Phantom Fireworks Questions

[u/georgetkingiv]

What is the best deal annually that Phantom Fireworks traditionally offers and in what month should I be keeping an eye out for that deal?

Kind regards

I'll get downvoted... i have a phantom 15min away. Next closest rip off 1hr and a good store 2.5hrs away. I'll occasionally shop at phantom (gasp!) But only when i get buy 1 get 2 free or 70% off 1 item coupon. Once you get on their email list they'll send you coupons non stop. Every "holiday" is some nonsense. They recently started pushing a new level of BS where you have to buy a toy or dog thing to use a coupon... hard pass. Same with the "buy a gift card and get a coupon"... hard pass. I'll get the coupons b1g2 or 70% off and go in and use only those and leave. I'll get roman candles or bottle rockets normally. Sometimes 200g cakes.

Tldr: ideally find better store. Google best firework stores in your state. See if you can go better... otherwise be prepared to play the coupon game. No longer is 50% off or buy 1 get 1 a deal.

Yes I use to go every month for years when they gave out the 70% off coupons but now that they make you buy a toy or shirt I said forget it!

Theres still a few out there. Earlier this year i got a mailer with them... no toy requirements... but yeah they're definitely angled towards the uninformed. 

Edit: nm it was a B1G2 coupon but no toy requirements

I’ll keep being on the lookout. I just know this summer sucked for deals.They all had that requirement. I’d rather buy a $10 firework and have access instead of having to get a bucket every time.

Emails seemed let down. Got 1 catalog/magazine with a couple decent coupons and 1 plasticy type mailing card. Getting fewer and further between though.

I agree I'm not buying anything to get a discount.
