I also try to buy something else, while picking up the free
light. It seems to be the polite thing to do. The one I got
a couple days ago, was black. They had been doing the red
and blue ones for a while.

I've learned to put the battery pack in backwards. The
switch is easy to bump and turn on, and then it's dead or
corroded (or both) when you need it.

Pitch the provided batteries in the trash if you don't use
them in a few days. They are awful. I used the provided
batteries in my outdoor thermometer. Buy a real brand of AAA
alkaline cell.

I love those flashlights. I have about seven of them, so
far. Not worth
what the 'official' price is, more like two bucks, but for
free, I will
open them up and retension the springs, etc. I wonder how
long HF will
keep that loss-leader promo running. I may stop collecting
them once I
have one for every tool box, every car, and every coat I
wear.

I do try to not be a prick about it- I always buy SOMETHING
else while
I'm in there. But where I used to keep a list and go once
every 4-6
weeks, now I stop by there weekly, since it is only about a
block off my
usual Saturday errand route.
