Blue Light Special!!

[LMITOUT]

The K-Mart in my town is being closed due to the company having financial problems, so I thought I'd see if there were any bargains. Bascially there is 10-20% off on the entire store. I checked the fishing section and found Frabill Polar Tip-ups marked at $17 with another 10% off. When they rang up, I got them for $10.20/each! I cleaned out the rack and took five home.

If you have a K-Mart in your area going out of business, it may pay to check out the fishing section one last time. Other than that, they didn't have much as they never really did before anyway.

Stopped in the Columbia Heights store last Thursday. They are also slated to close. Found nothing I wanted except two cheap folding chairs.

Store is already pretty barren.

I went back to Kmart and found more Frabill tip-ups, now at $8.50 each. They had five and I bought them all. I went back last night, and they had seven more out so I grabbed them too. All in all, I picked up 17 for the price of 7. Not too shabby.

Too bad we can only use two lines here in MN. I use four when fishing in ND though, and my buddies have bought quite a few from me. Can't beat that blue light special.

Yeppers..all ice-fishing equipment is 50% off, I stocked up on ice rod & reel combos...a "real steal"! Now I'm waitiing for the summer fishing equipment clearance!

They had a few Strike Master 10 inch power ice augers that were regularly price at $319 reduced to $240 and than to top it off they were 50% off of that. So I bought mine for $128 after taxes.

Now At my store in Mankato all fishing stuff is 20% off lowest marked price. I think if you are willing to wait, the prices will drop even farther.

I heard the store in Mankato closes May 7th

That's a heck of deal on that auger. I only saw hand augers at my K-mart, but not in the auger market right now anyway. Too bad they don't have much for quality summer fishing equipment, or I'd be buying some rods/reels for sure.

The clerk said this store is supposed to close June 1st.

Hubcat, which store did you pick up that auger at? I might be up for a road trip if the price is right.

Cool! Glad to see other's getting good deals as well. I've bought a total of 17 (cleaned them out 3 times).They are all spoken for and people said they will still take more.
