While it shopping today at a local department store, I found myself browsing through the seasonal section.  They were trying to get rid of all of the winter seasonal items such as snow shovels, snowblowers, and window scrapers.  Moving past the winter stuff I noticed that they had a lot of their summer stuff out.

There didn’t seem to be any items on sale so I moved quickly through the aisle.  As I got closer to the end of the aisle, I noticed a metal cart with a bunch of boxes on it.  Once I got closer, I realized that it was a bunch of canvas wall tents.

I took a quick look at them and noticed that they had a reduced sticker on them but no price.  I found a sales clerk and asked her to do a price check for me and when she returned she informed me that their price was 75% off the last ticketed price of $200.  At that price, I couldn’t afford to pass them up and I bought three of the tents.

I was very happy with the discount camping supplies that I purchased and from now on I’ll make a little more of an effort to find great deals at the store.
