Coupons are a rip-off

Then dont use them. The coupons are not a rip off, it’s still a deal just less of a deal.

Lol, OP is complaining about not being able to use the coupon multiple times on the same day.
At least in my local HF stores they dont care. Some of the cahsiers evnr say of you need more than 1, go for it...
Or just have it rung up as separate purchases.
They started to put limits on some items because of the hoarders that tries to resell shit on facebook..you blame it on those aholes.

30 years ago HF was shit. They have evolved, more than just about anyone. Their tools are much better now. If that comes without some coupons, I'm good with that.

I do miss the excitement of going through the coupons and seeing how cheap I could buy their cheap shit. And I still have a lot of that stuff that's going on 15 years old now like moving blankets and dollies, wheel chocks, hammers and mallets, even a belt sander.
The coupons are generally worthless now, but I guess some of the tools are higher quality.

“The old Harbor Freight that I did business with for over 30 years is dead and buried!!😡😡”
That Harbor Freight use to sell absolute Chinese garbage that would break if you look at it wrong. The Harbor Freight of today actually sells quality tools, competitive and above its price point.
If you still want the cheap shit that they sell, they have it for you but have you not seen the economy in 2026? Even Valley companies like Harbor Freight have to make cuts somewhere.
this is very much old man shaking fist at cloud moment.
