REI superclearance - College Park store

*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.

I wish I lived closer to an REI store--I'm almost two hours away from the nearest one. On the other hand, maybe that's a "good thing," at least for my wallet. I did do a little shopping on the website on Friday, but it was painnnnffful. The site was slow, and then crashed completely for at least an hour. Fortunately when they got it working again, my shopping cart was intact. Didn't get much, just 3 pairs of Outdoor Research winter gloves for great prices.

wooo

Sidi MTB Bullet for $60. I was digging through the women's side, only found them in a 37. I was going to get the PI quest but they really didn't fit well. Walked around the the men's side...Looks like someone failed at hiding the Womens Bullet in a size 40. MINE.

There's still some good deals to be had at the REI's... I stopped into the Bailey's crossroads store on Sunday...

And walked out with 3 pairs of ski boots (1 pair for $10, 1 for $15, and 1 for $17... considering I just decided I absolutely hate my current pair of ski boots and my last 3 pairs, this gives me another 3 pairs to work my way through hating for various reasons - and I've got 2 cousins that ski with feet my size who also have boots they hate, so we can swap around), a pair of carbon fiber shimano road shoes ($17), and a pair of carbon fiber rollerblades (Does anyone roller blade anymore?), & sugoi arm warmers for $5.
