TFP Anniversary Sale is this weekend (March 29th and 30th)

[Fizz71]

...I've been waiting for months for the "buy 3 get 1 free" salt deal so I'll be going down Saturday afternoon.

Only in store or online as well?

 

[Fizz71]

Probably not. The ad I got in an email mentions a small blurb that says "only at our retail store" underneath the big "Sale This Weekend" part of the ad.

You order salt online? That's the one thing I _don't_ order online...shipping that stuff blows. But then again I'm buying the 200 gallon boxes which is about 56lbs a box. So that's over 200lbs of salt I'll be buying.

With shipping, Amazon beats my LFS' pricing on salt.

 

[Fizz71]

I see with my Amazon Prime I'd have free shipping and the price is only $4 more than TFP right now so I'll have to keep that in mind next time I need one box and don't want to drive to TFP. But for 4 boxes I'd be saving $60 at TFP this weekend so it's worth the drive. I have to admit though..I never looked on Amazon for it before..I didn't expect it to be sold by somebody with free 2 day shipping (Prime).

 

[Breadman03]

I've been buying the buckets, but will probably be switching to boxes soon since I think I might finally have enough.

 

[jrod738776]

Yea fizz i do exactly what you just said, amazon prime for 200 gal box. I use prime to buy a lot of things, free shipping is awesome.

 

[Fizz71]

If I didn't have prime would it still be free but not 2 days? I'm on the free trial right now....I'm an Amazon Mom (kind of a sexist named program if you ask me).

 

[Knd107]

Yeah, Amazon Mom when dads are allowed to sign up too. Haha. I was thinking about going to upgrade to a DSA tank. Is this the only time that they have these deals on tanks? I got tonight to decide....

Mal at Reef and Tails in Wyomissing always has a better price than TFP.

Did anyone get anything good? They had 75gal tanks for only $69.

Not at buy 3 get one free. For me that's $40 less than any place else for 220lbs of salt.

I spent WAY too much there. I needed an automatic feeder for when we go on vacation this fall, bought bags of dog food with both sale price and mfg. coupons for about 1/2 what we normally pay. Sadly my daughter won goldfish which we traded up for bettas so I wound up buying a 1g betta tank. It's all a blur...I don't even remember what else I bought.
