Out there, somewhere, it looms: that one stupidly expensive week.

No, we refer to no specific expanse on the calendar. No holiday weekend or what have you. And that’s part of the problem. You never know when it will strike. Or maybe you have an inkling. Like, maybe your kid has a sports summer camp coming up, and you know you’ll be dropping some serious bones to get all the gear they need.

But no sooner do you return home from Scheels with three big shopping bags than your dog gives you a sallow look and vomits on the floor. And on the way to the vet, your check engine light comes on. And on the way home from the mechanic, you get a call from a friend, inviting you out to dinner. And it’s nice, after the day you had, to hang out with a friend and vent a little bit. But then the bill comes and it turns out that, despite dining at what amounts to little more than a local TGI-Fridays, your split appetizer, burger, and a beer or two will run you somewhere in the sixty-dollar range.

Then you get home and try to decompress from that expenditure with a little TV, except… why does the picture look so weird? And why isn’t there any sound?

Earbuds go through the laundry, a mild plumbing issue arises, a birthday present for your friend’s kid needs purchasing.

All of a sudden, you’re out a lot of cash.

What does any of this have to do with some bags? Well, it’s simple. Bags are another one of those products with shocking price tags.

Take a look at these ones we have today.

The backpack on Evolve’s website retails for an insane $89.95. Over at Walmart, it was available on sale for the still ludicrous $47.99. Meanwhile, the duffle will run you about $60 over on B&H. Meaning, this bundle would cost roughly $150 at full price. Or else, with that great Walmart discount, $108.

We are selling both of them together for $25.

And so, when that stupidly expensive week hits, and you’re paying for your vet visit, or your trip to the mechanic, or your pricy dinner, or your new TV, or earbuds, or whatever, at least you can think about how you didn’t pay too much for them for your backpack and duffel.
