How to Buy Dog Food Cheap

If the budget is clamping down and you need to cut corners, instead of buying off brand or cheaper dog food, try these techniques on finding name brand at cheaper prices

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Plan when you buy the food and use online resources. Petsmart and Petsco offer coupons (percentages off) when you buy at certain times. All you need to do is sign up for their ezine and keep an eye for the offers. I see deals at least 2x's a month.

2. Use coupons. If you are using a name brand, then there has to be a coupon out there for using. If your store allows it, grocers will double and this gives more bang for the buck. Coupons can be found in the Sunday paper, online at coupons sites or check Ebay for lot sellers of particular brands.

3. Buy at the livestock supply store. Also known as ranch stores. Mainstream grocers and pet companies have a fairly large marketup. However, the livestock stores are usually owned by locals and can be cheaper - substantially.

4. Buy in bulk. If you have a car for Sams Club or Costco, you may be able to find your dog food much cheap in quantity. This way you buy it less often and get more cash savings.
