| Well today I found out that Petsmart no longer accepts price matches in store from online companies. I was told that this just started in the last month or so. So when I had a arm full of stuff today and a fist full of price match papers I felt like a complete bung hole. Embarrassed you say, uh, yeah. So I threw the stuff down and walked the hell out. I confirmed this via a phone call to Petsmart and told them I even affiliate with them here on FWM, they didn't care. Anyway I thought I would just throw a FYI out so "you" don't do the same and look like an ars. _________________ "There he goes - one of God's own prototypes - a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.

| I got that about a year ago, went in with a bio-aquatics price list and greadily hoarded up all the hikari frozen foods my fish would eat(heck at 2 bucks a 3.5oz cube or 4oz flat and 8 bucks for full pounds!!). Corporate said i was lucky because the new policy and procedures was not yet released to the stores yet.

| Yea, it was the only reason I ever went into a petsmart. I so missed being able to get super cheap foods. |

| frozen food shipping sucks period it really doesnt matter where it comes from however bio aquatics sells the food cheap and makes up for it in shipping. and minimum weight order. |
