Set a deal alert in the KCL app for the latest YETI sales.

To stay updated on the latest YETI sales, download the Krazy Coupon Lady app and tap the "hamburger" icon in the upper right corner, then go to "Notifications." From there, tap the gear icon on the upper right corner of the screen and enable notifications for YETI.

I will notify you as soon as I spot any YETI coolers on sale, which is especially important as Black Friday and holiday shopping season approaches. For example, in 2020, Dick's Sporting Goods offered a 20% discount on YETI coolers for five days in the second week of December.

Save up to 20% on a YETI cooler with Academy Sports "gift card with a YETI purchase" deals.

Even if you don't have an Academy Sports store in your area, you can still shop online. Academy Sports has previously offered a gift card deal that allows you to save up to 20% on YETI coolers. For instance, you can get a $25 gift card when you purchase a YETI cooler worth $100 - $249.99, or a $50 gift card when you spend $250 or more.

To get the best value, aim for the lowest spend possible, which is $100. One suggestion is to buy three $34.99 tumblers, which will earn you a $25 gift card and a savings of 23%.

If you create an Academy account and spend at least $25, you'll also get free shipping. Otherwise, the shipping threshold is $35.

Buy the $1,000 YETI Tundra 250 cooler for the most bang for your buck.

You might think that purchasing the largest YETI cooler would give you the best value, but that's not necessarily true. The number after each model name does not indicate the cooler's size in quarts, despite popular belief. Instead, YETI's website shows how many cans of beer can fit into each cooler, which I used in my calculation.

As you can see in the list below, the price per can decreases as the cooler size increases. However, once you reach the Tundra 350 hard cooler, the price per can starts to go up again. Therefore, the YETI Tundra 250 offers the best value.

• YETI Roadie 24 ($250/18 cans): $13.90 per can
• YETI Tundra 35 ($275/21 cans): $13.09 per can
• YETI Tundra 45 ($325/28 cans): $11.61 per can
• YETI Tundra 65 ($375/42 cans): .93 per can
• YETI Tundra 75 ($450/57 cans): .78 per can
• YETI Tundra 105 ($500/67 cans): .46 per can
• YETI Tundra 110 ($550/74 cans): .43 per can
• YETI Tundra 125 (0/92 cans): .52 per can
• YETI Tundra 160 (0/115 cans): .52 per can
• YETI Tundra 210 (0/162 cans): $5.56 per can
• YETI Tundra 250 ($1,000/181 cans): $5.52 per can
• YETI Tundra 350 ($1,500/259 cans): $5.69 per can

Amazon and eBay are YETI authorized dealers...kinda.

When shopping on Amazon, make sure to shop from the official YETI store to ensure authenticity. If you see a YETI cooler sold by "YETI Authorized," you can trust that it's a genuine YETI product. However, be cautious of third-party Amazon sellers who do not have this name, as their products may not be authentic.

For eBay, it's important to shop from YETI's authorized storefront to ensure you're getting an authentic product. Anything sold on these platforms that doesn't meet these criteria may not be a genuine YETI.

Buy from a YETI authorized dealer to avoid the fakes.

To avoid purchasing counterfeit YETI products, it's crucial to buy from an authorized YETI dealer. There are many authorized local shops, including popular chains such as REI, Dick's Sporting Goods, D&B Supply, Academy Sports, and Sportsman's Warehouse.

Shop end of season YETI clearance at Lowe's & Cabela's.

Finding YETI clearance deals can be challenging since authorized dealers usually maintain their prices. However, you may find discontinued items and colors on clearance shelves at the end of the season. For coolers, this typically happens in the fall, while for tumblers, it's in the spring.

Clearance YETI items are usually easier to find in-store rather than online. The biggest clearance savings I've seen were up to 26% off on a Hopper Flip 12 Insulated Personal Cooler, which was on sale for $189.99 (regular price $249.99).

Shop YETI coolers at REI in May to save up to 25% during the Anniversary Sale.

