Since the demise (January 2021) of the 20% coupons and the free gimme items, I have stopped going there. I used to go on a monthly basis.
I did go today and bought one toy for the kiddos.
Anyone see a use for the "members club"? Thirty bucks a year and looks like you only get deals if they have a members sale on something you need. No percent off anything coupons.
Sure miss the 20% off anything days. I really don't traffic the store much at all since then... maybe its the fact I already have too much stuff.
One of my digital calipers has gone haywire and I'm thinking about replacing it.... would have done it in a minute today if I had a 20% coupon.
Unless they were losing money before, it sure seems to me based on a sample of one that their new marketing plan is not working.
I still have a box of tape measures, lights and voltmeters I give to friends and family. I know when that had that lawsuit that my 3 years spending at the local store ended up around $1000.
I guess applying for a HF credit card could get you 5% off every purchase.
The other thing is that they are introducing new lines (Bauer, Banks, Pierce, Hercules, Icon) of premium priced tools with a hard sell, fancy names with prices considerably higher than their old Pittsburgh and Central lines. It guess this is a thinly disguised price raise?
