CVS-ing at Bass Pro Shops

Awhile ago, Daniel and I started putting purchases on his BassPro Rewards card. You earn points and can spend them at BassPro just as dollars. I put all of our gas, food, supplies, etc...on it --it adds up quickly!(We just pay off each month in full so there is no interest.) He uses the points for all of the fishing/ hunting stuff he'd like and gets them for free.

He bought a gun the other day and was just shy of the total points needed. However, the gun has a $25 manufacturer's rebate which means they will actually pay him for taking the gun from them!

This one I'm anxious to see b/c it's a muzzle-loader (think The Patriot, consequently on Daniel's list of favorite historical movies. Additionally, I believe I already mentioned, the place where he hunts actually was the site of filming for the Patriot. I guess if I were a good wife, I would be sewing colonial-era militia garb for him to run around in???)

With a muzzle-loader you have to ram everything down into the barrel to fire it-like you see on old movies. I think it'll be neat to see.

Wow! That's awesome...What a great deal!

You should sew up some garb for him! I'm sure he would love to go show off his new "toy" at one of those reenactment conventions. =)

He's never really gotten into that-but it would be funny. He just hunts, no dress up. He is a History buff tho'.

That is awesome! We do the same thing with our credit card points and have so far gotten two ipods, a Bose ipod speaker, and $200 spa dollars for free. I love credit card incentives (but it only works to your advantage if you pay off each month - I just have to say that).

I want to see him dressed up in the funny garb!
