I have fed my kids Pro Plan and One for 20 years, so switching to a lower grade food is a hard pill to swallow. But the savings is about $200 per month. This became a substantial amount when I was laid off in January. If you use Purina products, you can save the weight circles on the package, then submit them to Purina and get checks back to use to purchase more Purina food. If you are feeding a bunch of dogs, the weight adds up quickly. It works kind of like this: Each pound of Dog Chow is worth 8 points so a large bag of dog food is 44.1 lbs times 8 points = 352.8 points. Once you reach 7,000 points (about 875 pounds of food), you can redeem your points for 10 $7 checks. So combine that with any coupons you can find for the food and that's my current strategy. I don't know where you are located, but there are pet food banks in several states.
