The last actual purchase? A $2 metal plate from KMart. Bragged about it 24 hours ago. Makes for a saucepan lid, pancake grill, and.. a plate. Sweet.
Today's /attempted/ purchase? ... I chucked the 12yo Thermarest a while back (it only ever worked properly without leaking twice..), and decided to try out a new cheap knockoff. The local Boutique Outdoors store, Kathmandu(.
com.au), had this on their website for $32/$39. (

..I trot into the store at Parra... and the ticker price is ~$120.
"Hurr, that was probably a web-only deal..."
A 400% price difference on web-store offers? Plus, you can see that it's not a price price on the URL above. Gave the grunt the mat back, "this is yours."
