Today only. Sears has the Craftsman 5/8" x 75 ft. Heavy Duty Neverkink Self-Straightening Hose on sale for $21 with free in-store pickup or $12 shipping to home. Features reflex mesh construction, solid brass octagon coupling, and MicroShield to guard against mold and mildew.
While not as flexible in cold weather or as durable as their black all rubber hoses, these are very nice for the price and don't leave a black residue all over your hands and clothes like the all rubber one does.
^ 5/8" works fine for the majority of people, besides which the only 3/4" 75' on Sears.com is $78, although there seems to be a pretty good price on a contractor grade 75' x 3/4" on Amazon for $44:
leo there is a typo "Tody only."

I have one of those but it's not a garden type...
You'd be a fool to buy 5/8 hose. 3/4 is much, much better. It provides much better flow.
Stores put their 5/8 hose on sale to attract people who don't know any better. Then they can sell them the 3/4 later when they realize their mistake.
