 Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Being both a Cabela's and Bass Pro fan, considering what specific product and recent fishing needs I have at the time. I've noticed through the years (and after one heck of a lot of money spent at both outlets), I'd be afraid to know the actual amount. But it seems Cabela's is less inclined to offer as many buying incentives as Bass Pro. So I was surprised to receive in the mail yesterday, an actual (serious) money savings coupon from the Giant Retailer. It's their first ever year-end inventory sale. And it offers to take $30.00 of any $100.00 order through January 9th 2005. So, I'm actually feeling obligated to get the Ol'Catalog out and browse.   Hey, Dave'e. You git any of them thare custom colors intew Cabela's yit?  Edited by walleye express 12/17/2004 10:40 AM | ||

Member Posts: 1656 | Bass Pro may seem to provide more incentives......but as with most things you need to read the fine print. Often times Bass Pro's deals are on Bass Pro labeled merchandise. So who's scammin who? | ||

| Actually I've noticed just the opposite - I get more and better offers form Cabelas. I got the $30 offer in the mail yesterday too, I figure it's gonna cost me a couple hundred bucks. I sure hope BPS doesn't have something similar in the works or I'm gonna go broke!! | |||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Fishoil. Yup... Just got off their site. Spent $100.91. $81.00 total cost to me with the discount. Can't avoid the shipping charges no matter what you do. Finally ordered one of those Ram 70,000 candle powered flood lights. Figured it could accomplish a duel purpose. Use it on my 4 wheeler for ice fishing and on my boat for night trolling. Also ordered a few of those #7 Rapala Tail Dancers for $3.99 each. Damn decent price even without the discount. And lastly, some Rip Cord Fluorescent ThermoFused line. 300 yards for $6.99? Fish-on. Edited by walleye express 12/16/2004 4:01 PM | ||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Mine....I'm guessing Butch isn't old enough yet to have been married for 26 years. I can never equate the name Butch as being anybody over 25. Edited by walleye express 12/17/2004 10:43 AM | ||

| You guys need to do a better job on the "wife training". My wife handed me the coupon almost as soon as I walked in the door from work. Either she's well trained or she's decided that I'm untrainable. | |||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Rod Holder. Ya, I sent them an e-mail, because the actual starting (fine print) date for the discount isn't until the 20th of December. A nice gal named Debra, mailed me back that the discount was indeed good even at this early date, and was deducted from my order. So all the stars have alligned once again for Capt: Dan. Oh, and welcome aboard. Edited by walleye express 12/18/2004 10:57 AM | ||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Walleye Rich. Guess I'm not sure what you mean by Market. Beause we have both now in the Detroit area, along with a Gander Mountain in Saginaw. And ever time I mention visiting the other for a better price, they say don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out. Edited by walleye express 12/21/2004 1:20 AM | ||

Member Posts: 2680 Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Just recieved the stuff I ordered from Cabela's. Also recieved another $30.00 coupon with the order. These coupons are not customer specific and say so on the coupon. I don't see me using this one, so if anybody would like to use the numbers for some savings at Cabela's, drop me an e-mail and I'll give the first guy (who will really use it) the coupon numbers of this coupon to use.
