And the reason... our government, who is so foolish as to propagate CORN for car fuel! Everything has gone up because of this ridiculous idea! And Dems think government is the answer to problems when in fact, it's the cause of most problems!!

Too bad. But America has spoiled their animals/pets. In foreign countries I have visited, the animals live off food scraps, eat rice, etc.

Madison Avenue has sold us a package. Granted, it's a healthy one, but not necessarily a needed one when one considers how much "human" food is tossed on a daily basis.

I agree, bil. We waste so much food! When I am overseas and see people standing in line for an hour or more just to eat, I am more mindful of what I put on my plate. The animals always get the scraps.

The last time I ate a dog biscuit my wife punched me because she was so shocked. lol

I shop around for reputable brands. Target has some of the lowest prices on name brands-much lower than the grocery stores or the pet stores. I generally buy Iams for my dog. I buy pure seeds for the bird, hay and grain for the rabbit and chinchilla and catch fish in the creek for the turtle. One thing, I do look for sales on pet foods and donate them to shelters and rescue groups. They will take unopened packages, so if you have a pet that doesn't like or can't eat a packet or canned food, consider donating. I think food banks are also soliciting pet food for the seniors and such who use their programs.

I use Purina. I think a medium size bag is 10.00 and the larger bag is 20.00. Since we live in the country we see animals put out, just this weekend there were 3 puppies looked to be about 10 weeks old in the middle of the T at the end of the road. They expect us to take care of them but country people already have their animals, so what can we do, we have no animal shelter. My husband said he would like to catch the idiots take them to the desert and say sorry you were born but society can't take care of you, hope you make it.

On a side note, I had heard that Ole Roy is not much more than pure fat, and not much nutrition. (I have never investigated this). But I am certainly going to look at mixing some less expensive foods w/ good foods to try and lessen the cost.
