Depends on the size of your canopy. Measure width and height. I would go a little longer than the height that way you can angle it out and stake it down. It'll add a little more space to yor canopy.

Although its not really a discount at all, I have been considering purchasing these industrial grade type tent stakes off ebay. Solid metal spike with welded ring and hook on the end. I hate cheap tent stakes, and these wil solve the problem, I hope. $3.25 each, I plan on getting a dozen or so. They have different lengths also. cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=190307137366
I just bought a tent footprint for our Kelty Teton 4 for $32 and a Nalgen 32 oz. Narrow mouth bottle for $8.50 before shipping. The footprint was $45 on rei.com *and* was backordered. If you spend $50 or more at CampSaver.com, you get free ground shipping too.
If you have a Sam's Club membership, you can get one of these handy folding hand trucks for $23, would help to move stuff to tent-only if that is your plan. Holds up to 150 pounds, folds up pretty small, and isn't very heavy:
I also picked up a 24 pack of bottled water at Sams for only like $4. Probably going back for one or two more cases soon. Also got 24 D batteries for about $24. Maybe not a great deal, but not too bad.
I got a 10 pack of Rayovac D batteries for $6.98 at Target. Also, if you need multiple packs, each pack has a $1 off Rayovac batteries coupon, so you could get the rest of the packs for $5.98

This is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks! $33 on amazon.
My Roo buddies are having a hard time finding battery-operated fans, like the O2 Cool, in stores. None to be found at the Big Lots or the Wal-Marts that we've checked. Anyone else have ideas on where else to look (without ordering one online)?

If anyone subscribes to the free Kraft Food & Family magazine (or know someone who does), there is a One-Day Pass to Sam's Club in it that's good until May 31! That's where the boyfriend & I are doing our Roo grocery shopping. Thank goodness a Whole Foods market will be @ Roo too. This way we won't have to bring as much with us and can grab something there if we forgot it.
I just purchased an o2 fan from Walmart yeasterday. It was in the camping supply aisle. The fan was 12.99 batteries to make it work 14.99.
Yeah you got ripped on the batteries. See my Target deal above. Also, at Walmart's they have a 4 pack of D batteries for $3.00 that includes 2 flashlights.

I know how that goes. I went to Lowe's yesterday to buy a bucket and some earplugs, ended up spending $60 on a variety of things that I wasn't planning on getting..

Just a heads up to those of you with the o2 Cool fans, read a lot of reviews about them overheating and in some cases catching fire. Keep your eyes peeled guys. Don't need any fiery tents.

Really. Moreso, just complaints about them dying after short increments of use, or getting a bad unit that's loud or somesuch. But there were enough "fan got overheated" reviews that I found it worthwhile to give a shout.
Well thanks for the heads up. I've been using mine lately, just used it all night in fact, and it doesn't feel the least bit hot. I haven't tried it on battery power yet, however. I also haven't tried it in a tent in Tennessee in 100 degree temps. But I will. ;D
Got a similar (different packaging, appears to be the same stuff) 24 pack of bungee cords and bungee 'things' at Lowes a couple days ago for only $10. $17 on Amazon.
batteries to make it work 14.99.
