Petsmart will pricematch Big Al's!!!

I have been told by my Petsmart that they, now, only pricematch their online pricing. There are store employees that still do pricematch anything I bring in but the managers will not price match anything that is not Petsmart (in fact there is only one employee left at my Petsmart that will pricematch catalogs I bring in). If you pricematch other stores at your local petsmart I would do it carfully. If you try and do it with the wrong person they may refresh store employees of Petsmart policies!
I dont see what the big deal is any how. If you look there are many times that petsmart's online price is cheaper than bigalsonline now anyway so you save more by bringing in the petsmart page anyhow. Some stuff is more but I would say its a 50/50 split on whos cheaper. All the ones near me will only price match there online site. They all know this too because the only one that can do a price match is a manager of front end supervisor with a key. The cashier does not have acsess to do it.

My local PetSmart will only pricematch petsmart.com and statelinepetsupplies.com. It sucks cuz the Emperor filter that I want is $5 cheaper at big als.

Pricematch
I go to the petsmart in Independence, Missouri and the manager pricematch the petsmart online prices no problem...but I wont just go in and test to see if they will price match other competitors...I think I am just gonna call in and talk to the manager....anyone else in kansas city area tried pricematching other competitors?

calling is a bad idea. when deal hunting the number one rule is dont call. just go in and try it. if they shoot you down o well have the petsmart print out also. try a couple more times and see what happens.
Yes, I understand capitalism but when other (physical) stores have much lower prices I think it's kind of unethical of Petsmart to advertise they have great prices when really their prices are only good compared to a mall pet shop.

i have yet to find a pet store that has prices anywhere near online prices. if anything, sometimes they are more expensive than the big corporations, sometimes lower (but not by much).
Here in Vancouver we have JL Aquatics, a small Canadian outlet that's growing. They specialize in marine but also have plenty of things that could also be used for freshwater. Their prices are the exact same in-store than they are online. Up the street from Big Al's, their prices beat them every time by about 25%.
