Hey Gang,
I just scored some great deals at the local SprawlMart and I thought that we needed a section where we could brag about what great luck we had.
So post up you're scores no matter how you came by them. You might turn someone one to a great buy somewhere.

SprawlMart had Wolf brand Chilli for $1 a 15oz can so I cleared the shelf. I put away 32 meals ready to shit for a buck a piece!

O I got one.
I just placed an order from someone ( trustworthy ) that is selling IMI 147 Grain Subsonic 9mm
Specifically says " this ammo sucks 3/5 go supersonic "
I'm not running anything suppressed so I asked " Have you had any faulty rounds? Failure to detonate anything like that? "
He said " No, just some seem to break the speed of sound. "
So I order 5 boxes of 50 for $4 a piece. + 10 Shipping. That's still way cheaper than the value pack at Wally
FUCK YEAH [url=http://www.freesmileys.or

I assume you haven't had economics yet. "There is no thing as a free lunch" comes to mind. Your mom still had to pay for it, so no, it was not free.

old news isnt relevant to current situations? it only grows truer every day... getting it where you can while you can might get you screwed by some one if they can when they can.
Im not saying dont buy from walmart im just saying dont buy it all at one time.

So I live in a pretty small town and because of that people get to know one another, maybe not really know them but see them around, know where they live and what not.
Because of that I tend to not clear the shelf anywhere I go I also joke around about what I do buy. Like saying "damn thats a good buy, I don't know when or how I am going to eat that much chilli but by god I can't pass up that good of a deal!" Mostly people think I am cheap like fuck. Which is better than blowing my local OPSEC.

naw man, I did it. Just pulling your leg bro.
I wanted to see how you would take it and you did good.

Even if you stole the vehicle and gas for the vehicle, that still cost somebody something, so you fail again.
Even if you killed a deer with a knife that you created out of the ground, it still took you TIME to kill the deer. If you didn't know, TIME is money, so you still fail.
You see, you can never get away from economics. Economics is organic.

Hello Gents.
I picked up a Moss 500 modded. A bunch of 00 and slugs. I also bought cast iron cookwear to cook on the wood stove or open flame. I filled up seven 5 gallon Jerry cans. Yes, the monsoon is headed our way. May think about cashing shit as well.

I can understand why you offer proof. That is an unbelievable deal. Congrats. Those kinds of opportunitites don't show up very often. It's nice to have cash on hand when they do. :)

I got a brand new pair of Altama boots today for 7 bucks god I love goodwill!
-
I hope they weren't these ones... (http://www.specwargear.com/images/footwear-altima-4.jpg)
The rubber is too damned soft, but hell for $7 bucks I'd mark it a win!

Those look like the standard army issue boots?
Those things are awesome once they get broke in, if thats what they are.
Can you elaborate the situation that gave you a bad experience with the standard army issue boots? ( if thats what they were )
-
For $7 I don't give a dam about soft rubber. It will last longer than tennis shoes.
-
Thats them they arent stained at all and dont look like they have been worn at all! I call it a win at $7.
-
I'll take a photo in a minute for you Reaver, you are right that they are light, cool and comfy once broken in.
But I tear the soles off of them in little chunks.

I was on the horn with Reaver last night and I told him something that I could have swore I had posted up but I guess he had missed it you I am posting it here because it is a wicked score and a success that can be shared!
Mechanics us a product called 'Zep Brake Clean,' they use a lot of it these days. This product comes in really nice 30 gallon steel drums that Zep doesn't buy back from them so after a while the average shop has enough of them turned into trash cans that they don't mind parting with a couple of them and most often they let them go for nothing.
We got on the topic because we were talking about putting fuel away and Reaver lamented over the cost of 5 gallon cans. I think that it will prove to be much more economical to only own one or two 5 gallon cans and use them to ferry gas to and fro the station, barrel and tank.

Down loaded an ap for my droid about a week ago (free) that is the us army survival guide covers a LOT of really good info. Ill give one example that I learned.boil oak bark for several hours have a cure all for just about any external injury save for a sunburn. Tannic acids build up more in red red oak than white.the longer you boil the bark the darker the concoction gets the stronger your EXTERNAL ointment will be.seriously if you haven't read this get it.if you ignore such information go choke your self to death or find something sharp to fall onto.if you read it you can learn how to make a spear trap to run through and you won't have to find something shap to fall on because then it could just fall on you!

Alright here is a good one for you guys.
I traded a Yankee Hill front gas block and site for a MI ( Midwest Industries Inc, ) rear site.
The rifle came with a Magpul but I donated it to my father because its the only one that will fit under the scope he is running on his rifle ANYWHO--- I got the MI ERS ( Emergency Rear Site ) for trade, when I zeroed it I had to crank it all the way to the right, I mean flush against the right side of the site.
A good friend of mine said " It's probably defective, see if they will replace it "
Well I got un-lazy and sent an email to MI and WITHIN 15 minutes I got a reply. Let me quote.
Please give us your shipping address I will send you out a replacement. We want the old one back so I will send a call tag. Thanks. Troy
That is the response I got in 15 MINUTES!!4 days later a brand new site shows up at my door. Amazing. That is what I call costumer service, that shit is like Mom and Pop service right there. I like it, so now any time Midwest Industries is brought up they will for sure be getting a [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co from me.
I mean shit, they even paid for both shipping TO and FRO.
You just don't find that no more. I guess some companies still believe in
[url=http://www.freesmileys.or 'Merica Fuck Yeah

I am so glad that worked out for you Reaver.
Good to hear someone still know what service is!

Scored 40 rounds of Federal gold match 168 gr. for $20. Should've been $50.
On a side note. I seen a good buddy of mine today. Probably haven't talked in about 2-3 months. After preaching to him for about 3 years on prepping he finally did. I guess he was waiting to catch up to me a little and then talk, but he got his first AR (DPMS for a good price so I can't give him to much shit), ammo, gear, heirloom seeds, garden, etc. all going strong so FUCK YEAH!!! :D It's awesome when you know you've made a good impact on someone's life.

finally I have a reason to post in this thread!
check it out! I scored 2 food-grade 55-gallon drums (used only once for commercial blueberry purposes) for $10!! that's $10 for both.. $5 a piece.
backstory: I've been driving past this old man's house for months now and he's always got a pile of nasty rusty metal drums for $5 and I never bothered because they always look so nasty I doubted whether or not they could even hold liquid.
well today i decided to stop anyway and ask if he had any food-grade drums, and he says "of course! they're all food grade!"... I wondered if he even knew wtf I was talking about and said "no.. like... never held any nasty chemicals or anything... like.. good to hold shit that I plan to eat..." and he's like "oh!!! yea those are in the back!"
so he brought me to another pile of drums that have only ever held blueberries, which is proven by the smell, and also by the labels on the outside of them. FUCKYEA! needless to say, I'll be back for more. $5 food-grade drums is a fucking hell of a success story if you ask me. I'll finally be starting my rainwater-harvesting project that I've been putting off. :))

be on the lookout for a miniature photo-documentary of the construction of my water harvesting rig. I'm going to make it nice and detailed and write out a good step-by-step of how I did it. it'll probably be in D.I.Y. I was thinking of shooting a video of the process but A: i don't have the software to splice that many pieces of footage.. I'd be working on it for weeks with WMM. and B: I already did it so... too late, lol. but I took plenty pictures of the process.
i did most of the work today and the bastard would be finished and ready for rain if I wasn't waiting on some "fast-drying" (*cough*... bullshit) silicone waterproof sealant to dry.
thread should be up sometime tomorrow.
