Tips: It will not be displayed on the shelf due to its original price.
You will need to pay attention to the top shelf if some are laying without number labeled box, and you can ask a service member to get it from the top shelf for you, confirm the model number, and then walk straight to the check-out.
Or, go to Customer Service counter, ask them to check the item number, they might store these in the locked cage.
Disclaimer: I checked 85001, 86001, 78247, 29414, 30307 It seems Arizona's stores have this on sale. I checked Tucson / Phoenix / Flagstaff stores, and some of have these on Clearance.

Honestly, this deal is some kind of synchronicity for me, as just this morning I had an unrelated conversation about my Fluke 174 as the last thing for which I'll always fondly remember Fry's - a "real" Fluke meter for under $100 that Fry's sold as a rebadged, cut-down Fluke 3000.
If you don't have an immediate use for current measurement, and you want to give yourself a nice Christmas gift upgrade from your no-name meter, this could be a satisfying upgrade. Even though this is marketed towards electricians this has plenty of functionality for most hobby electronics as well. The safety built into this design is probably the most compelling feature, since the functionality as a 6,000 counts meter isn't exactly going to blow any low-cost competitors out of the water.
Good luck!

P.S. - I'm also lucky that I only had one project over a long period where I needed a clamp meter so I'd already settled for an AmazonBasics model which I need too rarely to justify an upgrade.

- Measuring current is so rare that doing it right isn't obvious even for pros. I've seen someone blow out their meter by attempting to do it wrong (seemed like the meter they were using didn't force some of the usual protections).
- For those who do make a habit of measuring current, there are methods which provide better capabilities than the ones integral into many multimeters. I personally have a couple of external current measuring devices. They allow me to both keep my multimeter in voltage mode (where most of them typically perform well) and get a wider range and accuracy of measurement (with one being capable of micro-Amp precision!).
Most DIY folks don't need a Fluke. But for $65 I'd certainly not discourage those who can use it to get themselves one.Good luck!
