Thread: Academy Olive Branch

Yesterday the first 100 people that could prove they like or follow AS got a gift card valued at $20 to $500. Today the first 50 people got a shirt valued at $29.99 to $39.99. Not sure if there is anything for tomorrow. The 25th, 26th and 27th will have about the same thing. Like you, I'm not standing in line.
Last year I did the online survey. Most of the time the first question was like, "did you play golf this weekend?" or "did you play team sports this weekend?" The answer would be "no". That's all of the survey, thank you. They sent me a $25 gift card.

Reloading supplies are on 2 end caps, not very much and over priced.

I'm sure I saw $6.99 on the 100 pack of Winchester 22LR ammo. Didn't watch as Megan rang it up. Got home and my receipt shows $8.99 per pack. Return in the morning to double check and get my $16 back or return them. I can get CCI's cheaper.
I got a 1.5 lb folding anchor for my kayak, shelf price was $5.99 and the receipt shows $4.99.
I didn't see any Arkie lures and their reloading supplies looked like crap.

Gotta commend you. Very few people would go back and show them where they made a dollar error on your purchase. I know it's only a buck but some folks would go ahead and keep it. Again, I commend you!

Wouldn't expect anything else from Jimmy. The man is penny wise ! That is a good thing in my book.

Penny cheap and dollar wise.
It totaled $17.12 and I got a free box for bring it to their attention, so add another $7.47.
Now if I can get a positive answer to a PM I sent last week everything will be fine.
The Commercial Appeal had a article years ago against Goldsmith's. Items would be on sale, but rang up at regular price. The reply was, "we hope people don't see this, if they do we will give them the difference."

I went to the Academy Fri. Not impressed w/ the fishing dept. Not very much for us crappie guys. Only good thing I saw was Bandits @ $5.69 vs $6.99 @ the Warehouse, but not a good selection. No Arkie cranks. Have 2 $10 coupons I'll use tomorrow, but after that prolly won't go back unless I hear of a good deal on something. In my opinion, Academy is similar to Dick's, that cater to all sports and don't cover hunting/fishing areas that great.

We use the grill at campsites, but they can be nasty and falling apart. It takes a while to clean up before using. My son said he would buy a cheap grill instead of using them anymore, like this one. Backyard Grill 17.5" Charcoal Grill - Walmart.com
While walking around academy we spotted this one for $9, so we got one. Outdoor Gourmet 18" Foldable Charcoal Grill | Academy
