Harbor Freight — Local services in Brownwood

Bad day at harbor freight! 20% off for a single item 1 day only for inside track members. Which i am. So went to the store to purchase $1299 13000w tri fuel generator.

There was never a good variety of track items and the discounts were not that great either, compared to the regular price and alot of track items were the big higher priced items anyway. I think we used it a hand full of times to get a better deal. Honestly not worth the price to an average person, maybe better for a business...
