Now if they still had the Midway 6x9 speaker grills!

The link I saw was only for a $5 off coupon.

Dave_K. · « **Reply #3 on:** May 04, 2004, 12:15:21 pm »

According to the coupon, its valid on any product purchased in the store. Also says no change returned for items under $5. So in affect, you can get anything thats $5 for free "at participating stores".

It worked for me. I got a 3 color set of .22ga wire for 19 cents

Did you guys find this in a flyer, or in the paper, or what? It says no photocopies, and I'm sure they will consider my laser-printed copy to be a photocopy.

Hmmmm... I have three radioshacks all within a mile

Thanks Alex

It does say no photocopies, but I'm gonna laser print it and see if they'll take it.

It's on the front page of the website, and yes, your laser printed copy will be honored.

My wife and I both went at lunch to Radio Shack and got a load of female terminal quick connectors. They let us both use separate coupons. So $10 worth of stuff for me!

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #13 on:** May 04, 2004, 03:49:03 pm »

how many were in the pack of femal connectors? and how much were they?

I figured wire was the only thing I couldn't get somewhere else (HD and Lowes don't carry the small guage wire)

NoBonus · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2004, 03:56:15 pm »

The connectors were like $2 a bag, so I got 4 bags (I also had CA sales tax to worry about). They were in what looks like a tool chest with drawings of each of the items. I was going to get barrier strips, but they were $4 each! I am going to jury rig my own at that price, thank you.

NoBonus · « **Reply #15 on:** May 04, 2004, 03:56:53 pm »

Oh, and there were maybe 10 connectors per bag. A rip off, but I need them.

Worked like a charm for me.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2004, 05:54:06 pm »

Whuhahaha! They're getting rid of they're line of Targus camera accessories, so I got a very nice case for my camera that was reduced from 12.99 to 4.97 back down to zip!

Thanks for letting us know DaveK!!!

Edit: They've got the Namco Classics TV Game for $20 with the coupon, not a bad price.

You could also get this very nice pack of 10 vinyl style CDRs for nothing!

AGGIEZ · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2004, 10:21:06 pm »

Does it matter if the copy is in black and white? I don't have a color laser printer

AlexC · « **Reply #20 on:** May 04, 2004, 10:50:00 pm »

I used a black and white one from work, no problem.

Daniel270 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 04, 2004, 11:21:06 pm »

Just thought I'd add mine...

Printed 2 copies and took the wife with me... got some 18 gauge and 22 gauge wire (both for free).

Wish RS would do stuff like this more often... I'm tempted to see if I can get some friends together and print a few more... I could use a few terminal strips and quick disconnects

If they did stuff like this more often, we wouldn't have a RadioShack. I bet the next coupon to come out has a minimum dollar limit on it.

LOL!! No doubt! I don't need anything from Radio Shack right now but I guess I have to go look now...

Hmmmm, I may just get one of those. Has anyone ever used that particular one before?

AGGIEZ · « **Reply #27 on:** May 05, 2004, 05:51:39 pm »

Awesome! Went to the three closest RS in my area and they all took the black and white printed coupon. Got 120 ft. of 20 ga. wire for free and some quick connects...

JustMichael · « **Reply #28 on:** May 05, 2004, 06:06:52 pm »

crashwg, it works just fine with the playstation stuff I have. I don't have anything with vibration though so I can't test that part of it.

SirPeale · « **Reply #29 on:** May 05, 2004, 08:06:25 pm »

Just gave it the ol' college try myself. They were like "what the heck is this?" checked out their site, and gave me the discount. I got speaker jacks so I can wire a couple projects. Tomorrow I think I'm going on a little trip to a few around me for some wire, some more connectors, and whatever else I can think of.

Oh yeah, I had to pay tax.

J_K_M_A_N · « **Reply #30 on:** May 05, 2004, 09:41:15 pm »

Just got back with some batteries for my son. He went to the counter with the coupon and the guy looked at me and said "That is the stupidest thing Radio Shack has ever done". He called it the free battery coupon. I asked if he had seen a lot of them and he said "oh yea". Too bad for him.

im at school til the 10th

but I told my dad to go get me some wire and stuff. We have like 4 Radio Shacks within like 5 miles of each other, prolly even less.

Here's to hoping he goes

SNAAAKE · « **Reply #32 on:** May 06, 2004, 03:22:19 am »

I went to 6 differnet place(there are everywhere around my area)

gprime · « **Reply #33 on:** May 06, 2004, 01:49:57 pm »

Only a day left for these.... these coupons probably not accepted in Canada hmm?

rdagger · « **Reply #34 on:** May 06, 2004, 03:34:02 pm »

I went to the Radio Shack in Duarte, CA and they told me to take a hike.

However, the one in Arcadia worked. There are probably over 200 Radio Shacks in Los Angeles County. 53 are within 10 miles of my house. I'm tempted to try everyone.

AGGIEZ · « **Reply #35 on:** May 06, 2004, 05:49:20 pm »

I went to 8 different RS today. All but one took the coupon. Anyways, got some great wire snips for $3, some connects, and a mile of 20 ga. wire.

It may be privately owned. Some RS are.

jcoleman · « **Reply #37 on:** May 06, 2004, 10:24:10 pm »

I've used three coupons at two stores so far...took my wife with me to the mall store. Going back to hit all three RS stores in the area tomorrow. It will be interesting to get my father-in-law's take on all this...he manages a Rat Shack in Cleveland TN that consistently ranks among the top stores in the country. It's in a strip mall too, if you can believe that. Outsells both mall stores in the area put together. Anyway, they must be losing a shitload of money on this...particularly when the jackass behind the counter tries to upsell you a cell phone with your free spool of wire.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #38 on:** May 06, 2004, 11:17:34 pm »

Legally, I'm not allowed to set foot in any RadioShacks anymore. I once worked there for a couple of months, but was fired due to an oversight in their background check; they claimed that I was once convicted of drunk driving- at a time before I even lived in the United States!!!!
I eventually got my name cleared, but had to agree not to go near any RadioShacks as part of my settlement. I haven't gone into RadioShack much since then, but I thought I'd better get my dollar's worth with this coupon

crashwg · « **Reply #39 on:** May 07, 2004, 01:07:18 am »

(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!
