Me too, and none active at the moment. The most recent was 15% 11/6 ~ 11/9.
I was in HF yesterday and the manager made a heavy pitch to sign up for their new '
Inside Track Club'. $29.95 per year. He said the preferred customer emails and mail brochures are going away, to be superceded by this new fee-based discount scheme. You can quit and get a refund for the first 90 days if you don't like it.
This gives you an hour earlier access to the Sidewalk Sales which have a few customer returns offered at tremendous discount and still with refund guarantee. I have gone to several and never bought anything. Plus emails offering clearance stuff in their warehouse, but I expect you still pay shipping which diminishes the savings. And a continuation of the present email specials.
For me, I don't see much point in it assuming they continue their ordinary advertised sales. The sewer snake machine, 20x20 tarp-carport, and a $129 compressor are the only items over $100 I have bought there in the past decade. No two of them in the same year. I don't see any more larger-ticket items I want. I shop there for convenience - it's a reasonable first place to look for stuff - but this membership seems to be an excuse to waste money on stuff they are pushing, mostly stuff I don't need.
I think the best strategy is to wait and maybe join for a year if the discount would be justified on some large-ticket item.
