I just about over did my capability and patience yesterday with the meat shopping I did. Ugh – packaged up everything ‘cept the 2 chix and 2 turkey breasts and the tilapia last nite – will finish tonight. Even had to overflow into the human freezer LOL. I don’t usually buy this much at once but 4 stores had sales that I wanted to take advantage of!
I finally got over paying $1.79 for some things and stocked up….(FOR MY ONE DOG). Here was my score yesterday – 4 stores and $75.75 and 56 lbs of meat later….. I finally did some math – tho this does not include what was already in my freezer…. Keep in mind, I currently feed ½ kibble AM and ½ raw PM.
This does not include the random eggs, canned tripe or canned sardines, etc. – I also get whole mackerel for $2.00/lb that is not included here, which is fed once a week. I also feed chicken for 2 days or so and then alternate with a different meat.
(sorry - my nice spaces n columns didn't come out when I pasted...)
