Watch Out For Petco's Fuzzy Kitty Litter Math
Just because something is on sale, even a sale only available to holders of a store's discount card, that doesn't mean it's a good deal. Want a real-life example?

I saw these at Petco earlier today. Notice that for Petco P.A.L.S. customers, the 20 pound box is $1 more than the 28 pound box for the same product!
The extra three pounds in the box that's normally 28 pounds makes this deal even less fair.
