REI 20% discount for members. An excuse to buy something?

Well, I sure took it as such. Picked up a new pair of trail runners. Now I just have to… ya know… actually get out and run… on a trail.

If you are a member of REI, this lasts for the rest of the month. You can use it on any one item, with some exclusions – like boats (grrrr, figures since I am actually in the market for a kayak).

It is a fairly good deal if you are looking for a big ticket item – such as one of their Novara bikes, or a technical bag or tent.
