Mini? Gloat.

Well, there's a Family Farm & Home store nearby that will be closing its doors tomorrow, so I've been checking in periodically to see if I could nab any deals. I finally bit the bullet yesterday in the upgrade I had somewhat planned for my Husqy chainsaw. I originally bought the saw (372xp) with a 20" bar, knowing that it could run a 32" bar/chain combo if I ever needed it. At the time, the combo would've cost me an extra $110 or so. Well, the manager wouldn't come down more than the posted 10% on Husqy products, but I still got the combo for under $90. I just hope I don't have to sharpen that chain too much. It takes long enough on the 20" chain.

Great deal! Congrats on the score.

Jason,
Is that the store on 38th St just west of SIA? Any deals worth making the 30 mile trip?

[Jason Roehl]

Probably not at this point, Doug. You should have stopped on your way home from work the past few days. They been pretty busy lately and picked pretty clean. I was hoping to score some Carhartt clothes at 40% off, but all the bib overalls left were like 50W 30L...that would fit two of me and be too short. (Call me Jason Squarepants--I wear a 32x32).

Tractor Supply is going to be moving into that building (about 1/2 mile farther west right now). We've put in a bid with the GC on painting inside and out, but we haven't heard back yet, and they want the exterior started around the 1st of October--not looking too promising right now.
