WTF is up with feeder prices at Walmart???

[Knowdafish]

For the record, i dont give my fish feeders at all!!! But i just moved to the sacramento area and was walking by the fish section and almost passed out.

$0.28 for small feeder goldfish!!!!!!!! WTF!!! thats even worse than petsmart prices! is that normal in your area? i went to a different walmart in the area and they were at $0.18, still ridiculous!

what gives?

And I thought Walmart promises to match or beat any other stores prices?!

i only have one other place but its like a dozen small (one inch)for like 2 $ or something, but the feeder guppies are the same price i think that is crazy!!! but they sell so what can you do

show a man how to buy a fish, walmart gets paid.
teach a man how to breed a fish, money gets saved.

when i used to have Mr. Shnoz, my TSN, feeders at my LFS were .12 ea. but the lady who worked there in the evening was cool and gave me 15 for the price of 10 each time lol

but yea, .28 is too much

I have said it a million times. If you use feeders go to a bait store. Here I get a pound of minnows for 16.43 out the door. A pound is supposed to be 28-30 dozen. I have never counted but it is a bunch. And that makes them 4.5 cents a peice. You just have to have a feeder tank that can handle the bio load of 360 fish and not kill them.

12 cents usually for minnows or small goldfish

Ghost shrimp are 34 cents each for 1 4 for a dollar or something like that.

100 for 17$

ghost shrimp are pretty much all I buy only because I like the look of them in my tank, dont use them for feeder purpose. they usually last a long time, the piranhas only pick them off once in a while.

I know feeders are bad but i pay .12 cents for my rosys and comets at petsmart here in des moines.

My guess is that people actually keep walmart feeders as pets hence they would pay that price. Second guess would be they have massive amounts of money lost to them dying that they bump up the prices for the survivors. It could be a combination of the two.
