If you want to compare the current coupon offers with past coupon books you can find the past ones on the archive page.

Repeatedly the question came up what to do if you don't get your coupon book in the mail. My experience is that I always could get it at the customer service counter in the warehouse, but it wasn't always easy. One time when I went there short after it mailed, they told me to come back when the coupons actually start. One time they checked my membership status. Sometimes the want to check the mailing address in the system and so on. Just stay friendly but don't give up and you'll get your copy. It might be easier if you already mastered some Jedi mind tricks, but you'll get there without.

Links to the previous Coupon books can now be found in the Archive. After a year of Adamcos.com it's going back a whole year now. I also added an Archive with text that lists all the items that you'll find in that particular booklet.

The search function has been improved. See below or the search page itself. Also a comment system has been installed and the page is ready for your input .

As things evolve I plan to add pointers to other good deals or reviews of products, software or books. 

I added a database with keywords of all the items. They are now displayed beside the thumbnails of the coupon book pages and underneath the full size image of each page.
The search form has been extended. It allows now to select between three different search modes. The first one is the default and is the one that existed before. In this mode the entered line is taken as a single string and returns on which page or pages it was found. The second option recognizes individual words if they are separated by spaces and returns only pages that contain all of the keywords. The third option returns all pages on which any of the keywords appears.
As before you can call up the actual page from the search results and see the coupon in big.
By default it only searches through current or upcoming coupon books. Select  the "include" expired to also search in older coupon books. As long as there is no new one this selection is disabled and it will automatically search through all available coupon books.

It seems all the CodeKey Car Dignostic (OBD II) Reader that were on clearance at several Costco warehouses are all gone now, but the Autel MaxiScan (pictured on the right) seems an even better alternative. Read about it and some more capable, though more exepensive, alternatives here.
