Every year in June/July and around the holidays, Concord Pet does a big sale. Sometimes it’s called the Midnight Madness Sale, Customer Appreciation sale and so on. It has changed over the years and some years it’s been great, and some years it has been not-so-great. I think for this year, it goes in the “great” column. Here are the details:
Thursday, June 28: 50% off Plush Toys and Nylon (excludes Lupine)
Friday, June 29: 40% off Crates, Beds, Kennels, and Edge Aquariums
Saturday, June 30: 25% off EVERYTHING in the store!
I go to these sales just about every time they come around because I have two big obnoxious dogs. Some of the ‘fine print’ from past years includes:
- No manufacturer or store coupons can be used.
- Each customer may only purchase 2 of each SKU.
The lines at the Hockessin store are outrageous! Seriously, around the store and out the door. They have it very well organized so that you are not carrying 40-lb bags of food while you wait in line and they hand out cookies and donuts. But, in recent years, I just go to New London which isn’t nearly as busy (yet). Sure, since there is sales tax I pay 6% more, but I’m in & out with very little waiting. I’ve often thought about getting two bags of food at Hockessin, then going to New London to get two more, but I never do. The bags of food are $40, so I would be saving $20 if I did that, I just never seem to have time. This year, we need two new crate trays or crate liners, both of ours are cracked. 40% off, woo hoo!
Funny story (at least now I can laugh about it)–last year, I bought my dogs a toy at this sale and was so happy to get half off. Well, stupid Pixie ate the toy and $800 in vet bills later…she’s fine. So I saved about $7 on a toy, and spent $800. Great deal, lol.
