I thought I'd share a deal I just found and took advantage of. Sierra Trading Post is clearing out their Steiner Wildlife XP 8x44 binocs for $450. The cheapest I've seen them elsewhere is around $700-800. If you use the Ebates shopping portal to shop at Sierra, you can get an additional 14% cashback today for Valentines day. Also, use shipping code Ship89 for free shipping when checking out at Sierra. I've always wanted to get higher-end binoculars, but haven't wanted to spend the money. This seemed like a cheap way to get into upper-end glass. Not surprisingly, I don't think they have many left in stock.

If you aren't an Ebates member, signup and shop through their portal (find the Sierra store on the Ebates site and click the Shop Now button) . . . and if you want to thank me for helping you spend money grin, I think if you use this referral link to sign up, I'll get a referral credit Ebates Referral and you'll get $10 for signing up. Either way, Ebates (and other shopping credit sites like Active Junky) offers a great way to earn real cash back on your online purchases. Every little bit helps.


Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above. Don't fence me in.
