Surprising how good some of the cheap brushes on the market today are

the house recently using "low priced" brushes (less than $3 canadian

Last year Harbor Frieght was very generous in distributing coupons for a
free item with no purchase necessary. I was making the three mile round
trip by bicycle (good exercise -- with a purpose) and picking up an item
per day. I had lots of gifts to give away.

Now the coupons require a purchase. Plus there are always the 20% off
coupons. So I can now buy one brush a day. After discount, and including
sales tax, this one costs me $1.73, with the free gift:
