I went to 3 different Dick's in my area the other day looking for 2 sleeping bags. Both are the mummy style and one is rated 0degrees, the other is from 0-40 with removeable liners. I saw them onilne on the website and figured I would just go and pick them up. Not the case. They either didn't carry them or were out of stock.
So I just got fished purchasing these 2 bags on their website, not only did I save the gas driving around town and the hassle of waiting in line I also got them both shipped for free (free shipping on purchases over $100) to my door. I also DID NOT have to pay any sales tax. The total was $115 for both shipped, and that saved me about $10 dollars in city/state sales tax.
Looks like I'll be doing a lot more online shopping. With the free shipping to the house and the lack of sales tax that will really add up on larger purchases.
