Well, the Friday of Color sales I wanted to take advantage of turned out to be a bust. Of the few things I wanted, most had sold out virtually instantly. I suppose this is a good thing since it keeps me from spending money.
Or, at least, it was until I noted that silver dipped down to around $15.50 today. Time to call the Pimp. Speaking of the ‘Pimp, he came by the other day with a silver round for me that he said came from someone who reads the website. So, to that benefactor, I thank you sincerely. When the zombie hordes are finally decapitated into the dustbin of history I shall praise your memory as I barter the silver for lapdances from grateful-yet-still-hot survivors at the local stripclub-turned-impromptu-fortress.
Just because I didn’t get the things I was looking for this Friday doesn’t mean there arent bargains and great values out there. Go! Shop! Acquire! Since ‘Black Friday’ has all but become a holiday I figured it was time to add another synthetic holiday to the pantheon of reasons-to-buy-stuff. Thus, tomorrows post is all about Paratus, the holiday of survivalists.
ETA: Dammit. Almost made it out of Sportsmans Warehouse without getting Friday Of Color’ed. But..but…its M855 on stripper clips! $169.99! Its the ballistic equivalent of Doritos – you can’t just eat a few.
I got a bunch of little stuff from Lucky Gunner for about half off. A bore snake, a pair of 12x Bushnell bino’s, a range bag and several Butler Creek ‘hot lips’ 25 rd 10/22 mags. I wanted more 10/22 mags and had my eye on the Ruger BXP 25’s but for the price of a pair of them I got 10 of these. Also picked up some shotgun shells I planned to order anyway.
Saw a link to a Leatherman on Amazon for $19.99 so got that also. It was probably 40% off. Excluding the mags and shotgun shells none of it was stuff I planned to buy right now but more generally on the want or ‘will buy when it hits X price’ list.
I did take advantage of Wal-Mart’s sale on firearms. There is a particular rifle I have had my eye on, knocking $100 off was the kicker for me.
How about a good deal on some Magpul 30rd magazines. 7.90 a piece.

Allow me to steer the gentlemen to what my husband calls the best underwear ever. Expensive, sorta, but seriously comfortable. And – the siren call to all women – they’re on sale! (His opinion is solely based on the briefs and sport mesh boxer brief…)
