Oh boy free ice cream at camping world.......I got an email alert from CW that there would be ice cream from 1-3 pm. So we were running our errands and swung by the store. After walking around the store we were leaving and my wife saw a Yeti cooler and sitting next to it was some spoons, no sign no nothing. I opened the lid and there sitting on some ice cubes was some dixie cups of a no name brand ice cream.....What a hoot ...why bother .......this was not what I was expecting based on the graphic email alert I received.......

Thats sounds like CW in true fashion.

At least they actually HAD ice cream! I went to our local camping world yesterday to pick up a couple of items expecting to have some free ice cream. When I was checking out, I asked the cashier where they had the ice cream that was mentioned in the email. She exclaimed " oh, that was from 11:00 til 1:00. It's all melted now.This exchange took place at about 2:00pm. What a way to entice people to visit their store!

Ice will melt ice cream real fast....ice ice is only at 32 degrees and it takes a lot colder to keep ice cream.

don't ever rely on a store promotion of anything free :)
we ALL know that, if you do, 95% chance you are coming out super disappointed :) :)

I guess for some reason we are usually in the 5% minority.

We take our young son to our local Home Depot on the first Saturday of every month for their free "Kids Workshop."

This past Saturday was July 4th and they advertised that they would be giving away free grilled hot dogs and bottled water during the Kids Workshop. We were camping 120 miles from home, but we went to the local Home Depot, and, lo and behold, they were grilling free hot dogs and had free cold bottled water.

No strings attached and just as they advertised. We did the Kids Workshop project (a Minion scooter) with our son, ate a hot dog, grabbed some bottles of water, and left without buying anything.

Just as they promised and just as we expected.

Oh, and they were also painting flags and other patriotic symbols on the kids' faces, if requested. Our son got many compliments on his face paint at the Independence Day parade we went to after we left Home Depot. :C

I happen to know how I like my Haagen-Dazs, and where to buy it. The thing is, I can't afford all I want,......perhaps not a bad thing.
Fresh strawberries (prepped my way), and vanilla Haagen-Dazs, just one of many things I like.

I go to Camping World for other stuff.

It would be a lot cheaper for me to go to Freddie's frozen custard then Camping World for free ice cream.

Huh, if you headed someplace for ice cream, my choice would have been Dairy Queen. Go to camping stores for camping stuff sillies...

Our Camping World was serving up these...all you could eat and they were giving away a free Yetti cooler to everyone who came in...

But the cooler was the medium sized one and there were only 25 flavors of Ice Cream. Like always, Camping World being Cheap.

And, the cooler was empty. How cheap is that .

And the ice cream was softer than I prefer.

What is wrong with this company? :)
