Math for dummies

As some of you know, since Max had his dental surgery a few years ago, he's needed to eat more soft food. He's also picky, and tends to like Fancy Feast canned food best. He eats two cans of the stuff a day.

Fancy Feast costs $.69 a can at our local Shaw's (which is the closest supermarket to our house).

I finally thought to check our Hannaford's (which I can stop at on the way home from work) It costs $.35 a can there.

*blink*

That's a savings of $248.20 a year.

That's nothing to sneeze at.

(FWIW, it's $.45 per can at Target, and somewhere over $.50 at Stop & Shop).

$0.69 for Fancy Feast? Yikes! I was paying that price for premium brand cat food (Iams, Science Diet, etc.) Check around your locale for a PetsMart. I find their prices are even cheaper than my grocery stores.

My friend in RI used to work for Shaw's and their prices were cheaper than everyone elses'. I wonder if they got bought out like Waldbaum's did in NYC? (A&P bought them and prices skyrocketed.)

We buy our older cat Fancy Feast (as it's all he will eat, too) and use the grocery store since our local Petsmart is on the other side of town. It winds up being about $0.50 a can at Publix and Wal-Mart.

Shaw's is pretty much the wrong answer in every category, around here.

I buy everything I can at Hannaford's. The Stonyfield Farms yogurt is something like $.10 less than Shaw's, which adds up to a LOT around here. Likewise, the store brand pasta in the 5 lb bags is very cheap.

And the really neat thing about Hannafords too is that they have a steadily expanding gluten free section -- and if you spend over $25 in a trip, you get their FRESH magazine for free and that often has gluten free recipes in it. The recipes in the mag are generally pretty good, although we've hit a few stinkers (but they were shellfish based, and I'm thinking that someone in your family does not eat shellfish, unless, of course, I've confused you with someone else on the internet *grin*)

And they have the BEST frozen duck I've ever bought, but not all the time.
