Has Anyone Else Lost the REI Mojo?

Big sale just started, took a look and didn't see anything I wanted except Jelly Bellies, which of course aren't on sale.

I could use the 20% off one full-price-item coupon, but it ends up being only 60 cents for a bag at 3 bucks. Kind of a waste of the coupon. I did see some backpacker's creme brulee..

Nope, never had it.......l always find a better price somewhere else..... but Jelly Bellys ?? at REI. Try all a dollar store

yeah, it wasn't all that long ago that the SLC REI had a big bucket of long spoons for 0.99 each. now they're individually wrapped and they're at least ten bucks. that's not inflation, it's just catering to a different kind of customer

Or gouging.

I don't actually buy jelly bellies at REI - actually, I don't buy anything there anymore. I used to love that store, but it's changed, and I haven't.
