Puyallup Petsmart clearance on Hikari frozen foods

I wasn't sure where to post this but I figured I would share that the Petsmart at 10309 156th Street East in Puyallup is clearancing their Hikari cube packs of blood worms, brine shrimp, krill and I think one or two more varieties. Not sure if other stores are doing the same thing or not but I was in there meeting someone to trade some plants.

I bought some blood worms for $2.47 x2 and some brine shrimp packs for $2.47 as well and got the 4th pack free so I paid $7.41 for 4 packs of Hikari frozen cube packs. You can barely find one pack of frozen Hikari food for that price! If I would have had more cash I would have bought them out lol.

I figured I would share as I know in the south end its expensive to find frozen food!

I was in that same store last week and bought brine and mysis for that price!

There wasn't any Mysis left, I wanted some but couldn't find any.

I bought all three that they had left.   

Ah ha! That would explain it then lol.

Sorry I didn't leave you any. It's good to know that they still have some of the other foods left. I might have to stop back in if I get the chance. I wonder if it's only that Puyallup store.

I have not fed frozen in so long it did not even occur to me that it was a good deal when I bought the same stuff last week. I usually only feed pellets and some flake but I am trying to get size on some small growouts so I bought some of the frozen stuff and did not even put 2 and 2 together that is was really well priced.

Was this from a different Petsmart?

I don't know about the other areas but in Lakewood the Petco and Aquarium Paradise are both like $7 for a pack of frozen food. I don't really go to the Petsmart here just because Petco is easier to get in and out of for crickets for my frogs.

I went to the South Hill Puyallup store. I was thinking they had some huge overstock and had to move them. Or maybe they are looking to bring in another brand, if that were the case it seems all the stores would have them on clearance.

Oh ok, Did anyone else notice all the National Geographic branded dry goods? It all looks like Eheim rip offs in the fish section but I was over in the Guinea pig section as well (daughter wants one) and noticed things branded with it as well. I am guessing they are using it as a store brand or something. The canister filters look just like the Eheim Ecco line, the heaters look like the Eheim-Jager heaters. They also had some LED fixtures that look like the Aqueon ones and some nano aquarium kits. I thought it was interesting and wonder if the quality is there or if they are just cheap rip offs of the originals.

I usually buy the mediums and Petsmart never has them, but I bought some large ones at Petsmart yesterday and you're right they are way healthier looking. I noticed they actually had food and the quencher stuff in the bins, Petco doesn't even keep their crickets where the customer can see them lol. I buy one of the pre boxed ones about a month ago and they were great (must have just got to the store) ever since half of them were dead so I haven't bothered since.

I never had crickets long enough to know how long they last. I would buy two dozen and drop them into the fish tank for a little treat. The fish went into a frenzy and it was done with in a matter of seconds. Not a staple in their diet but an occasional change in diet.

I haven't fed crickets to a fish since I owned an African butterfly fish, and that was in the 90's lol. I did throw a waxworm in a couple of my tanks a couple weeks ago just to see how they would react, most of them just looked at me like I had insulted them lol. I didn't see anyone going after them with enthusiasm but they were gone by the next morning so they ate them eventually.

Took a while for the fish to take them. I think they were afraid of the 'moving pellets' at first. Now as soon as they hit the water they are devoured.

They still seem to be coming up with stock on these frozen foods. Bought three more packs of frozen Mysis shrimp.

I too noticed the change over to the Nat. Geo product line. Looks to be re-badged Eheim stuff. On that note some of the top fin stuff is on clearance. I got a Top Fin 150 watt heater for $14.07. This is really a good deal when you consider the warranty on their products. I will keep the package and receipt just in case.

I had stopped feeding frozen foods after my fish started getting bigger. Since I recently got some growouts that I was trying to get some growth on I bought some and really noticed them taking off in size. Since I had it I went ahead and fed the big fish some bloodworms, mysis and brine shrimp. It was hilarious watching these big fish go after such small foods.

Good to know, I think my fish are getting tired of the mysis shrimp.
