Petco 50% Off Sale (formerly Dollar Per Gallon Sale)

Well, looks like they changed the 24 hour flash sale for these into the full month of May 2022. I've updated this as the sale is on!

I wonder if they are going to do more of these flash sales you noted compared to keeping the cadence of the event sales next.

Possibly, it definitely is interesting to see them try out various marketing aspects when it comes to this sale (30% vs. 50%, 50% vs. $1/gal) and then trying to have it renamed to other aspects.

Looks like they are mixing it up again, I missed on my radar the 20% off tank sale on anything bigger than 40 gallon breeder tanks (I'll start to focus on these more often since they seem to be running a 20-30% off sale on specific tanks in-between the 50% off sales).

Looks like they started the sale earlier than we expected - it’s going on now until August 1st!

Makes you wonder if they are going to increase the sizes offered since they have also expanded outside of just the Aqueon tanks now.

I’m sure they will, especially as you noted that they offered far more than just open tanks for this sale (included other different tank shapes and sizes).

I’m also super curious what will happen to the consistency of this sale as inflation rises (will we expect 50% off to become the common 20% off they have been randomly doing?).

Based on previous dates, and the fact that they had a 2-month-long sale compared to normally 4-5 weeks, the new estimated date has been added.

It appears that Petco had a very small Labor Day weekend sale that matched the 50% off we normally see - since we aren't used to them traditionally having sales on holiday weekends/days, it was missed (but has been added to the past event tracker sheet for reference).

Wonder if that will be the new normal in order to clear out older inventory (especially with the looming recession occurring in the US due to super high inflation).

Thank you for providing this!

I'm unsure on when the current event will end since it was scheduled to end on 10/31/22 but the sale is still being shown online for orders. They did, however, release another week-long sale period which will be 11/20-11/27 (which makes sense, for Black Friday reasons).

Looks like they still have some Cyber Monday deals going on (won't be tracked here), I'll be curious if they keep them going the full week or end it after tonight once the website refreshes.

End of year 50% off sale started on Tuesday, now's the time to get another tank for those of you who wanted a late Christmas gift!

Thanks for keeping track!
