ DT about subsidizing like @ Walmart with the bulbs.

And I've had mine for over a year …. Got them in late 2021.
You got an Auto shop?
Got a few Project cars, myself … '58 Apache, '69 Mach 1, '70 Challenger, etc….
But I'm not no ASE, Legit Mechanic.
Retired.
Yes, thank you: I forgot about the subsidized light bulbs … you got yours at WM??
DT also has subsidized LED bulbs.
I'm thinking that DT buys the Sunbeam item at full price, and then sends the power company proof that they sold them, getting a check from the power company ….. just like manufacturer's Coupons work.
When I found these strips @ DT, I took an entire case to checkout …. Go Big or Go Home, right?
…. AND: Pricing was still 1 Dollar, then
My luck (bad luck) a Manager was running the till.
He explained the power company Subsidy to me.
…. and about the 7 limit.
I went to many stores, finding the lamps and the bulbs and more strips.
Yeah, I gave my bros a few strips, and still have some.
Nice that you shared your Good Fortune with Others 👍👍
You got lucky: you got 12 in 1 buy 👍👍
Be on the look out for LED desk lamps
Whenever you're at a DT store, you might wanna ask, "Hey! Do you ever get plug-in desk lamps? They have a bendy-neck, and come in white or black."
HAPPY HUNTING!!
