They just opened a RK in Morganton, NC. 12% rebate on everything this week. That's going to put a dent in my wallet.

I like RK. I order some chems from because its cheeper that CPS even with the shipping. Drexel-me-too-lanchlor is half of what Dual II cost at the local CPS. I wish they would put one in closer to me.

Thanks for the heads up. I planned to make the trip in May in order to stock up on glyphosate for my spraying season. Looks like I will be headed that way this week. The Rural King price for 2.5 gallons of 41% glyphosate with surfactant is $32.55 after the rebate. I was in my local Southern States last week and saw their price was $45.

Free popcorn and coffee....
Ours has had free hot dog days, peanut days, and free ham and bean soup day! The bean ham and bean soup was free, but they were asking for donations for a worthy charity, so what the hey. $5.00 bean soup day. Still good at twice the price. :laughing:

You know, David, I was just telling my Wife last weekend that I've never actually eaten the popcorn at our Rural King. No idea why, just never have. Maybe I should go in there just for the popcorn. It's bound to cost me less each trip, right? :licking:
As for the comparison with Cabela's, I don't think it's the same thing. Cabela's is a sporting goods store catering to a little different crowd. Rural King is a farm supply store, catering to people who actually use tractors. Sure, there is some crossover there, but I have yet to see a Cabela's store located in a rural community.

My neighbor and I made our first trip to a Rural King (in Morganton, NC) this morning. I don't know whether I should pat myself on the back for being a conscientious shopper or be ashamed that I am a spendthrift.
I purchased the following 18 items:
1 splitting wedge
4 pig ears
1 bag (40 lbs.) of birdseed
11 containers (2.5 gallons) of 41% glyphosate
1 container (2.5 gallons) of Crossroad (generic Crossbow)
My bill was $530.42 before tax and before the 12% rebate that is good for this week.
My neighbor, with amazing self-control, got out of the door for less than $50, all spent on .22 ammo.

Cabela's are almost always located along an interstate near a population center. Rural King is rural. I'd guess to say that probably 80-90% of the people I see in our Rural King don't own tractors (lawn tractors excluded). Technically, I don't own a tractor.
RK has lots of clothes and housewares here. There's tools, landscaping and animal supplies as well. Our store is HUGE! It's an old Super K-Mart building. Compared to the TSC store's here, in all seriousness, I'd bet you could fit 3 TSC stores in this one Rural King.

I'm hoping you have a dog.... :laughing:
I can't leave Rural King without a bag of orange slices. :licking:

I understand that the RK site in Morganton was a Wal-Mart building. I am guessing that it is at least five times larger than the individual TSC stores I have visited (Anderson and Seneca, SC; Statesville and Taylorsville, NC).
