Equipment Review and Discussion :: Another great reason to shop online!

Various accessories and equipment discussed here.

Post Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2007 12:25 pm   Another great reason to shop online!

It is time to upgrade Sheba's basking bulb, so I decided to go all the way & get the ZooMed Powersun UV (100W Mercury-vapor style). The Petsmart website had it listed at $49.99, but apparently if you buy it in the store, it is $59.99 (!).

I also bought the 25ft Python cleaning kit for $23.39 (in the store it is $25.99).

So already I saved around $12 just by going online. That savings paid for the tax & shipping & I didn't even have to leave my house. Internet shopping rocks!!!! :D :D :D

If you just placed the order, you can cancel it.

This is the only current offer I know of: 10% off your order - ($50 min purchase, enter coupon code "VISATENPER" at checkout) (must use VISA Card at checkout) (expires 02/28/07)

Not a huge deal...

you can just print out the page from the petsmart.com website and take it in. They'll price match it for you so you don't have to pay for shipping and wait for it to come.

That way you save money and get your stuff quicker

I think I paid 36 bucks for my 10.0 uvb bulb, I later found the same bulb at a local reptile store for 30 bucks.
