694.0. "Good Food Cheap?" by DECSIM::TAYLOR () Fri Jul 31 1987 16:40

    Hiya. My kitties have so far gotten Iams (a milk-carton full for
    about $3.50) Kitten Food and Science Diet Feline Growth (a 4-lb
    bag for $6.25) - they love 'em both (although they like cheese better).
       Since I'm going to buying catfood for the next 15+ years, I'd
    like to know where the best places in the Massachusetts area are
    for buying it so I can still keep my house. I don't mind buying
    in large quantities from wholesalers - that's preferable if it'll
    bring the proce down.
       Thanks muchly.

    p.s. my data points. The Iams I bought in Arlington Ctr.
                         The Science Diet was from Vet Med in Franklin.

694.1	Boston Pet in Waltham	VAXWRK::SKALTSIS	Deb	`Fri Jul 31 1987 16:59`	6
	I don't know if this is true for all of them, but the Boston Pet Supply in Waltham is pretty cheap. I'm not sure of the exact prices, but when you bring the food to the counter, they take 10% off the price marked. If you buy three or more bags, they take 20% off. Deb
694.2	Beef	25192::MECLER	FRANK	`Fri Jul 31 1987 17:06`	6
	We feed our cats (mostly show and breeders) the raw beef fed to greyhounds supplemented with rice baby cereal and a calcium/phosporus blend. We but it from the track supplier @ ~ 40 cents/lb. Cats love it but we need a freezer just for their food. Frank
694.3	stock up at cat shows	TOPDOC::TRACHMAN		`Mon Aug 03 1987 10:25`	5
	Another place to stock up would be at the shows - they are usually cheaper than the feed & grain places(if there are shows in your area). E.T.
694.4	Another Place	BUFFER::HOFFMAN	Joan Hoffman, DTN: 276-9829	`Mon Aug 03 1987 12:42`	8
	All of the Breeder's Pride stores carry Iams, Science, Tami-Ami, etc.; however, I'm not sure if they are cheaper than other places. Regards, J
694.5		GALWAY::SMARTIN		`Mon Aug 24 1987 11:26`	10
	Erickson's on route 27 (just north of Maynard and south of Acton) carries Science Diet. I usually buy the dry food. At one point I checked a bunch of stores for a while, and Erickson's was always cheaper for the food. Another place WAS cheaper for the litter I (and cats) like. but they stoped carrying it - so now I just visit Ericksons. If you decide to buy locally, you might want to survey all the places prices for a bit, before you decide which one to use. Sally
