Hi Byron, I don't order from the website, all my experience is with in-store policies= .. My office is 1 mile from a store, so I probably go there once every month= or so. Up until a few months ago, if you used a 20%-off coupon, it applied= to the price on the shelf tag. In other words, if the shelf tag was $10, y= ou'd pay $8, unless it was an excluded brand or type(like air compressors o= r welders). But now, it also depends on the color of the shelf tag. If the tag is red-i= sh, you only get 20% off the"fine-print price" printed on the tag. The friendly (yes, this is a nice Harbor Freight store, must have a decent = manager) clerks acknowledged the change in coupon policy. I assume this is a system-wide policy change. Regarding the free multimeters, I collect them and give them out once a yea= r to groups of interested youths. What fun! :) But be aware of the 1 megohm= input resistance when you use them. Friendly regards, Bob ________________________________________ From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu on behalf of Byron = Jeff Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2017 9:12 AM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [OT] New Harbor Freight Coupon Policy? was: Cases Bob, I'm confused about a "new coupon policy" in terms of Harbor Freight. Has something changed? In the long distant past it was possible to stack coupons where on a single item you could use an item specific coupon and then stack a 20% or 25% coupon on top of it. But that practice disappeared long ago. There would be no problem applying a 20% coupon to the $39.99 price and pick the item up for a bit less than $32. Their system automatically applies the 20% coupon to the highest priced eligible item. It's also possible to use a 20/25% coupon on a sale item, which doesn't require a coupon to purchase. I suggest anyone going to Harbor Freight to take a pass through the Harbor Freight coupon database website before heading out. Every current coupon in the company is loaded there. Typically I'll apply an item specific coupon if it's more than 20/25%, then 20/25% to a sale item, and finally I always grab a free multimeter using their ever present free multimeter coupon.
