That Pet Place - Weekend Sale

[darkcirca]

I'm hoping this is more of a neutral area to post this..

That Pet Place is having their annual anniversary sale this weekend. I've gone the past few years and have always had a blast. Different people come out to speak (Forgotten Friends Reptile is going to be on at 10AM Saturday), and they have excellent deals.

A fish forum I belong to has proposed a meetup, and I thought I'd throw the option out there on here. I know, last minute, but if you don't have weekend plans its something to do!

That Pet Place is located in Lancaster, PA, approx 2.5 hours (less) from DC. I don't mind the trip, as in the end it has always been worthwhile for me - but I own saltwater fish, and the cost of things in Northern, VA vs. Lancaster, PA is always worth it, even without the sale ($35 for a bucket of salt vs $60 for the same here).

If anyone is planning to attend, go ahead and post here. I'll be there Saturday, planning to leave the DC area around 9AM, as I have plans to attend Chris Brightwells talk on phosphates.

We went today. I have to say, I am disappointed with their fish section now. The saltwater area was pretty nice last year, but it looks like hell now. We always buy snails and other things for the saltwater tank - 20% off inverts/fish really comes in handy ($1.59 a snail, vs the $4 snail in Northern VA.).

On a side note, I scored 500 crickets for just under $9. Not bad for a store. Definitely didn't need that many, but they did not have any small baggies out. I gave the monitor probably 50 crickets in attempts to get rid of them..
