Rediculous prices at Petco

I use to work for Petco and I got a 20% discount for being an employee. I am no longer working there so I started going to the closer pet store which is Petsmart. I was in complete shock when I saw the TREMENDOUS difference in prices. Petsmart is at least 50% cheaper on most of the products I use to get at Petco. I will never get another thing from Petco. Has anyone else noticed this huge difference and what are your thoughts on it.

Which state do you live in, and what products are you buying? The prices are fairly comparable in NJ, but I don't do much of the buying for our dog and bird.

I live in Indiana. Petco has sold out to some people who no nothing about animal's or their needs. The price difference I am talking about for instance is a Tommy Cage or Marcheono which ever you choose to call it. Petco get's them for $14.00 and sells them for $75.00. All the food cat, dog, rabbit, ferret ect is at least 25% more. Petsmart sells a 34lb of yesterdays news litter for 12.50 petco sell the same bag for $24.00. It is to greedy for me to comprehend.

Too greedy? Well, it IS corporate America, we can't expect all too much more from them I suppose
