Sportsmans Warehouse--Wow!

[Roccus]

Wow, did I have a good day today at Sportsmans Warehouse in Chattanooga. I only get down there occasionally and had a list of a few "wants" (not needs) to pick up. I found a fishing sinker mold, a lead pot, some reloading dies, some RCBS parts, a book, some bullets, etc.. I went merrily along my way in the store finding my treasures and when it came time to leave I went to the checkout up front. The lady at the checkout rung up my total and then proceeded to tell me to pick out a balloon. Now I'm a little old for balloons and thought I might look a little childish carrying one out of the store. Whatever---I would go along with it. I picked one out and she took it from the rack and then proceeded to stick a pin in "My" balloon and ruined it. I really hated to lose my prize, but to my surprize there was a piece of paper inside the balloon that said 50% off. She then proceeded to take $78.62 off of my bill cutting it in half. I didn't even know there was a special promotion with the balloons going on but I certainly enjoyed getting all my purchases for half price even if I did lose my balloon. If only I had bought one of those guns or trolling motors I looked at. Anyway, thank you Sportsmans Warehouse! It made my day. emoDance

Wow! About as close to hitting the lottery as most of us will come!

Congrats...that's great! With my luck, I probably would have picked one that said I owe an extra $100.emoBigsmile

Gotta like those kind of shopping trips !

You did go back in and spend the savings, Didn't you ? emoSmile

Naw, I didn't go back in and spend the savings since my wife was with me and the money came from her pocketbook anyway. I saw her digging for her checkbook when she rang up the total and then she closed it and got out the cash when I got the 50% off balloon. Don't worry, I'll be back and spend the savings sooner or later. Thanks for the idea though.emoSmile
