You made the coupon? I can make one in MS Word for a free space
shuttle and beer. Put the store in next time.

Not only the clerk not read the fine print [and I am unable to without
a glass]-- They didn't have that SKU so the manager came over-
grabbed a 2-pack off the shelf, gave me my choice of blue/red, and
thanked me for my business.

Harbor Freight has some junk- but they do have some great bargains--
and their employees in our local store [Albany, NY] have always been
real accommodating.

If you fill in the blanks, you'll get a flyer in the mail about once a week.

About one out of four has either a coupon for something I want or a special
price on something I can't live without.

The last one had (amongst others) a special price on a four-inch tall
sextant, which, with proper tables, can be used when your GPS fails. I know,
I know, it will only give you (approximate) latitude, but that's something,
especially in an urban environment.

It's also fun when on a date and, after driving in circles a bit, you say to
the sweet thing sitting next to you: "I'll admit, I'm a guy and don't like
to ask for directions." You then pull this gizmo out of your pocket, face
north, take some readings, and drive directly to your destination. Oh, the
thoughts she will think!

He'd probably say "let there be light" and give up on the
coupon idea.

That is seriously funny about the sextant. Like you say, I
get flyers and coupons once a week or so. Often, if you wait
long enough, your item will go half price. I needed a sheet
metal shear, a couple weeks later it went half price. Same
with my impact wrench, air compressor, etc.

It looks like it might have 4 leds but usually the item doesn't have
to match the picture, especially when it's free.

So if this is the one with 3 leds, I sas them at the dollar store
yesterday.

Glue? Y'mean those chinamen didn't weld this thing together?g

Of course mine is blue. Had a chance to use it today- Not bad for a
freebie-- even if it does use 3 AAAs.

It has 9 LEDs. And mine came with 3 AAA batteries-- don't know if
they all do- the store had to substitute.

But the coupon says "3 1/2 Inch, Nine LED"

Jim

Sadly, they don't seem to do welding for those. Yes, I find
them very good light. A bit blue haze color, but the price
is good.

Yep. Harbor Freight is almost as much fun to browse as a gun show.

About the only thing I used to be able to afford at a gun show was another
case of ammunition, but lately...

Whereas I can afford MOST of the stuff at HF. For example, I got a five-foot
diameter, fold up patio umbrella for $3.69. It'll come in handy while
watching the next stand-in-the-sun parade. Oh, the umbrella's cheaply made,
but, then again, so are the parades around here*.

The reality is that sales are very slow right now in all retail sectors HF
iss more than happy to get people in the store, and with that particular
coupon, they get your name and information to send you even more good deals
with.

I'm finding other retailers are also being very liberal about honoring
coupons and even honoring multiple coupons at the same time. Anything to
move the merchandise out the door and make some kind of a profit is
perfectly fine with them.

It's a buyers market out there right now.

The main problem I have with NOT taking out the entire cost of a car,
for instance when it is bought. It is Washington-esque accounting to
suggest that a car loan doesn't exist, which is essentially what they
are doing. Sorry, but I don't live in a universe where a long-term
liability (such as a car loan) is essentially treated as a short term
asset.

Right now we're almost back to the 1994 savings rate of 5%.
Which is still real low compared to others such as Chinese and
Japanese. Although the one major hole in the savings rates as far as
I am concerned is that they don't count IRAs, pension plans, etc., as
savings.
