Sorry, I'm about to do a sales pitch, but I'm not getting a monetary or spiritual reward, like other door-to-door types... Everyone knows about REI. If you're looking to buy outdoor gear or fitness clothing right now, there's nowhere better to do so. They've got the Internet's best selection of boots, packs, tarps, tents, camp chairs, and gadgets. But, how many of you are actually members? Probably very few, even though it only requires a $30, one-time payment. Well, now is the best time to sign up, because from now until March 25, REI is offering members 20 percent off of any full priced item, as well as select items in its outlet. And even if you join today, right now, you still get this member discount.
Your crunchy relatives that love to hike, camp, and live life outdoors are already card-carrying REI members, and they're probably all over this deal. You should join in as well, because this sale includes a ton of brands that don't typically go on sale. YETI almost never does big sales, but it's in here with coolers and drinkware. On Running is riding so high right now, it's rarely going on sale. And, of course, Patagonia, a staple of the crunchy community, is in the mix.
To be fair, there are some brands that are excluded from the sale. They are, unsurprisingly, the bestselling brands on the website. Arc'teryx, Garmin, and Hoka are all exempt from the sale. But! Like I said, there's plenty of other heavy hitters here.
My expert advice for this sale? Shop the popular styles from big brands. If there's something you really want in the outlet, go for it! But generally speaking, that YETI cooler never goes on sale. A Patagonia down jacket in a core color like black or navy is never going to be on sale. So, buy a membership if you never have, and shop these selects.
