I usually always go to the store or Walmart to get all of my wet and dry catfood! Instead of that a few days ago I bought cat food from a site called petfooddirect! It has food for cats and dogs and other animals! It also has toys and many other things! I think it is neat that I was able to buy it online! The shipping was a little expensive but I bought Fancy Feast and they had it on sell for 43 cents a can! That is great and I found an online coupon to add to it so I actually saved about $10.00 then going to the store to buy it! Where do you buy cat food? Have you aver used the site I mentioned? Have any other way of buying I have never thought of? Let me know about your cat food buying!

I buy dry cat food at Wal Mart or Sam's Club. I go to a "scratch and dent" store and pay 35 cents per can when I buy it. I have been making some cat food from scratch, lately so that I could include some things that the cats have been craving, like squash and pumpkin. It seems to make them healthier. I have ordered Frontline from Petco online. I have a website membership that awards me points to shop through them, and then the points all add up to gift cards, so even if I wanted to shop at petfooddirect I would try to go there through this other website, so I would save money and earn points.

I do MyPoints, do you know of any others? Download the search bar too. Oh, and be sure to print and use coupons.

I have never bought my cat food from Sams Club because we do not have one of those in uour area but I have bought from Walmart before! I think that is neat where you can get the cat food for cheaper because of a few dents! I also sometines find myself making my own cat food out of tuna and things like that! What website do you use to do this? I also have a points site but I have not looked and I think I will go look at mine right now! I like point sites! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!

I also use Mypoints! It is really awesome because I have already gotten several gift cards! Not really sure of any others but I love Mypoints! I have never downloaded the search bar but is there a way to make money with it? I think there is but I am not sure! I have also used the coupons a few times and that is a great way to make points! The main way I get my points is through the emails! Even though the main focus to make points is to shop I have never done that! Ordered off pet food direct and did not even know it was under Mypoints! Now I know for next time!

I shop at Meijer for my cat food. I give them either Friskies indoor formula or Purina Cat Chow indoor formula. I get the 16 lb bag (used to be 18 lbs about a year or so ago) I have 5 cats, so I need the industrial sized bag. Sometimes I will get them wet food as a special treat. I find Meijers is the least expensive place to get the cat food in my area.

I have never heard of that place to go and buy cat food, is it out of the United Sates? I also feed Friskies alot of the time but like I said before I actually bought the Fancy Feast offline! I also like to buy dry food in bulk because it makes it a lot easier! I have 4 so like you I have to buy everything in bulk! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!

Okay... geuss that store is not around in my area. I love to buy in bulk because it saves alot of money but like you said it does start to wear my arms out! LOL!!!! Yes.. when you buy from Kroger or even at my local grocery store the price for cat food is crazy! I did like getting it delivered strait to my house! Makes it a lot easier!

Yes, it is in the States. I forget sometimes online that not everyone is familiar with our shops. Sorry about that. That particular store, Meijers, has it cheaper than anyone. It is around 12.00 for the Friskies, and 14.00 for the Cat Chow. I about have a heart attack every time I look at the price at Kroger or someplace else! Even on sale they are a bit higher. It's so fun buying in bulk, isn't it? My arms get tired from carrying in the litter and the food. lol. Can't do them both in one day. Having it delivered right to your house is awesome! No trying to balance the eggs around it so they won't be scrambled before you get home. That is terrific. Happy mylotting!

Wow, thanks for this info, I have been looking for deals since we have two puppies..:)

Unfortnuately it was much more expensive, and this is even before the shipping costs. 16.99 for the bag we get here at 13.99, which we really get for 11.99 with the 2.00 off coupon we get in each bag. I think even with gas costs, it is better we continue to buy our dogfood at the store, but maybe for another this site will be good..

You are welcome for the information and I hope that you will look into it and see if you can find any good deals on the dog food you buy! Believe it or not like I said you actually get a little bit of a savings online at the site if you get the food on sale! Hope you find some good deals for the food for your puppies! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!

I see you also like to feed Friskies to you cats like me! I have never used Purina One Kitten Food! I know if my cats are happy then it makes me feel better! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!

well, to be honestly, i dont have a cat, i just have 2 dogs, but talking about the food for them, i usually buy on the supermaeket in animal´section, because in vets are too expensive, but of course, i buy good quality food for them because this not meaning that buying on supermarket were worst or something like this, i just buy there because sometines u can find the same food with differents prices and of course, i dont like to waste my money on things more expensive while i could buy cheaper.. well, when i dont going to the soupermarket because i dont have time or something like that, i call to the vet and they bring me the food and i pay here.. one of the things i dont like to much is to buy the animal food on the street or on a fair, because6 the food were exposed to the sun and would be in not a good state.. perhaps wouldn not happen nothing, but i dont like to do a "test" with my animals hehe.. thanks for asking, have a nice day

Even though you do not have a cat I bet the same ways of buying dog food go along with me buying cat food! I have to agree that the vet food is alot more expensive then "supermarket food" in most cases! It is amazing how you can buy the same type of food at different places and pay a very different amount! Hope you continue to find the best ways to buy your dog food! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!

I get my cat food from either pet smart, publix, doller general, or wal-mart. Everything is about the same price, but whatever we do we end up saving. money regardless. We catch things on sale which helps save money and we don't by expencive name-brands like fancy feast.

We do not have a Publix in our area but I have gotten my cat food from all of the other stores you mentioned! What type of store in a Publix? The catfood at Petsmart is very fair priced especially when You use your pet perks card! I always like to save when I am buying the cat food from in store specials to coupons it all helps! I have started buying Fancy Feast because our cats are just a little spoiled! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!

I usually go to either Petsmart or order from them online. They usually have a free shipping offer and I already know what I want so it's quick and easy. Every few months tho I will go there since they have animal adoption days and I love to see the kittens and puppies. Tho I do have to be careful since that's how we got our 2nd cat. She wasn't planned at all, she was just adorable and only had a tiny 1 inch long stumpy tail so it was like she was just waiting for us. She has been the easiest going cat and I think she's still grateful for being rescued. She was a feral cat and sadly undernourished. She's a little plump but super healthy and playful now. I love the convenience of getting the heavy cat litter and big bags of food delivered as it's so much easier. Tho I'm not sure my UPS fellow agrees!

I also someimtes go to Petsmart but usually I do not because it is to far away from our house! I always like when I can go online and find a free shipping offer whice makes it really cheap! I always like to go and look at all of the kittens to adopt at Petsmart! They are so cute and I always want to take one home! Never have gotten one from there but still have ended up with 4 cats! That is very true delivery is better! Not for the delivery person though!!! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!
