No more Harbor Freight freebies?

[Rich Engelhardt]

My wife just pointed out to me that the latest Harbor Freight mailer we got in the mail no longer has the 20% off coupon(s) or the freebie stuff.
I checked our emails from Harbor Freight & they no longer have them either - - but - - I'm not sure the emails ever did have them.

Anyone know if Harbor Freight has stopped the free stuff?

[Wade Lippman]

The one I got today does.

[Dave Sweeney]

Their ad in my last Sunday's paper still had both type of coupons in it.

[Cary Falk]

I get a ton of them regularly. Or you can use thesse.

Their current flyer doesnt seem to have any 20% off coupons, but I found several that expire 10/31 on the web. I did not see the usual freebies.

[Jacob Reverb]

I just got their monthly sale catalog in the mail today. It still has the 20% off coupon and freebies (4-in-1 screwdriver or 24 batteries).

[Darcy Warner]

Oh no, what shall I do.

[Art Tripp]

The catalog / ad I received yesterday (via mail) has a peel off 20% super coupon valid through 11/30/18 and a printed 20% coupon valid through 12/21/18. It also has several freebies: 24 pack of AA or AAA batteries, a 7 function digital multimeter, 4 in 1 screwdriver, 5'6" x 7'6" tarp and a 3-1/2" flashlight. I am in east central Ohio if that makes a difference. It also says this is my final coupon book unless I use one of the coupons by Nov 30th ("final attempt, action required").

Ya, right, like that will happen. :D:rolleyes:

At least for Android there is a Harbor Freight app for your phone (made by some third party, but it has all of their coupons). I haven't bothered with their paper coupons for a year or two. If I need to swing by and pick up some random item, I fire up the app, get 20% off and a free magnetic tool holder or whatever looks worthwhile.

[Art Mann]

I got a free flashlight just last week - for whatever that is worth.

[Gary Ragatz]

Interesting that they seem to put out so many different versions of their catalog. I received the one with a single 20% off coupon and two freebies (batteries and 4-in-1 screwdriver), like @Jacob Reverb.

I've gotten to the point where before I finalize an order from any on-line retailer, I google the name of the retailer and "coupon." I'd say about half the time, I come up with either some kind of discount or free shipping.

[Nick Decker]

"...a free magnetic tool holder."

Those work really well as long as your tool collection is all paper clips.

[fred woltersdorf]

I got a free $4, 25' tape measure today for buying a $10 socket set.

[Brian Henderson]

I've got one sitting right here, has all of the coupons and freebies. Not sure what you got, but all of the ones I get have it. There are plenty of sites online that list all current coupons and you can just pull it up on your phone and the store will scan it.

[Bob Coates]

Got flier in mail today and had 20% off and couple freebie stuff.

[Ben Rivel]

I have noticed in my area that they have been sending a lot less the last couple months.

[Perry Hilbert Jr]

Just got an ad two days ago and it has the 20% and freebies. Central PA.

[Dave Lehnert]

I have a abandoned house across the street from me and the Mailman put the Harbor Freight catalog addressed there in my box along with the one addressed to me.
It was the exact same catalog with the exact same items on the coupon. But some of the items on the coupons had different prices.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

There's 3 freebies on the front page of the catalogue I just received.

[Rich Engelhardt]

I'm thinking here - based on the feedback - that this might be a regional thing &/or HF is sending out "feelers".

[Andrew Gibson]

I usually get two different flyers, one that has the 20% off coupon and one that does not.

[Matt Schrum]

"...a free magnetic tool holder."

Those work really well as long as your tool collection is all paper clips.

I've got a few holding wrenches and hammers (and have been for a couple of years without issue). Though, I guess I'm assuming paperclips are the same size in your neck of the woods ;)

[Jim Laumann]

I am located in SE MN - I saw this same behavior - no freebie/discount coupons occur about 3 weeks ago. they have since resumed. Latest offer (Sunday newspaper) was for flashlight, 5x7 tarp, microfiber cleaning cloth and 20% off coupon (last weekends edition). On Monday, a catalog arrived - announcing the "Lower than Discount" sale, and it has the 4 in 1 screwdriver, 24 pack batteries and 20% coupon.

Maybe a change in how they do business is coming, and these are feelers to see how the public reacts.....?

[johnny means]

I wish they would get rid of these things. In my opinion, God's wrath is being stuck behind seven older gentlemen at HF, all trying to figure out how to get four freebies with their $3.99 purchase, then arguing with the cashier about why they can't get the free flashlight.

[Tom Stenzel]

The Harbor Freight catalog came today, no freebies for me.

Looks like I'll have to continue using one of the 2,389 flashlights I already have. Can I stand the strain?

Just FYI, the new version of the little blue work light (the one the size of a bar of soap) with the ribbon LED down the center is MUCH better than the old ones with 28 individual LEDs.

But yeah, I have about all the 4 in 1 screwdrivers and little flashlights that I'm ever likely to need.

And then they write a check for their $3.99 purchase.

Not here, we get a ton of it. Every week in the junk mail ad drop, there are at least 2 ads from HF, plus a big booklet ad at least every other week.

[John McClanahan]

I think I already own just about everything they sell, so this won't be an issue for me.

I get both kind of ads.

[Mike Heidrick]

I just go to www.hfqpdb.com when I am in the store.

[Bruce Wrenn]

Got flyer last week, and it included 20% off and freebies. Same for both ads in today's paper, along with last weeks paper.

[Joe Spear]

I'm still getting flyers with the free items in the mail. And there was a Harbor Freight insert in the Boston Sunday Globe this week with coupons for three free items.

[Rich Engelhardt]

Well - just got a new email for a 3 day inventory blowout sale. It has 20% and three freebies coupons.

I guess if they were trying out something new it fell flat.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Rich, maybe HF was just picking on you?:confused::rolleyes:;)
