Harbor Freight Support group

I have been considering starting a support group for people with a
likewise addiction to my own. The day Harbor Freight moved into my
town, my life was changed. It was easy to avoid it when it was online.
I know other stores have impulse items by the checkout, but this damn
place is filled with impulse items. Really. Who can resist a 32 piece
screwdriver set fot $5. oh wait... that is a good deal on shrink
tubing. who cares if I already have some... how many pairs of $.99
utility scissors does one REALLY need?
I need help. I just bought a welder, but was back the next day for
accessories.

It could be worse! I made the horrible mistake of taking my wife to
HF one time. Not only did she buy more than I did, she now gets
****ed if I go without her.

I made that mistake too and I thought it was bad when I took my daughter.

We have a small store about 3 miles away and a bigger one about 15. I'm
not taking my wife to the bigger store...

Huh, you think THAT'S bad? Every month or so I go past my wife's workbench and
say, "Hey, that's a neat tool, where?...Oh." Then I have to go to HF myself to
pick up my own. :-)

It could be worser! One HF here is next to a Dollar Store! Redneck's
shopping mall....

Count me in. In addition to the tools I get there, on my last trip over
there I bought 4 stunt kites for only 7 bucks each. Now I can hardly
wait to take my grandkids to the beach...

Stunt kits for $7....

Put me down for 2, but it's going to cost me $150... cause of the rest of
the crap that is going to end up in my basket...

No ****, only 7 bucks each. I was tempted to buy the other 5 they had
on the shelf. When my daughter was little, she wanted a stunt kite but
back then I was in college, dirt poor and the damn things were 60 bucks
and up.

Oh and I bought an air brush and a couple of uncle fester clamps too.
It's a good thing they don't have the larger store closer to where I live.

It doesn't seem like you have a REAl problem. I too bought 4 stunt
kites, but I don't have grandchildren/children or even any friends.
I bought 4 just because it was a really good deal. I need help. I
can't wait to get my 1 week chip.

The first liar doesnt have a chance here...

I dunno, I went there on Saturday and I didn't even need anything. I
bought a hand crank iPod charger for my daughter and one of those 5th
hand gizmos with a magnifying glass. I also fund a set of drill stops
for 3 bucks... Next time I'm going to go to the bigger store across town...
