GREAT Deal

I was browsing Petsmarts website one day before I went to the store trying to decide what powerfilter to buy next. When I got to the store, I noticed the Fluval 404 was 169.99 !!! The website listed it for about 85 dollars. I asked the manager about it, and he said the would gladly match their own price if I brought in the sheet. I saved around 80 dollars or so just for printing a page out from the net. Not to shabby... To bad their tanks above 50 [acronym:f51736c906="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:f51736c906] are not in the site

So now when I go to petsmart, I add all the items I might buy onto the shopping cart and just print it out. The price isnt always better, but it can save you a lot of cash.

wow

This really surprises me.

I asked petsmart employees once about the differences in prices between the Internet and the store, and I was told that the Internet is always less expensive because of less overhead; plus, you pay for shipping. Essentially, they told me too bad.

Congratulations....and I guess it's worth bringing it up!

Don't count on that working all the time. They (and PetCo) explicitely state on the website that these prices are for ONLINE orders only, and that price and item availabilty will vary from store to store.

Looks like you just ran into a nice, or stupid, manager.
