Advance Auto Parts is closing 700 stores west of the Mississippi. <br>
The closeout deals are crazy - 40-50% off supplies and 70-80% off of “hard parts”. <br>
I’ve been buying everything I think I’ll ever use. <br>
The effected stores will be closed sometime in March and discounts could go to 90%+ at the end. <br>
Bonus it that their prior acquisition of Car Quest means lots of the stuff is pretty high quality (although that acquisition may have contributed to their demise). <br>
Stay thirsty my friends,<br>
