Have you ever tried to use a HF 20% off coupon at HD. I would love to get a cordless Dewalt circ saw for 20% off
My Home Depot lets me use HF 20% off coupons on whatever. Bought my Milwaukee 2763-20 for $189 after tax, $30 cheaper than the price on the shelf. Also bought my Milwaukee M12 four bay charger with a 20% off coupon as well.
I just make sure to go to the counter that has a live person there, rather than the self checkout.
"I'd like to use this Harbor Freight 20% off coupon because I heard your store manager was super cool and would let me, and the other Home Depot closer to me won't, so I come to shop here instead."
"Who told you we could do that?"
"Don't remember the gal's name, but she put me on hold for like five minutes while she talked to her boss, then she came back on the phone and said her boss said they'd accept the 20% off coupon, but it could only be used on one item and not the whole order."
Then the cashier took the coupon, rang me up for 20% off my shiny new impact and then tore up the coupon and stuck it in the trash.
I've only ever used legit HF coupons that come in the mail, so they're all shiny and glossy, rather than a printed out one, just so they don't think I'm trying to scam them or anything, even though HF accepts printed out coupons. In my mind it makes them less likely to say no when the coupon is shiny and glossy. Plus I leave it attached to all the other HF coupons, so they can see it came from HF and I'm not trying to pass off some random coupon.
I don't know if that all helps them decide to let me use it instead of denying me, but I figure it can't hurt.
