If you buy the ProPlan correctly, it costs less than the Sam's Exceed. You just have to be willing to do some planning and use coupons. I buy 10 bags at a time and here is how I do it. Petco $ 33.99 a bag. $339.90 @10 bags - 34.00 Petco 200 lb discount $305.90 - 60.00 Petco Pal's Card discount $245.90 - 24.59 Petco 10% off coupon in local newspaper $221.31 - 70.00 Pro Plan checks $151.31 total price 1 free bag from Petco for every 10 bags and I end up paying $13.76 per bag, plus tax of course. I've also worked out a deal with my local Petco, that I don't have to take all 10 bags home at the same time. I can come and get a bag or 2 or 3 whenever I want so I don't have to store it.
