I don't have a choice on storage. I drive over an hour one way to get a discount on the Purina and I've feed it for about 18 yrs . The dogs do well on it and I don't have to feed a lot of it to each dog. I guess all of us are feeling the crunch. Mary In a message dated 8/31/2009 2:19:35 P.M.

Nope, not lately, but they've been selling that 37.5lb bag for a couple of years now. I stopped using Purina last year when they started with the shredded stuff and the price went through the roof. I switched over to Kirkland and boy am I happy I did. First, I actually get a #40 bag and I'm paying less per bag than I did for less Pro Plan even after I used the checks from the weight circles, the stores 10% off of 200 lbs, and the free bag with 10 bags. Much more convenient than having to store all that food. Of course feeding less to maintain weight, my dogs having a healthier coat and better stools are just an added plus <G> Liz _www.lealynn.com_ (http://www.lealynn.com/) GSDCA member since 1976 Signers of the Breeders Code ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
