Instant Ocean is currently on sale for $29.99 at Petsmart. Only location I could find in Stock is the Coquitlam branch. Reef Crystals is also on sale. You can order and pay online then pick up in store. Act fast as I'm sure stock won't last long! Just bought a couple buckets myself.

You can go into any location that would carry the salt and ask if they have any (not sure if the tiny tiny locations like poco have a SW shelf?). If they don't have any simply ask for a rain cheque.

Not sure they are offering rain checks, but if someone can confirm, I'm going back to get one :)
They didn't offer when I asked them for more buckets.

I just texted a friend who works for petsmart to ask for you guys. Hopefully she will get back to me sometime soon.

Sadly I spent a few years working at a few petsmart between finishing my post secondary and moving to the island. If they don't give you a rain cheque when you ask then you take it to head office ;) They are required to make their customers happy. You can ask them to check the stock levels at other stores and if there are none they should at least give you a rain cheque for one if you ask, if you look like you're stockpiling then that's another story so likely the rain cheque will be for just 1 or 2. The flyer for this particular sale does not say no rain cheques. Just be nice and polite ;) lol

Deal is on in Calgary too, must be nation wide. By the sounds of the locations I called here, no one is busting down the doors! More for me.

seems to be North America wide, sale is on in the states too, and if you reserve online you get an added 10% off and if you order more than $100 you get a bonus $5 off. Not sure if works out cheaper with the Canadian dollar at what it is or the gas to drive out to burlington-but its an option I guess

Didn't Rogers get out of saltwater? Maybe they still sell equipment and stuff.

Thanks for posting this. I never would have thought petsmart sell salt. I just reserved the one and only bucket at my local petsmart in Mississauga, ON so this is Canada wide. Unfortunately they only had one in stock and only one other store has them which might not last if I decide to go there too. Generally I prefer the boxes since I don't have to measure the salt but this deal was too good to pass up!

Just a side note, called King Ed's a couple of weeks back and was told the IO was now $34.99 because of the US dollar, when I got there they charged me $39.99 and said they don't give out prices over the phone and basically said I was just trying to get a lower price, which is BS.
I paid the $39.99 but won't shop there again ever.

Sale is over now. 50g box is now 30 bucks, no deal there...

I'm sure their marketing folks will be reviewing this one,... haha. Might see another one in a few months, but don't think it will be $30 for 160g bucket again.

With everybody stocked up, King Ed sales are really going to take a hit now, too, and lose their buying discounts/rebates...

But I am good now at least until boxing day, and am sure someone will try to make a market again then...

They were on sale here in Saskatoon. I got 2 buckets of RC for $35 each, they also had 3 pails of regular IO when I went in on Monday. One of my buckets also had the $10 rebate coupon, the other apparently has a t-shirt in it.

United Pet Group Aquatics sent me an email 12 days ago saying my rebate had been processed and I should receive it soon.

I just checked the tracking site and apparently the check was issued today.

Went to Seattle this weekend to watch the Whitecaps destroy the Sounders 4 - nil.

Today, on the way home, the wife wanted to stop in at Ross in Burlington. Just happens that right next door was a Petsmart.

Needless to say, I don't have any problem paying $45 for a bucket of IO at my LFS. Please note that the price is in USD.
