True. Even better if you are on their mailing list. The last batch of coupons included a $10 off coupon with no minimum purchase. Basically you walk into the store and pick out anything adding up to $10 and its free. Not sure how they avoid losing money on these deals. I haven't seen them in a while, but it used to be normal once or twice a year for them to have $20 coupons with no minimum, unlike the ones you linked to that have a $50 minimum purchase. Though most are the same as the ones above. With their coupons that have a minimum purchase, because their prices are inflated on many items, if you are looking for the best deal, it can be challenging to find something to buy there. For example, a multimeter they sell for $100 regularly, and can get for $80 on coupon, might be available mailorder for $60. Their prices aren't consistently high, though. Lots of components and even some tools (like long shaft drill bits) are competitively priced. Then right next to them you'll find a spool of wire priced at 100% more than mailorder. It also doesn't help that lots of items don't have prices on them. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
