Picked Up Three Birds On The Cheap!

Post by BigBear0007 » Fri Oct 28, 2011 6:32 pm

Petland was having 50 percent off on finches sale?
So I picked up a pair of green singers for $52.00
and varigated canary hen for $50.00.
Also they were giving away used cages for free, one per customer!
You never see these kind of prices in retail, private maybe!
Al in all it was a good day!

One was doing it last week, but didn't have a pair of green singers, only a hen for sale and some societies and zebras.
Today I was on the west side of the city and stopped in at the Petland there.
I asked aboud price matching the other store.
The kid wasn't too enthoustic, but I pressed him for an answer.
He called a manager and they agreed!
After we cought the green singers, I asked of they would do it on a canary hen?
And they did!

I always ask if they will price match or do better on the price especially if I am buying more that one item!
My wife hates it when I do it but I never pay full price!

One day I will tell you how much O saved on our new Nissan Versa!
