All Things Rural King

[Diggin It]

Not really promoting the stores, just general discussion of things found there, good, bad or indifferent.

--------------------


First up, the 12% Rebate sale ... when is it? I got emails about it last year at the end of August, but I haven't seen anything yet this fall.

Looks like an eastern chain

We call it Redneck Walmart....

They have some good stuff and some cheap junk.

I bought two pairs of shorts there this spring for my job. Tried a pair on. It fit great, so I grabbed another one, paid and went home. Couple weeks later, I wore the first pair. Went to put something in the left front cargo pocket..... can't. It's sewn shut! So I put the other pair on.... they fell off. A full 2" larger than the other pair, but the exact same on the labels.

Moral of the story? What do you expect from $10 shorts from Rural King, Walmart, etc..... I should have stuck with name-brand items, tried both on in the store, and checked all the pockets at the store.

Now, I have gotten some good deals on some better stuff there, that's for sure. But the store is no better or worse than any other huge, bottom line retailer.

I do like them better than TSC, though. They have a lot more selection, and better prices.

Sounds like my latest adventure to TSC.. I hate buying junk, I’ll probably never go in there again, went through 30 bags taste of the wild quality dog food looking for one without holes in it, nope, no can do...

Free popcorn.

Good prices on guns. You can also order on-line and go to the store for pick up.

Very inexpensive Rural King blue jeans. Mine didn’t last long, though.

Rural King here is consistently cheaper on chemicals than Tractor Supply

For me the issue is tsc is 5 min away rural king 45. So I price shop them all the time. Tsc will match rural king prices. Just show them the rural king web page with the price.

It's about 800 miles to my nearest store, so they would need to have some pretty good specials to make it worthwhile.

Goeduck - U hit the nail squarely on its head. Appears the Mississippi is the Western boundary for Rural King.
