I love discount stores!
« on: Nov 07, 2008, 08:06:55 PM »
We got one here a little less than a year ago and I didn't go for a while, but one of my coworkers said he went and started finding good deals on some outdoors and shooting stuff so I went.  I've got so many good deals on fishing lures, like $.50 - $1 for $6-8 lures, plus quite a few other good deals.  I recently found some butler creek flip open scope caps for $1 and snagged 3 or 4, despite the fact that they don't look like they'll fit any of my scopes  :haha:  Another of my good finds were uncle mike's detachable sling swivels for $2, snagged another 2 or 3 of them.

Today took the cake though.  I was poking around the horribly unorganized sporting goods isle and saw this Carolina Archery Systems arrow rest just laying on the shelf, no box, no price tag, just the rest.  I snagged it, looked around and found a set of bushnell .22/airgun scope rings and sound deadening/magnifying ear plugs and walked to the front.  I thought it was missing part of the mount and figured somebody stole it, so I was guessing they'd sell it pretty cheap.  When I got to the front I told the girl at the register I was interested in it but thought it might be missing parts, she asked what it was then went and asked the manager, came back and told me 50 cents  :yikes: 

Ofcourse I said yes, came home and checked and everything was there!  This site shows it going for $40, but another site had it at $32, but either way I may as well have stolen it!  I try to go to that place once a week, but will go every time I'm in town cause they put out new stuff almost every day.  They get their stuff from a few different places, but for the most part it seems they get it from fred meyer and trader joe's.

Sorry, forgot to attach pic and link.   http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2781520

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Nope, it's an outlet for fred meyer's, trader joe's and whatever other stores they're affiliated with.  If it were a mom and pop store I'd probably tell them when their prices were too low!

Man, I STILL don't know why you love this area so much, but if you move here I'll start duck hunting with you... if you wear a chastity belt and let me hide the key  :gap:
