Buying a Yeti in Starkville?

[drail14me]

Where's the best place to get a Yeti in the Starkville area? Does anyone have any better deals over others?

Prayers sent**

I've never came across anyone who fessed up to actually buying one. It's always "from the rep" or a "company bonus".

 

[AFDawg]

Just wants the sticker.

You KNOW they attract morons when car dealerships are able to leverage them sell a truck.

I actually won mine. I didn't know what the hell it was. My wife was looking at an open house and dropped an entry for each of us in the basket.

The woman called all excited and I had no idea what it was. Its a nice cooler, but I wouldn't have dropped $300 on it. To each their own.

Try East Miss Lumber Co. They sell them I think. Not sure of the price though.

Saw a truck this weekend with a YETI sticker that had a Coleman strapped down to the back basket.

 

[Maroon37]

They sell them at Maroon and Company and at University Screeenprint

Wait

a minute. You're going to actually buy one?

Exactly. A vendor gave me one. I didn't know what the hell it was. My wife said, "you know that's a very expensive cooler, don't you?" I said, "can we plant perennials in it?" I handed it to her. Haven't seen it since.

 

[J-Dawg]

Sarcasm aside, I believe Yeti coolers (and their competitors for the most part) are pretty much price-locked across the board. They should be the same price regardless of where you get them.

 

[AFDawg]

I'll say this. I'd never buy a Yeti cooler. But somebody game me a Yeti tumbler, and that thing is amazing.

Have heard the coolers aren't that special, especially for the price you pay. The tumblers are excellent though. Go to Bells building supply on Lampkin street, they seem to have decent prices compared to even Amazon

I'll pay you $65 for it. If you have the sticker for my truck, I'll throw in a couple hundred extra**

I knocked out 2 birds with 1 stone.

Yeti is the Nickelback of coolers. They do millions in merch a year, yet you never see a shirt.

 

[codeDawg]

+1. I have two sizes of those. I wouldn't buy a cooler at 75% off, but I use the heck out of the tumblers. The big one is awesome for tailgating too. It holds two beers, the top filters out any foam, and the last sip is as cold as the first.

A few people in my office have YETI cups. Travel cups...only with a permanent open hold in the lid. Odd.
$30 for something that holds ice and a 12oz Coke?

$40 for a piece of metal that holds ice and water?!?

How 17ing slow do you have to be to need the YETI technology to keep your ice from melting?!?! I have a plastic cup on my desk from the 2004 basketball season that I took home from The Hump and ice is left after each time I finish the water. I am sure all the cadmium and other crazy toxic chemicals have long since leeched out of the cup at this point, so drinking from the plastic is just as good as from metal. It cost me $2.50...over a decade ago. And a free Coke was thrown in the deal.

It still needs a Drake sticker.**

A buddy of mine bought a $40 Yeti tumbler. He uses it primarily on the golf course. I'm sure it does do a good job, but I'm not going to sip on something long enough to need it. He uses it when playing golf and I can guarantee you he knocks out the drink long before the round of golf is done. But whatever floats your boat.

I was looking for a soft shell ice cooler not long ago. No way I was going to pay $250 for a Yeti. I ended up buying a $45 Norchill brand that does what I need. Keeps drinks cool for 2 full days. I guess if I went camping a lot for several days at a time a Yeti might be worth it, but I don't.

Why don't you "received mine as a gift" like everybody else does?

Drive to West Point and get it at Gary's.
