B&B Charcoal on Sale

[klflowers]

At Ace. I got this flyer in the mail the other day - I am a rewards member, so i get a coupon every year near my bday. I think the sale is $12.99 instead of $15.99. I can get up to 5 bags for $7.99 each. Looks like I'll be loading up. Worth the free rewards membership.

[DaveD]

Hey, thanks for giving everyone your member number, Kev! OK folks, you know what to do...

[klflowers]

You're welcome 🙂

[RichieB]

Why would I use your membership when I have my own? Rewards to my account. Now credit card, that's another story.
😬

[jfmorris]

Well thanks for the notice! I’m a rewards member too and better check my mailbox for a coupon card….

[klflowers]

You're welcome. I may hit up a couple stores, do what I used to do with KBB before covid

[Steve R.]

No need for a coupon card. I'm a member and this shows up in my Ace app.

[Andrrr]

I have that same one clipped and waiting for 7/3

[BKYDBBQ]

I am wondering is the limit of 5 per person over three days or 5 per visit.

Asking for a friend...

[John Henry]

Thank you, Dr. Flowers. You da' man!

I didn’t get this flyer and I am a member …… I’ll go check them out this weekend.

Haha, funny. I just checked my ACE account - my single purchase was picking up on July 8, 2025, 6 bags of this same stuff. $8.99 per bag. Looks like it's time, since I just finished up the last bag, I think. Perfect timing!



<edit> Just checked, and my ACE shows the 17.6lb bags at $16.99. Doesn't appear to be on sale here. Same bag at WM is $32, but I ain't payin' that, either.

WTF is up with that??? $32 for B&B comp briquettes in a 17.6lb bag?? But Oak LUMP B&B is $15.97 for 20 lbs. <sigh> Things are just so screwed up right now.

Cowboy with their big briquettes is $17.92 for 40lbs - roughly 1/4 of the B&B comp? Ridiculous. Even the Cowboy All Natural Hardwood Briquettes are $9.97 for 14lbs. It actually looks like for some reason WM skyrocketed the price of the B&B, it didn't used to be that much even a month or two ago. Something weird is going on.


....


Oooooh I see. This is being sold by a 3rd party - "Sold and shipped by TEcH LLC Custome Support" as my local store appears to be out. So weird. Now when I click in local store, it shows up at $9.99/bag, but when choosing the product, it then shows the $32/bag and in-store or pickup options are not available, it seems to be sold out. Well that explains it more.

Gotta pay attention to this stuff. Oh well, I'll wait till it comes back in, or pick up 40lbs of Cowboy briquettes, I ain't in no big rush.

[klflowers]

I haven't used Cowboy in quite awhile. Last time i tried it there was lots of dust in the bag. I take it that has improved? I see a lot of it in stores.

[realdocBBQ]

If you're talking about the lump, I haven't been impressed with the Cowboy lump, but I do like the hardwood briquettes. I've had good luck with them. Only reason I've used the B&B for a year is I bought a bunch on sale. It's good stuff, too, though, no complaints about B&B Competition.

[klflowers]

Yeah, I was talking about the lump. I'll have to try the briqs

[Steve R.]

Thanks for the heads up! I had quit buying B&B at Ace years ago because Academy has it $5/bag cheaper everyday.

[klflowers]

Welcome

[HawkerXP]

Happy Birthday!

[klflowers]

Thanks! First one as an official retired old fogey

[jfmorris]

Ok, got the Ace Rewards app installed, and see the sale for the charcoal in there. AND by downloading the app - I now have a $10 off coupon for my next purchase of $10 or more! I'll go grab 5 bags, knock another $10 off, and be happy. Assuming they have 5 bags when they open tomorrow morning....

[SheilaAnn]

Just checked my closest Ace. $19.99 😔

[klflowers]

SheilaAnn be careful using my number in Cali. I may have left some unresolved issues last time I was there...

[SheilaAnn]

klflowers 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Panhead John]

Pretty sure Kev’s got a warrant outta Texas too….

[BKYDBBQ]

Planning to go first thing in the morning to get my 5 bags and dad is willing to go and get me another 5 in the morning. I can get three bags at Ace this weekend for what 2 bags would cost at the closest Academy (90 mins away).

[jtw]

I’m seeing $9.97 for this at Walmart… is the original Ace price just really high?

[Steve R.]

Yes. The first time I bought it at Academy for ~$10 I thought I was getting away with something.
