Boots. Everyone needs good boots.

 

Cabelas is not cheap. Any guns lately I've got online. Your area may be different. Cabelas does have good service.
Have you looked online at their bargain basement? $100 goes pretty fast.

 

Wait until end-of-season sale, add coupons and any discounts you're eligible for, and buy clothes, tent, dog flotation, floating inflatable solar LED lights, spare oars/paddles. filters, canner, reloading stuff, smoker, sausage casings, canning lids, tattlers, vacuum sealer and bags, meat grinder, deer hanging thing, game cart or dragger, pitons, snowshoes, ice axe, stove-top stainless percolator, night vision, blood clotting impregnated bandages, or something else you need/want but wasn't very high up on the priority list, that you can't get someplace else cheaper. Or you just like the Cabela's item better (nicer, better fit, more durable, better color/pattern, etc.).

 

Don't know you, so no idea what you might like.

We don't need anything either, but could certainly find a whole bunch of things we'd like just walking around (or checking online).

From stock ups (canning, first aid, reloading, socks etc), to a new multitool, on to clothing (don't need, nor really want any, though could certainly find something fun/useful).

Fudge.

Roasted peanuts.

As to another gun, yeah sure.

The price would have to be REALLY REALLY good for us to buy one at Cabelas, as there buying procedure here in Oregon is supposedly quite convoluted. We get "instant" approved at normal FFL dealers, but (again, supposedly) Cabelas has you go to another line and wait to get background checked, which has you waiting behind folks whom may have issues. Have heard stories of folks waiting hours.

Longest wait we've had for background check was about 45 minutes, and that was because the Oregon State Police computer was down, and the FFL had to phone it in (they were quite confused as to how to go about doing that, which was most of time delay). Usually our approval is truly "instant", with it taking longer for the dealer to enter the info into the system.

 

Cabela's also carries things like #10 cans of freeze-dried foods, water containers, wilderness medical supplies, etc., so there are lot of options, depending on where you are with your preps.

 

Partial payment on a:
Smoker
Meat grinder
Sausage stuffer
Food Saver
Dehydrator
Etc.

 

Great. Now I'm wishing I had a $100 gift card just laying around.

 

Water filters

 

Primers and Powder

 

I would buy some Cabellas brand clothing. I have several shirts and jackets/ coats from them. Kind of expensive, but good quality and they seem to last a long time.

 

Agree with #2..... Boots!


......

 

If you live in a cold environment, get a pair of Pinnacle Gortex gloves. I got my pair for christmas over a decade ago and they still work great. I've never had cold hands wearing them. Boots, gloves, head cover and you'll stay warm.

Otherwise, look for a sale or for something in the bargain cave. Sometimes their ammunition goes on sale and it's closer to internet or regular prices.

 

I believe they are about to merge with Bass Pro Shop. Still might be awhile but just a heads up.

 

Ammo......... you never have to much.

Some type optics on sale

 

Does Cabelas sell gift cards? I'd buy an Amazon gift card.

 

I would buy something that you have wanted but didn't want to invest funds into yet -- this is free cash

 

Cabela's has a really nice tackle backpack that I would buy. I've been eyeballing it for a while now.

 

My sons got me one as well.
I went into the bargain cave and found a nice fly rod, case, and reel,
then I went to the reloading department and picked up the latest Lyman reloading guide,
found a couple of small items to round out a couple of reloading kits, (sold them)
and ended up spending a couple of bucks out of pocket.

I'm a big fan of the bargain cave, the rod & reel would have used up 2 gift cards.
I've gotten scopes for cheap and a gear box that's now bolted down in the back of my truck.

 

Whatever you do don't dither between two or three thing it makes loss prevention nervous.
I had 2 $20 card I had been carrying around for over a year. The nearest cabelas is 2-3 hours from me.
I was passing one and remembered the cards decided to dump them.
Go to camping, pickup something walk to shooting the two combined are over the $40 back and forth trying to get as close as I can .
Start feeling the eyes. Then the "can I help you find something ?"
"No,just trying to spend money I can't spend anywhere else"
Did that three times
Final settled on a box of 180gr XTPs and a bag of licorice.
They didn't want me back so badly they gave me the balance of the cards in cash.

As to what
Heavy merino wool socks nothing like a pair of new socks.

A nice knife. You can never have too many of them either.
