I was in buying the kids school supplies and what did I find in the clearance isle but Estes A, B, and C motors for $4.00 dollars a pack. I know it's not like it's $1.00 a pack but hey it's better than $6 to $8 a pack. If you wait they may go lower or just go away. If you need low power motors or know a scout, school, or 4H group that will be doing rockets it's a good time to pickup a few packs for them. You can find them in the toy clearance isle. I'm sure Longmont not the only Walmart's doing this. Their get ready for Christmas stocking.

The old Loveland store has C's and A10s for 4.99 everyday but had B's at 3.00. Not sure if they have any left but great deal. Way better than 7.99 at Hobby town.
Hobby Lobby often has coupons worth 40% off a single purchase - good for motors or kits.
For the A,B,C stuff, I wait for a Michaels 40 or 50% coupon. The one in Superior (by Costco) has the flight packs (25 motors, I believe).

Hobby Lobby just had a 30% sale that ended 8/16. I took advantage of it to make sure I have motors for next June's Pawnee Open... 😉
Was at the Walmart on Tower & I-70 today. C's are $3.00, A & B's are $1.00. The selection wasn't the greatest. Picked up a couple. The salesperson said their not going to carry them anymore.

I checked a Walmart at Grant and Thornton Pkwy. a while back and couldn't find any. Now might be the time to check any and all Walmarts in your respective areas.
Hobbylobby.com has a 40% off coupon just about every other week, print all you want limited to 1 per visit.
went to longmotn walmart last night (the north one) and they didn't have anything i could find. needless to say the "service" people had no clue what i was talking about, so told me they didn't have anything. why i don't go to walmart ... !
Greg, the southwest side one had some still in the clearance area now at $3.00/pkg. They were close to the floor at the end of the isle. Last time I checked the motors at the north side store were back on the shelf but were still discounted.

thx ron i'll be on my way over there in a few minutes. always forget that place is still open. weren't they supposed to close when the north store opened?
btw, i am jonesin' for more lpr stuff - got anything to sell? (at a steep discount of course! 😀
The Walmart in Westminster (East of 104 and Sheridan, on Sheridan) has Estes motors on sale, 3 bucks a pack. Get 'em while you can... 😉
well either i have bad luck or i'm blind. couldn't find motors at the south walmart on thursday either. humbug. not going to try to make the trek down south. i've started getting motors online from hobbylink and their prices are pretty good - on par w/a hobby lobby 40% off coupon but you can get as much as you want!

Plus you save all that money you spent in gas, going to both Walmarts, trying to save all that money on Rocket Motors. 😉
