When I first saw the Ace flyer yesterday I looked at Walmart and the price was way more than the Ace pre-sale price. I just looked at Walmart and it is $9.97.
Also, none of the Academy stores near me had any in stock or for delivery and today they have them at the usual $11.99.
Seems like the price of this charcoal fluctuates alot.

I got that deal yesterday. My birthday is on July 7 and I just checked my app and I don’t see a coupon for my birthday
I was just there yesterday and stumbled upon this
I may go back for some more, especially if I find a coupon. The only thing I found was $20 off $100, 5 off of 30. I spent that yesterday on the below, but I guess I didn’t clip it. Why it doesn’t automatically apply I have no idea
I got there in time to get 5 if the last 8 bags they had on the shelves. The young lady i talked to said they might have had more in the back; I'll probably check back tomorrow morning. Might as well stock up; it will last until next year more than likely.
I realized this morning there is another Ace in Hodgenville, about 20 minutes south of me. There I hit the motherlode and took home 5 more, for a total of 8 for <$60 net of tax and a $10 reward I had forgotten about. I'm good for at least the rest of this year. 😃

It's for in-store purchases only, I believe. If you're a rewards member you just give them your phone number at checkout. If all else fails, playing dumb will get you a long way sometimes if you talk really nicely to the right person. 😉
I think I just bought 4 more bags. Another Ace on line, said they had 4 in stock. So I bought them on-line and waited for an email to tell me the order was ready. It did not come. They've updated my order to " ship to store " and I pick up next Thursday. But still at the $8 per bag price.

Once I saw thew add last week I checked the stock online at my local Ace and it showed over 30 items in stock. Friday morning before the store even opened I went online and ordered 5 bags to be picked up in store. At 7am, when the store opened, I got an email that said my order was ready for pick-up.
I showed up around 9:30 and was told the order wasn't ready. The delivery truck was late showing up and they hadn't finished processing the delivery and to come back around 2pm.
I ran a few errands while I was in town and went back by the store around 11am and it still wasn't ready. So I bought two of the four bags they had on display.
I went back at two and got the 5 bags I ordered and they had plenty on display at that point.
So if they did had almost none in-stock why did the website say there were over 30 in-stock and why did I get an email that my order was ready for pickup 7 hours before it was ready.
Went back this morning and got 5 more bags - Total for the weekend 12 bags, plus I have 4 bags of the B&B orange bag. That should hold me for a while.
Yeah, one of the locations we went to yesterday said they had 9. Clerk found zero in the back and we even scoured the upper shelf back stock. Nothing. But I’m happy that I will get mine on Thursday.
