Perfect example is AA shotshells RIGHT NOW ! reg $95 a case == net price after all discounts/sales/rebates = $41 a case !!!
the 'math'
reg price = $94.99
sale price = $84.99
$20 off $100 = $64.99
$20 AA rebate = $44.99
$3.50 gas disc = $41.49
Good post. A lot of people complain about Cabela's prices. What many don't understand is what you have explained. You've got to do your homework, along with the math, and not just, "go in and buy". I live just 2 miles from the Glendale, Arizona Cabela's. And I'm in there all the time. If you combine the discount cards they send out, along with, "employee discount pricing" coupons, (which vary from item to item), you can really make out. Even on items that are already on sale. Cabela's is one of the few stores that allow you to, "double up" on coupons and discounts. They also have good deals on FMJ range ammo. I've bought 115 FMJ 9 MM for as little as $7.85 a box, (brass cased, boxer primed, and reloadable), after applying all of the discounts that were available at the time.
It's the same with guns and magazines. Some are no deal at all. Others can be a steal if you again apply all of the discounts available. Time of the year is important as well. This is pretty much the "dead season" for most firearm related stuff. Especially after the results of the last election. So look for deals from June to late August. Once the hunting season starts in the Fall, not so much. They also opened a new Sportsman's Warehouse just a few miles from Cabela's. (We now have a total of 3 Valley wide). And that competition helps drive good deals as well.... From both places.
