Dick's Sporting Goods is misleading us or maybe it is just false advertisement. One of their Black Friday ads said "50% entire stock of ammunition." The tree ornament graphic in the ad states, "buy one get one." Seemed clear to me and dozens of others in the check out line that the ammo was buy one box get one free. However, the items rung up as buy one box at regular price, get the second box half off. I showed the ad to the cashier and she agreed the system and ad did not agree. So, she took the issue to her manager. The guy at the register next to me was going through the exact same issue. Turns out the manager said he understood how we interpreted the ad the way we did, but that is not what was intended. We were kind, but firm in suggesting they fix the mistake by honoring what they advertised. Manager said they were not misleading or falsely advertising. Of course, we disagreed. We reminded the manager they were the new guy in town and Oklahomans spend a lot of money on our shooting sports. I then told him two things: 1) With his interpretation of Dick's "so called" door buster price, the ammo is more expensive than the competition and 2) he has this one chance to gain or lose me as a customer of Dick's. He chose not to do the right thing and I will never shop at Dick's again. Interesting enough, I checked Dicks online ads when I got home tonight and the ammo ad has been changed from the print ad. Inside the Christmas ornament, the wording has changed from "buy one get one" to "buy one get one 50% off."
The ad I got in the paper as well as all over the Ammo department stated Buy 1 get one 50% off... I found it very clear, but that didn't stop a lot of guys from still over paying for their ammo. Dicks is very expensive on the ammo.
I did however take them up on some of their gun deals... My boys will be getting 10/22's for Christmas and I got a new Troy rifle.

That's how I read it.
I had heard they were out of Troy's from pre sales in OKC. If you used the 10% off for their store card it got stupid cheap. I almost wanted to go see about picking one up just because it was a damn good deal IMO
The Troy rifle was tempting. If I wasn't already building a .300 Blk Pistol/SBR, I might have jumped on that deal.
I clearly understood it to mean buy one at regular price get another for 50%.
Good deal.
My experience with dicks is that I've never found any bargains but haven't checked BF sales either.
Do you mind sharing what the price was on your purchase?
Dicks was running a good deal on Rem 700 varmints my buddy was talking about going to get one for $359.
I have never liked Dicks. Like I said before, we had them in STL. They are like an over-priced Academy with less gun stuff.
That said, I have to give it to them on the ad. I knew how the ad read as soon as I seen it.
That is why the ad says that the 2nd item has to be the same, or less value.

After seeing the ad posted here, I can see how someone might be misled by the layout of the type. "Buy One Get One" in a bright red Christmas tree ornament, and outside of that in the white field, "50% off entire stock of ammunition." A wishful eye might make the mistake of thinking it was "Buy One Get One (Free)" sale with a related "50% off entire stock" sale. The people doing the ad layouts could have made it more clear - or was it really accidental? Reddog and Been might have something to say about conspiracies and the plan
