I purchased 160 gallon salt bucket of Instant Ocean for $82 out the door at petsmart

I price matched it at Chewy and it was $42 back to my card making it $39 for a bucket when price matched

FYI reefers , use price match to save 50% at these big chains

I bought 2 from Chewy(since Petco raised their price) last month for 39.99 each. Both were delivered the next day. Two days later another 1 was delivered. With tax that's 28.33 each.

Check Petsmart right now. They are having a real nice sale on salt.

buckets of RC are only $23.99 right now. You can buy (3) buckets for under $72.
Regular IO buckets are only $22.79, you can get (3) buckets for $68.38 plus tax.

Fritz salt is super cheap there now too. The small 14 lb bags are on sale for $8.54 each, after all the discounts.
You can buy (10) bags = 140 lbs for $85.42 plus tax. (3 buckets worth)

I've already stocked up on salt again during this sale!

Must be local sale/prices. I just checked and the price I see locally is $40 a bucket and I would have to make a 60 mile round trip drive.

Same here, its the usual 39.99 a bucket. Thats what I always pay anyway. IORC and IO are always usually 39.99 a bucket whether it be petsmart, petco, chewy or amazon.

I purchased three buckets of IO for $73.50. There is a 20% discount for online orders and a Marine products discount also and free delivery. I think it had to be over $50 so try two buckets.

Are you guys not seeing the extra discounts?
Save an extra 20% online.....
Spend $50 on all Marine Products, Get 25% off your entire Marine Purchase....

Are you guys adding more than one bucket to get the extra discounts??

Add a couple buckets to the cart and specify autoshipping..... and see what price you get after all the discounts come off.

Tried that and it would only let me add 1 bucket. When I tried to add more in the cart, I got a message that I had the max amount available. It did discount it to $32, but had no delivery. Not worth driving that far for it.
Thanks for the tip. It was worth trying.

Yep youre right. Just IORC is all out of stock everywhere near me and they wont ship it. I may just got with regular IO for that price. Three buckets is going to cost 72.48, Its a little better deal than buy 2 get one free.

It must be a local deal. Here in NJ it's $37.99 for reg IO and if you buy two it's $30 each
Add them to your cart and go to checkout... .it will take an extra 25% off, making them even cheaper.
I just checked a NJ (Neptune/Ocean) store and it is the same deal there.

Petsmart.com will literally let me order 20 buckets of IO for free shipping... Not sure why you guys can't order more than one bucket.

These don't ship from the store anyway, they will ship from the Petsmart warehouse.

I bought 5 buckets of Fritz during this sale. My local store doesn't even stock any Fritz and yet I could order 5 buckets worth with free shipping.

Are you guys specifying the autoship program for the extra 5% savings? if you pick the autoshipping option, then it shouldn't matter what your local store has in stock.

AS long as we are on the subject of RC and petsmart and petco, I was at my local petco a couple days ago to find a pump to replace a 15 year maxijet and saw their in store price of a bucket of RC and it was $95. I asked the fish guy working there if that was correct and he said it was and thought my reaction to that price was too much. Maybe it was my eyes? IDK.

I couldnt belive it either. Its 89.99 a darn bucket here regular price. Its sickening, I would hate for someone trying to get into the hobby and then get turned away because they think salt is gonna be close to 100 dollars a bucket.

This is what I get when I try to add more than 1 bucket.
