What to spend a Dick's Sporting Goods gift card on?

[bwframe]

I would never give the anti-gun Dick's a dime of my money!

That said, I received a fity dolla gift card from an acquaintance. I will use it.

Anyone in the know on getting the most bang for my gift buck there? I haven't shopped there in years, but assume they might still have Black Friday sales?

TIA!

Condoms? Or jock itch powder? Surely they have both, given their name…

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Ditto.

A hunting or fishing license if ya can, that way they make little to no profit.

Shooting ear muffs.

I'd re-gift it to an anti 2A acquaintance.

Buy gifts for other people. That way you can give away anything you do buy.

Yoga Pants.
You will look great in them.

I had the same issue only is was only a 25 dollar one.
Found a decent Petzl lamp there for 24.99.

Ammo?

Ammo?

At Dicks ??? That is hilarious.

I'm still wondering about whatever holiday sale they might be doing?

Thinking of something expensive, that I normally would never consider? Couple pairs of $25 wool blend sox?

For me, socks or a knife. I would probably just re-gift the card at a gift exchange for Christmas or use it for the mailman or trash truck driver.

Good thermal base layer shirt. Good socks.
I may have blown your budget. High quality base layers are not cheap.

4 mountain house meals(backpacking pouch type) 5 if they are on sale?

Thanks sir!

I may do the mountain house meals.

My next question to all is where is the simplest price checking to see if pricing is competitive vs an inflated Dick's/Mall price? Amazon?

If it is a mountain house dealer(Dicks and most who sell it are)the price is set by mountain house not them. Very little need to compare the price(clearance may be cheaper,but rare). I believe the 2 serving meals are right at $11 now for most with a few being $9(meatless). You might be able to find old stock being sold on Amazon,but it is rarely worth it.

By sale I meant clearance. It does happen when they discontinue a type of meal they allow retailers to lower the price to quickly sale the said product or line of product. I have a few of the mountain house "simple sensations" backpacking meals that were discontinued in 2019. They were actually better than the standard fare. Things like "Italian pepper steak" with real meat. To costly to keep making I suspect.

Good pair of Boots…Muck, Timberland, Danner, Merrel, Salomon…and wait until they have a $20 off $100 sale. Know your size and order online.

Edit: They actually have $25 off $100 right now.

Yeti tumbler or water bottle.

You laugh, but I was serious. Had I not found my tumbler on clearance at RK, I’d have never spent the money on it. I'd gladly pay full price now if I had to replace it. Use it every day
