Default anyone buy boxing week salt at Big Als?

I'm looking for information on this sneaky rebate stunt they pulled.

At the register I'm told each bucket is going to be $45 not $35 and that there is a $10 mail-in-rebate. Ok sure. Maybe that was in fine print on their signs I didn't bother to check.

Now I'm having a hard time finding out how to even get the rebate and I've heard rumours that it's limited to one $10 rebate per address!

If this is true what a scam that would be.

Anyone have more information?

$45 a bucket is still awesome but I can't help but feel cheated still.

Well that's pretty lame. Guess I'll know for next year (when I still go stock up on salt because it's still a good deal lol).

thats pretty sad , I went to pisces and they had it on for $35 but in small print you had to buy $50 worth of other stuff to get the deal. So I left just on principal . Not to mention there was nothing else I would need there

We're spoiled in Metro Vancouver cause one shop has IO buckets for $30 each year round. No rebates, coupons, etc.

On the other hand, I know some friends in small towns that are charged $70-80/bucket of IO.

Same story in years past. The rebate ends up being such a hassle in the end I don't bother with it.

As for Pisces, this must be the first year they made you buy other stuff as I've stocked up there in the past without that happening.

that is what happend to me, i left because it was absured. I can understand having to spend 50$ but the salt should count into the 50$

yuppers and excluded livestock too. I was gonna buy 4 of the $15 hermit crabs so I could buy a couple buckets of salt lol . The hermits were electric orange hermits witch I never see anywhere so I was willing to spend $60 on 4 hermit crabs to get the salt deal but that did not even work. What ever happened to just having a sale? Golds never has stipulations for there sale prices . But golds has been out of reef crystals for like a month now. I have bought every bucket of salt I have used in the last 10 years at golds and i finally had to buy it somewhere else . Went to ocean creations and he gave me the salt for $35 a bucket but it was on back order. But at least it was a real deal no strings attached so I paid in advance that guy that owns oceans is a stand up guy
Sorry for mini rant
