Yes, aiming for things on sale and/or $1 or under per pound. I have several ethnic supermarkets in my vicinity and when their chicken goes on sale, I pounce on it! Whole chickens or parts for 0.36 cents per pound is a great price! I also regularly score free organ meats from my butcher!
Once you people become prey model feeders, they become resourceful and hunting for bargains becomes a real hobby!!!
I feed 3 Yorkies for under $20 a month! Sometimes even less, sometimes a little more. It depends. That's why I bought an upright freezer to store my Yorkie's food so I can take real advantage or great sale items and stock up accordingly!

So there are a lot of things you can do to make it less expensive. Of course, I suppose if you wanted to you could always feed your dog the best of the best like steak and things and then it could get pretty expensive. Personally, I'm trying to aim for that $1 average. The chicken I have gotten has all been under a $1/lb but I expect that I'll have to pay a little more for pork or beef. Hope that helps! |
