A little surprised nobody on here brought it up (that I noticed, anyway), but HF now has and is actually enforcing a minimum purchase to get most of the freebies from the pages of coupons most of us get. Not sure if the old coupons are grandfathered or not- there was some sort of sign taped to the counter about an error in the ads, but there was a line behind me, and the type was real small...
Oh well, I guess 40 flashlights, 4 little meters, and 2 bar clamps, are enough for awhile. Nothing good lasts forever. With a minimum purchase of $19.99, I won't make the cutoff more than a few times a year there. Today's coupon didn't have a minimum, but it was for those little plastic scissors with the applied metal cutting edges. Not sure those are even worth taking home- they look rather flimsy.
