I always print off petsmart online prices before i go buy something there. I picked up two Marineland H.O.T Magnum 250s today. Online price 47.99 and in store price 89.99! Of course they pirce matched the website.
Crazy Petsmart prices!

i know the visitherm stealth heaters are almost half off on line. that is the only way to buy heaters.
I went to a brand new LFS that just opened and almost had a heart attack when I saw that Rena XP2 (yes, XP2) for $220 and a Hydor power jet for $55 thats $15 elsewhere. I want to support the independent shops but at those prices, there is no way. Their fish prices on the other hand are pretty reasonable depending on what you are looking for..
5% of select 20 gallon tanks,stands,starter kits,filters,heaters
10% 29 gallon tanks,stands,starter kits,filters,heaters
15% 50 gallon and 55 gallon tanks,stands,starter kits,filters,heaters
But I got a 29 gallon with hood that was 74.99 to 63.99. Plus my associates discount of another 15%, and the total was $60 something due to taxes. Just got to wait for my eco-complete substrate to come in the mail
.
LFS, usually sell higher priced items due to being supported by separate businesses and having items not locally available in Petsmarts or Petcos. Than they just jack up the price, wonder why they don't sell low or understandable ranges and build up from there.

they refuse to honor the online prices by me. they tell me that the higher price is for convenience of no shipping. load of crap, i know.
My local PetSmart honors the prices. I know some say that shipping is the difference, but on bigger items like cannister filters, you're over $50 for free shipping anyway.