If you want a YETI cooler on sale from REI, the best time to shop is during REI's Anniversary Sale in May. YETI products are typically discounted by 25% across the board during this event.

REI carries a variety of YETI products, including Tundra, Rambler, Hopper, Panga, Roadie, Daytrip, Sidekick, Loadout, and Camino. If you want to increase your chances of finding a YETI cooler during the sale, try to arrive early at the REI Garage sale.

Shop YETI coolers for up to 30% savings on Amazon during Prime Day.

If you're interested in purchasing a Hopper model, keep an eye out for Amazon Prime Day. Before the pandemic, I found the YETI Hopper on sale for 30% off on Prime Day. Now that things have calmed down, we'll have to wait and see if the discount returns for Prime Day 2022, which is expected to be in June or July.

Get 20% off YETI coolers with the military and first responders discount through ID.me.

If you're a military member, first responder, nurse, or government employee, you're eligible for a 20% discount on YETI coolers. Simply verify your credentials through ID.me to receive the discount. This is better than the 10% military discount offered by Lowe's.

Alternatively, if you prefer to shop in-store, whether a store accepts the discount may depend on the manager's decision. It's best to call your local YETI store beforehand and inquire about the discount.

Get a YETI cooler with a price match at Dick's Sporting Goods.

If you find a great deal on a YETI cooler on Amazon but you're unsure if the seller is an authorized dealer, you can take advantage of Dick's Sporting Goods' price match policy. As an authorized YETI dealer, Dick's Sporting Goods will match Amazon's price. Check out our best tips for shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods to potentially save even more money on your YETI purchase.

Convince your grandma to use the D&B Supply senior discount and save 10% on YETI coolers or drinkware.

While it may not be applicable to everyone, anyone aged 60 years or older can take advantage of D&B Supply's 10% senior discount on YETI coolers or drinkware every Tuesday. If you have a grandparent or even a friendly neighbor who is at least 60 years old, you can give them money and send them to D&B Supply on a Tuesday to purchase a YETI cooler for you.

YETI offers customization of coolers, but you'll pay for it.

If you want to have your team or company logo printed on your YETI cooler, you can submit your information, including a picture of your logo, to YETI to receive a quote. However, customization can be expensive, so an alternative option is to purchase a YETI Rambler with your team's logo from Dick's Sporting Goods. Although you'll pay an extra $10 for the tumbler with your logo, it's a more affordable way to represent your team without breaking the bank.

Register your YETI cooler at YETI.com and get a free sticker.

When you register your new YETI cooler, drinkware, or other items on YETI's website, you'll receive a free sticker as a bonus. Who doesn't love a little freebie?

Watch for eBay YETI coupons and get an additional 10% off.

You can find coupons for YETI coolers on eBay, which can provide an additional 10% off on a $30 purchase. Use coupon codes like SALES365 to enjoy the discount. Be sure to bookmark the KCL YETI Deals page to stay updated on all the deals.

Aim for 20 - 30% savings on YETI.

Finding YETI coolers on sale can be as challenging as spotting an actual Yeti in the wild. YETI is selective about who can sell their products and strictly enforces minimum advertised pricing (MAP) to prevent large discounts. However, it's still possible to find certain YETI Rambler tumblers, bottles, and mugs for up to 30% off. When you come across anything between 20% and 30% off, it's a good opportunity to make a purchase.

A quick tip for Amazon Prime members is that they can enjoy free shipping at Woot.com.

In conclusion, if you're in the market for a YETI cooler and want to snag the best deal, there are plenty of options to consider. Set a deal alert on the KCL app, take advantage of "gift card with a YETI purchase" deals at Academy Sports, or shop the end of season clearance at Lowe's and Cabela's. Don't forget to shop during REI's Anniversary Sale in May or Amazon's Prime Day for potential savings of up to 25% and 30% respectively. And for those who qualify, the military and first responders discount through ID.me offers a generous 20% off. So, with a little research and patience, you can easily achieve those desired 20-30% savings on a high-quality YETI cooler. Happy shopping!
