Rip Off Report #1: Petco Survey

So Petco, where I buy my catfood, sent me a survey, and asked if I would be so kind as to take it, for which they would "pay" me a $5 coupon.

I took it. Several weeks later, they email the coupon. It is for $5 off a $25 purchase; moreover, it expires in two weeks. In other words, it is identical to the coupon they regularly flood my inbox with.

Assholes.

If they had just asked me to take it for free, I probably would have. Instead, I feel like a sucker. I hope they're the first of the big box pet stores to go out of business in this economic crisis.

  3. I get Penny's flea medicine from PetMeds online. If you buy $50 or more shipping is free. You might be able to get food there also - or at some other online site.
