REI fun and Games

“WE went to REI for a sternum strap yesterday and had the best time there! I got a flier for a really nifty little program they've started on Friday mornings...Mom and tot rock climbing. We'll be there with bells on! Also got three FREE carabiners, valued at $3.50 each (no we didn't steal them) and some awesome deals on gear:

On clearance:

REI mid weight capilene long undies $19.

Sierra Designs womens' wind-block polar fleece jacket reg. price $115.99, sale priced $53. And it's actually the right size and everything!

Gerber LST serrated knife (not on sale, but worth every penny).

Some days are soooo good! =D”

“Oooh, I want one of those windblocker fleeces. Maybe I'll try to get over there tomorrow.

Did you get a thing in the mail about their fall gear preview? With a 20% off coupon?”

“Sass

Soooooooooo how much did that sternum strap cost you?? $50-60 by the sounds of it!

The reason I ask is that last spring I went to a local outfitters for a new buckle for our child carrier . . .that $3.50 buckle cost me over $250 and I still haven't put it on the pack yet!!!

(trail runners, fleece vest for kid, shoes for wife, something for the other kid . . .I forget what.”

“lol Lee, sternum strap, $1.50, total bill: $115. We also got some magazines and junk.

Smiley, I got the only windblocker jacket. =)”
