The idea is while you are they saving on that item you usually spend a crap ton on other items.

Just did the Advance Auto sale. 5qt M1 & M1 filter for $29.99. Then I had to add on another quart at full price, so with tax it came to ~$40.00. Not a bad deal at all. No coupon, just a walk in special.

Is there an ad or something linking to the sale?

Is this recent? I bought my ramps there Saturday and no sale like that. Maybe started Sunday? I'm going there on lunch in 15 min to look now. That's a great deal!

I bought it a week ago last Saturday. The wife was out of town so I decided to change the oil. In terms of sales not sure if that's recent or not. (Sorry - I used the wording 'just did' when I should have said 'recently').

I saw the ad in a flyer but not sure if it was in the store - the guy helped me by getting everything for me while I was dumping some other oil in their backroom. I came back, he had it all ready & rang it up for me.

Maybe it ended 10/1 this time around.

I should also add, each of our 4,000 stores price matching guide lines differ due to management. However, Corporate says we should price match ANY competitor. Online or local. We will price match Walmart.
