Larada's Army Surplus In Mesa (Big Yellow Building)
« on: January 23, 2007, 11:36:26 AM »
For those who don't know Larada's Army Surpluss (the big yellow building) on the North East Corner of Main St and Extension in Mesa is where I have been shopping for 10+ years. They have every thing you want and need, and there prices are really reasonable and they have a awsome selection and great prices, did I mention great prices? Ya think I did, so go check it out. I Guaratee It will be worth the trip. They have it all as far as gear goes any way.

I havnt been there recently, however, take a trip down the street to Freedom Surplus. I dont know exactly where on Main (Apache) it is, but its inbetween Gilbert and Val Vista.

They have a lot more modern stuff.

One block east of Gilbert on Main on the south side of the street.  Southwest corner of Chestnut and Main.

He's 13, he can't help it. (sorry had to say it)

For those of you who haven't been to Freedom before, I would just like to point out it is pretty easy to miss the first time, so you have to keep an eye out for it.  It's not bright yellow like Larada's, it looks more like a Mini Mart than an Army surplus.

Smaller than Larada's but they have a decent amount of stuff stuffed in there.  They don't have as much suppies (tents, shovels, that sort of thing) as Larada's.

laradas isnt a good place to get guns but getting BDUs and supplies is another story, their prices are great on clothing and surplus, its worth checking out!!!

I\'ve touched that gun with my hand which had touched my penis. I hope you did not touch your mouth after touching that gun. That would mean your had put part of my penis in your mouth.

I got 10% at laradas... Nice to basically not have to pay tax when you factor what you are saving, that and they have good customer service.

Find out if that 'DISCOUNT BOARD' applies to you, the one thats in front of the door..

Man...is that place still there? I remember going in there, hummm, 25+ years ago.
As far as I remember, I believe they used to sell guns and ammo.
Wow, thanks for the walk down memory lane.
