Thought I'd share this bargain I found yesterday in the Orlando area (not online): Microfleece long-sleeved half-zips, Columbia Klamath 2 (no chest pocket) was $10.47 :sun, originally $40, and Alpine brand (with zippered chest pocket) was $8.37 :sun, originally $40. These were both men's versions. Look for clearance racks with signs for an extra 30% off the lowest price marked. :banana

Sports Authority leaves clearance decisions up to their store managers, who don't always make the best business decisions.

The store manager near me (East Brunswick, NJ) was (he's gone now) a complete idiot. He'd clearanced 6-pack of esbit tabs to $0.25. I bought all 40 of them for $10. Now I have more esbit tabs than I care to use...

Looks like the store manager found someone to swap places with on the esbit tabs. ;)

LOL. Some people will pay anything for a bargain. ;)

I find stuff like that really hard to pass up.

Nah. Worst case is he spent $10 to have a really cool and really smelly fire. Maybe line them up on their sides like dominoes, light the first one and tip it over. Then you get a flaming trail of collapsing "dominoe" esbits. Well worth the money for the many ways to have fun with a whole bunch of esbits.
