Remember to combine it with the 20% off coupon. Or better yet get grandma and grandpa to make the purchase. Thats what my daughter did to me! Now I get to push the bob with one in a backpack and the other in the bob, gettin ready for the Sierra if it ever stops snowing.

$20 is all I have, but I have a $75 credit (birthday gift) that I've been saving to combine with the 20% discount. Now I need to decide where to spend it...

Already checked on that. Would have been a great deal, but the small print says strollers are not eligible for the 20%. Double Boo-urns...

There is a chance that you can get the 20% off in May. As I recall they do a one item 20% off then and maybe they won't exclude the carriers. Also check out craigslist! You might have to take a pressure washer to a used one but you could probably save at least $200.

i'll probably get scolded for this, but....

Eric, if it's a BOB your wife has in mind, you won't be disappointed. They are well built and all you'll ever need for a stroller/jogger. They sell a kit that allows you to attach an infant car seat to it as well. Yes, they aren't cheap, but they are worth it, IMHO.

Congratulations, Eric!

I got $471 back.

I ordered the Women's Lightning Ascent snowshoes using the 20% coupon. I didn't shop much at REI last year, but get 1% back for everything purchased on my REI credit card. I charge gas, food, car maintenance/insurance, medical bills, etc so it adds up.

At $3.41, I thought I would be the lowest . Its not really surprising as I am a notorius tightwad when it comes to buying my own gear. I wait for sales, craigs list, swap meets, etc. Next one should be a bit better however as I have been looking the last couple weeks with my daughter at boots and a hydration pack for her and it looks like REI is the spot (20 % discount, quality, etc). While I am tight, Im not cheap and learned along time ago to make sure I buy good equipment that fits right.

Like Snowy, I have an REI credit card and so got back $241. It's my wife's birthday on Friday so I used it to get her an Eagle Creek Tarmac 25 suitcase - she's been asking for a good larger one than a carry-on for a long time and our Eagle Creek carry-on still works great after 12 years and a huge amount of abuse.

$29.27. Not too shabbie. with that and the 20% off coupon it will be the Exped UL Synmat. This will replace my Exped 9 DAM to bring my pack weight and volume down by several ounces and not sacrifice too much in the evening comfort department which is so important to me on those long fall Sierra nights.
