Both my cat and I are sold on canned food. Her tastes are also very
refined, she especially prefers Pro Plan and Fancy Feast. Problem, is
these ar equite expensive, day in day out.

Any strategies on where or how I can get best prices on them? I would
love to average 25 c/can, otherwise whatever is possible. I am willing
to clip coupons, buy bulk, buy mail order, whatever works...

You can check out www.petfooddirect.com . I've ordered Wellness, Petguard &
Science Diet from them a bunch of times. I just looked and their regular
price for a case of 24 Fancy Feast is $13.99, for all flavors. Pro Plan is
$15.49 for a case of 24 cans. There's always a button to click for a 5%
discount, and once you order from them they send e-mail coupon codes all the
time. I usually get at least 2 e-mails a week. I wait until I get a code
for 20% - 25% off and then stock up. Most coupon codes that I get are for
13% off. You do have to pay for shipping, though. They're located in
Pennsylvania so shipping cost & time depends on where you live. I'm in NYC
so I'm in the same UPS zone and my orders arrive the day after they're
shipped. When I get a 22% or the rare 25% coupon it's definitely worth it.
Since I'm in a different state, there's also no sales tax. My shipping
charge is usually around $8.99 for several cases.

I have an e-mail from them with a 20% coupon code right now (PET3249) that
expires at midnight tonight. You have to check the offers carefully as some
of them can't be used for food & litter. This 20% code is good for
everything except free shipping items & gift certificates.

This is just a thought ---My personal experience with canned food has been
whenever I stocked up on something, the cat quit eating it. My garbage
disposer was always well fed. MLB

Premium foods like Wellness, Innova, and Nutro guarantee their product.
The store will take back unopened cans and refund your money if your cat
won't eat the product. I had to return several cases of Nutro when they
changed their formula and Amber refused to eat it.

Really. Lowest I have ever found was .41 at Walmart and the selection
sucked.

Well I wholesale resell for a living here are my some of my results

At the link above the price on 5.5 oz cans of Nine Lives was just .32--very
good. But I wonder about the nutrition in the others, and in fact have never
seen the breakdown for 9 lives. Anyone?

What a GREAT site! When you click on "details" it gives you the ingredients.
Wonderful just for research. Thanks, Elizabeth.

At least that's the goal. :-) American marketing is a strange thing. I
just stocked up on Pro Plan at the average of less than 27 c/can: their
regular price at Petsmart is 59c. Right now there is a sale for 40c. I
was able to get "buy 2 get 1 free" coupons, bringing the price to 80/3
cents per can.

Petsmart's reg price for friskies is 32c for 5.5 oz can, not bad
really. On sales it would only drop by penny or two. It is with the
likes of FF and ProPlan that I look for breaks.

Just to clarify, I mentioned 25c as my dream target for smaller 3 oz
cans. For 5.5-6 oz cans, 50c is quite good and come to approximately
the same value.

Will look into it. Fornow I was able to get some buy2get1free coupons
for ProPlan which combined with a sale, brought the price down to 80c
for 3 small cans. Not bad.

These prices don't look too good. At Petsmart, Target, etc. a case of
24 FF cans is routinely sold for $10-$11. May be a buck or two chaper
during sales.

: Pro Plan is $15.49 for a case of 24 cans.

That is 65c/can. Petmart's regular price is 59. Sale 40. With
buy2get1free coupons, I just averaged 27.
