Be gentle, my first deal posted.
Was at the local Home Depot in SoCal looking for wire connectors. Oddly, there were some in aisle 15, but the website said aisle 13. There were a bunch more there. So they have these in two different locations in the store. (Maybe different types of wire connectors?)
Anyway, these are similar to the Wago, these are In Sure and they had 10 packs of the 2 port, 3 port, and 5 port with yellow tags.
In-sure 2 pt lever wire conn, 10/bag $1.93 was $7.48
In-sure 3 pt lever wire conn, 10/bag $2.23 was $8.46
In-sure 5 pt lever wire conn, 10/bag $2.83 was $10.98
I did not check brickseek, but the HD website does not show them on sale.
Oh, the yellow label had a date of 11/27/23, not sure what that date is for.

Summary: the In-Sure actually has a little more resistance than Wago, but a little better hold on the wire.
Anyone bumping into aluminum branch circuit wiring should skip the IDEAL purple wirenuts hanging nearby these lever connectors and pick up some AlumiConn connectors (also, fortunately, in the same section at HD). The bad news is that you're going to have to make a one-time purchase of a torque screwdriver (usually in the range of $30-60). The good news is that you'll sleep easy about your aluminum wiring connections. Though not as simple as these IDEAL lever connectors, the connections using an AlumiConn are similarly satisfying vs. the unknowns of what's under a wire nut (and completely avoid the insomnia you might develop around galvanic corrosion [wikipedia.org]).
Good luck!

To be fair, IDEAL makes a lot of things at Home Depot, plenty of which don't even carry the IDEAL branding. They were the ones actually making the light bulbs Home Depot sold under Cree branding.
Good luck!

That's a small quantity, but it's also better than the "brick seek shows small quantity which means none in store"
I don't do quite enough DIY to need extras, but at that discount and price, it was tempting to get more.
