BigAl's vs. Petsmart

[asm129]

I was looking for an air pump and when I compared prices between BigAl's and Petsmart, BigAl's was less than half the price that Petsmart charges for the same pump (a Whisper 20).

Here's the comparison:
BigAl's -- $7.49

Petsmart -- $16.99
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753029

have you seen other products where BigAl's is a lot cheaper than the competition? Please pass the info along if you have.

After shipping costs that pump is still only $13.48 from Al's

Good deals there for sure.

I bought this air pump from the Petsmart near me for 19.99
It wasn't a clearance item just a mismarked sku from their corp.

Petsmart clearance items are just as good, picked an XP4 for 75.00 , XP1 for 29.00, aquaclear 110 for 30.00.. all new with warranties... deals are everywhere

I was going to order 2 filters from drsfostersmith but they were cheaper at BigAls. I paid about 7 bucks less with shipping included.

I always try to look at 3 or 4 different sources before buying . . . sometime Big Al's is cheapest, sometimes someone else . . .

You got an xp4 for $75? That is an amazing deal.

All the petsmarts by me where undergoing a major remodel in the fish department...All stock was drastically reduced to make room for new shelving.. One of the employess also stated some product lines where being dropped.
