So I went to Petsmart today to take advantage of the 15% friends and family coupon. The main thing I wanted was another carrier. I have carriers for my cats, but some are very old (like 40-50 years old) and they are basically made of plasticized cardboard. We need upgrades. And because of all the natural disasters that occur everywhere all the time, I want one good carrier per cat.
The ones I really like are Petmate 2-door deluxe, size medium. They are sturdy, with end and top doors. The latches for the doors are secure and easy to open one-handed. And the whole thing comes apart into two pieces, should any cat be so completely freaked that no one can get them out without leather gauntlets (hasn't happened to me yet, but then Ariel is young).
So, I found the carrier I wanted already on sale at Petsmart for $9.00 off. Regular price is $44.99 and sale price (with Petsperks card) is $35.99. Then I got 15% off of that - $5.40. Making the price $30.59. But then I had to pay sales tax - 9.5%. So the end, total price was $33.50.
So, I just checked on Amazon, and the exact same carrier, at the best price (many widely different listings for same carrier) is $28.53 total - free shipping.
Sigh. Thankfully, I still want (need!?!) more of these carriers, so I'm getting one at Amazon.
