cheapest place to buy wellness?
Giant thanks to Megan for spending her time on the phone tonight helping my
wife and I out with our cats' diet. I need to buy lots of Wellness. The cheapest I've been able to find it is actually locally for $20.99/case of 24 5.5oz cans ($0.87/can). I almost ALWAYS find products cheaper on the internet with froogle or shopping.yahoo.com or dealtime or others, but I'm having zero luck with this one. I've found it slightly cheaper per can ($0.83), but once shipping is added in, it's way over. Anyone have any luck with buying it online, or stores that carry it that take coupons or some such? Thanks! |

Thanks! I don't know what it works out to, but if you buy from Petfooddirect.com, they start sending you 20% and 13% off coupons by email quite regularly. For me it just about knocks off shipping on my Petguard but it is still cheaper than buying it at the store. Right now, it is almost even, and less hassle for me to buy it at the store, but if the price increases, it will *definitely* be cheaper. You could check it out anyway. the coupons could make the difference. i had that website on my list, the cheapest way to buy there is the 12.5 oz cans, so i had to break it down to price per oz. locally it would be .151 cents/oz, thru petfooddirect before shipping it's .133cents/oz, but add in shipping and youre at .179cents/oz. Knock 20% and you're at .143cents/oz which is about a 5% savings and no gas money spent driving 15 miles to the pet store. Are the coupons one use only with a personal code, or something you can share? Thanks for letting me know they do that. |

Are the coupons one use only with a personal code, or something you can share? Thanks for letting me know they do that. I also buy online through www.petfooddirect.com. Once you are on their list, they will frequently send either 13% or 20% discount codes. You have to read your email regularly because each code is valid for only 2 or 3 days. I called their toll-free number the first time I ordered and asked if I would be eligible for the discount. The woman I talked to was very helpful and gave me the 20% discount. In fact, she had to search through her database to get the correct code because it seems that they send different codes to different regions. They ship promptly, and everything is carefully packed. I order both Wellness (several varieties) and Felidae from Petfooddirect. Felidae costs $21.49 for a case of 24 5.5 oz. cans; Wellness costs. $23.49 for a case of 24 5.5 oz. cans. The 20% discount is almost the exact equivalent of shipping. This means that your local price is slightly less -- and you are getting the best price I have seen so far (a very good buy if you are able to get several varieties). Unfortunately, neither Wellness nor Felidae is carried in any store within reasonable driving distance, so I order mine delivered. It would be slightly cheapter in the 12.5 oz. cans, but I find the 5.5 oz. cans to be more convenient. You have made a good selection for you cat food. I had to be patient and persistent when I changed Holly and Duffy's diet from freefed dry food to carefully measured canned food, but it has been well worth it. Both cats are now satisfied with their food, and they are thriving. They are healthy, energetic, and have beautiful coats. Holly's dandruff completely disappeared, and their weight is now completely stable. Good luck! MaryL |

Anyone have any luck with buying it online, or stores that carry it that take coupons or some such? Thanks! You might want to contact the company directly to see if they'll send you some coupons. Many companies will do this and it might worth a try.

Thanks! Hello! Megan has been helping me too--and I'm (er, the cats) are now on Wellness too. Your local price sounds decent. The cheapest I found in my area is .95 per can, so I'm buying locally. However, I discovered a friend, who lives an hour away, found it for .85 per can--so whenever we visit each other I'll stock up. Another thought--do any of your local stores have "punch cards" or discount cards. The one I'm using has a punch card that, once it's filled you get a discount on the next purchase. It's a little something anyway. Rene |
