Harbor Freight Trip 05 of 2023
Friday, March 10, 2023
You'll recall a week ago on trip to Harbor Freight, I picked up a $400 Hercules tablesaw. At the time, I was pumped as I got 10% off—$40.
Wouldn't you know it a few days later, they had a coupon for that very same tablesaw? $320. And as they honor their coupons retroactively upto 30 days, it was that time again. So, yesterday, off I went to Harbor Freight.
I saved $40 in addition to that earlier $40! (Not to mention another $8 of sales tax.)
Now, I really wanted and optimistically hoped a ladder would fit in my Toyota Camry, a 17-ft'er that's totally got the spirit of Transformers on a $30 off sale. But, no dice: their inventory system got it wrong. I wanted more but...again, I'm confined into the parameters of my impending move with closing but a week away.
So, a little over $25 later with tax, I came out with a bag of goodies:
| # | Item | Discount | Actual Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| x2 | 5 mil Nitrile Powder-Free Gloves, 100 Pack, XL, Light Blue | $5 | $4.99 |
| x1 | 15 lb. Capacity Telescoping Magnetic Pickup Tool | $2 | $2.99 |
| x1 | Disposable Blue Shop Towels | - | $3.19 |
| x1 | CR2025 Lithium Button Cell Batteries, 4-Pack | - | $2.99 |
| x2 | 200 Lumen LED Super Bright Flip Light | $1.50 | $1.99 |
Perhaps the purchase that impresses me most is that $2 light switch. First, it's bright. Like, now-I'm-blind bright. I wish I had the power was out the other day for hours. On the back, there's holes to hang on something; there's a command strip; there's even a couple of magnets. All for $2! It runs on 4 AAA's which ARE included. Just a lot of bang for my buck.
