Harbor Freight Moving Blankets 50% off Online/In (some?) stores.

[Pixel]

Harbor Freight is having a 50% off sale on moving blankets. I got two in store for $4.49 each plus tax. Don't know if all stores have them.

These blankets are a bit small on the short dimension, but I still think they're useable. Some larger blankets show on the web site for $8.99, didn't check price of those in store. Not sure how long the sale is going.

I thought I'd mention it because that seems like a pretty good price to me.

       I have often thought about having a few of these sewn together into a slip cover.
       Drop it over a machine before loading it into the truck.
       It would protect the paint and make loading and unloading much easier.

They could stand to be a bit thicker; for the price I don't think it's a big deal.

That's an interesting idea. If you're not sure how well it will work you could always try it with a square top first.

I've always asked at garage sales about old blankets/comforters and have spent no more than $5 on any one blanket. I lost count of how many I have ! ! !

I guess I should have said I thought it was a good price for a new blanket.

That reminds me, I haven't been to any garage sales or yard sales lately.
