As part of the long list of AAA member benefits is their monthly magazine..
The one the wife gets is labeled "Texas," but I suspect AAA has versions for
other parts of the country. (continue to bear with me, I'll get to the point
directly).

Yesterday, she dropped it on the table and the magazine fell open to a
full-page ad.

Snatching up the magazine, I asked: "Have you seen this ad before?"

"Oh, yeah," she said. "I think it's in every issue."

The Harbor Freight ad had a 20%-off coupon, PLUS a free flashlight coupon..

Be still my beating heart!

Yeah, HF advertises in a lot of places, the AARP magazine is one of
them, I also see their ads sometimes in the Sunday advertising piles,
and sometimes in other advertising junk that somes with the
newspapers. Different flyers have different "free" coupons, the
flashlights are the freebie I see most ofter. There is always a 20%
coupon in every flier I have ever seen. If their special isn't what I
want, there is always some trinket for less than $1.00 that you can
buy to apply the 20% coupon to a bigger purchase.
