I went to Radio Shack in Hollywood.  I brought three $1.69 packets of right angle connectors to the cash register and gave the guy my coupon.  He told the coupon is only good for a SINGLE product.  They gave me 1 packet for free and I had to pay for the other 2.  I guess I should of bought a $5 spool of wire instead.

I took my friends around to all of the radioshacks near me and picked up all the wiring stuff I will need to complete my cabinet. Wire, barrier blocks, connnectors everything. I went a little over at one store, so it costs me $1.37 for everything.

(cartman-like voice) GODDAMNIT! (/cartman-like voice)

I realy have to stop procrastinating.  I  hope I can manage to remember to go out and use this coupon sometime today...

BTW, today's the last day for the coupon!  ;)


I went to 2 different stores yesterday and got 2 packs of 3-color 22 gauge wire.  It worked great!!

Thanks to AlexC for the post!

Check this out...I went running around tonight, all the ass-ociates there were "thank GOD it's the last day"...but the last store I went to, the guys were totally cool with it, and were even telling my wife and I some stories about the past few days.

The funniest one was this:  Someone tried to print the coupon on the PC that was running IN THE STORE!  LMAO!  

The only bad part was they didn't sell female disconnects ONLY...all I found was the male/female bagged set.  Still, 50 of them for free....I don't feel bad throwing out the crap I won't use!  Also got a few switches and buttons for remote start buttons and whatnot.  Thanks a TON for the link and the heads-up on the deal.

In the first store I went to they had to do just that.  My printer has problems with graphics, and they couldn't read it.

Save them.  What you don't need now, you may kick yourself later for tossing.

The coupon specifically said "product(s)" which means more than one.  I would have lost my mind if they tried to screw me.


I used 2 coupons at two different stores.  I had printed off a bunch cause I had bigger plans, but didn't end up using them.  The people in the store were happy when I started handing them out!

LOL!

I went to 3 stores.  The associates didn't realy say much about the coupons, just that they'd seen 'em.  One of the associates said it was the first one he'd seen.

By the time I got to the 3rd store, I was like... Uh, now what do I buy?  I ended up getting a right-angle adaptor for coax.  Damn that stupid jack behind the bed!!!
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
