REI Oakbrook Terrace Garage Sale Tomorrow 12-30

Just a quick FYI. The REI Oakbrook Terrace store in Illinois is having their Garage Sale tomorrow(December 30th, 2010) at 9 Am. Because it is kind of a strange day and time, I am not able to make it to the sale, although some compatriots of mine will be there looking after my gear collecting interests. I anticipate that this sale will have the usual returned and semi-damaged items, but the pot may also be sweetened with some Christmas returns. Get there early and get add to your camping gear stockpile. Good luck!

They advertise that prices for could be up to 60% off, although at a previous REI garage sale, I have seen items discounted more than that. Get there early, for a better chance of snagging the best items. Previously I have purchased a "REI Rentals" 3 man tent for $20 at the REI Oakbrook Terrace Garage Sale. I will be there this time, and I hope you are there too...but hopefully behind me in line.

we got an email from an adventurer in Fresno wondering when their local Fresno REI was having its garage sale. Although it is easily googleable, I decided to post the answer for them.

More specifically 36° 50.922' N 119° 47.406' W

The details: Members only sale. Will have great used and out of stock camping, hiking, and adventuring equipment items. Arrive early (a few hours early) for best (any) selection.

REI Anniverary Sale

The time is upon us to stock up on adventuring gear. REI is currently in the midst of their anniversary sale. The sale includes 15% off of bikes, 20% off of some racks and boxes, and a good amount of items up for clearance. This sale ends May 10th. 

I am contemplating purchasing the GSI dualist lightweight cook system to go with my new single burner camp stove. Also, I may buy some Mountain House freeze dried food.

This is not a commercial for REI, but it happens to be my favorite store, and in a recession or not, it is always a good time to stock up on adventuring gear.
