REI superclearance - College Park store

[Cataboo]

I went by both the Rockville & College Park REI today (first day of the superclearance)

Rockville was mobbed, and didn't have a lot of bike related stuff on great sale. There is a good selection of jerseys for $15-20 each. I did get a pair of pearl izumi ultrasensor capris for $30. And I got a pair of mens pearl izumi slice ultrasensor shorts for $30 - but I bought the only ones of those. You might be able to find them at the other REI stores (I didn't see them at College Park)

College park REI was great, however. They had both mens & women's SIDI bullet bike shoes (both road & MTB) for $60 instead of $160. They had a good selection of sizes, but I didn't note them. Got a pair for myself & a pair for the BF. Also got a GIRO stylus helmet for $25 from $84. THey had a number of other helmets, bike seat bags, pearl izumi women's sensor gloves for $10, and a lot of jerseys and shorts on clearance. They also had Nathan Ultimate reflective sashes marked down to $5.

The holiday SIGG bottles were $10.

I spent $16.00 at Goodwill today. That was enough for me.
I got a nice hooded sweater with the Ross price tag sill on it

*sigh*

Don't ask how much I spent.

I did buy like 250 cliff bars for 3 cents each. I damned well better like the pear apple strudel, pumpkin pie, and gingerbread flavors, because I think I'll be eating them for the next year.

We were at the Evil Empire (Performance) across the side street from Rockville REI last night. Picked up some DeFeet Wooleator and Blaze socks for less than $4/pair. Okay, so one pair is PINK and they are seconds...but are perfectly wearable and I don't care too much about the color of winter socks anyway. They're hidden under tights and booties....
And....Clif Bars for $0.90 each. Sure. Not $0.03, but I got only 2!

I'm debating heading over to REI. I mean...what do I need??? I didn't even really NEED those socks!

REI in rockville had some smartwool women's running socks, baby blue with white patterns on them, size large for about $3. I'd assume they work great for cycling as well.

I guess I was by Performance while at REI, but have really never shopped there, so it didn't occur to me to go in. I really only go to REI about twice a year during the superclearances.

I actually needed the sidi shoes, I've mauled the pair of cheap cannondales I was riding in all summer, and I'd bought the sidis from chainlove... (for more than I paid on REI) and they were just a bit on the tight side in the toe box, and I'd been putting aside dealing with a return exchange for the correct size until after the holidays. Now I just have to return them because I have the right size for cheaper.

I will be checking out the Timonium REI tomorrow. Had no idea about the sales or I would have stopped at the one in College Park while I was down there.
