ETFnerd Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 SPANDEX PALOOZA BABY! I AM DROWNING IN CHEAP SPANDEX...WOOHOO!!!So I've been waiting for this for over a week and I am so excited. Here it goes... I was on the puma.com site last week because slickdeals.net indicated that it was having a sale on workout gear, so I went there and saw that there was clearance on my beloved spandex Usain Bolt Essentials Running tights. I love these for running in Winter, even indoors at the treadmill.These normally sell for $65:The clearance price was $7.50 at the site. On top of that, there was a 40% off code which brought the price down to $4.50. On top of that there was an additional $10 friends and family coupon on the order. So I decided to order 10. I couldn't get the $10 coupon to work but the 40% discount code worked and the price was $45 for 10. I also paid 5% tax and $7 shipping as follows:Invoice Date: 12/09/11 SHIP TOPRODUCT NUMBER/ (SEE QUANTITY QUANTITY UNIT DESCRIPTION BELOW) ORDERED SHIPPED PRICE STATUS885446105324 1 10 10 4.50 ITEM SHIPPING FROM MANUFACT 507009 01 US:M Merchandise Net: 45.00 Tax Amt: 2.60 Shipping Amt: 7.00 Total Amt: 54.60Payments: Charge Amt: 54.60 Balance: 0.00Here is the invoice from the shipment that doesn't show the tax or shipping:I thought that Puma would cancel the order because the price was ridiculous. Today, I received the package WooHoo!!!!!: Quote i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

Guest guest4729 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Holy crap that's an insanely good deal! I need some more workout clothes, I'll have to look for some awesome bargains like that. I'm always flabbergasted when I see people get such awesome deals - even more surprised when it's a man. Most of the men I know would be too lazy to go search out deals like that. Haha. Right now I just work out wearing yoga pants because they're comfortable, light, cheap and all I have. My next purchase will be some running shoes, though. Quote Link to comment

You could always modify them. fabric paint or patches or racing stripes or something. If you're gonna be cool and wear spandex, you might as well go all out and be SUPER cool with spandex mods!

If you're gonna be cool and wear spandex, you might as well go all out and be SUPER cool with spandex mods! I concur. I feel like you should find some reflective tape or paint to put on them. Perhaps you could also do some war paint on your face. Hehe. Quote Link to comment
WizardTrip Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I need to find some deals on workout clothes myself, but not sure I'll ever be the one to go spandex (at least not until my superhero personality comes out). Still, unbelievable deal!!!

Haha.Some of us have seen the light :-) I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue's corporate office for 5 years, and got use to NEVER paying full price for anything (they owned 9 other department store chains at the time). Now that I'm no longer there, I bargain shop.
