Reply #2: We're probably spending about $20 a week now [View All]

on dry Beneful (salmon) and canned Alpo (chicken). We were spending close to $30 week on dry and canned Nature's Recipe (lamb or chicken).

I just talked to a meat market here that said he can get sheep/lamb hearts and livers if he orders them from his supplier. He said he'd sell them to me at his cost of .50 a pound if he knows I'll be getting them regularly.

That sounds like a pretty good deal. My winter vegetable garden should start producing here in the next couple months (broccoli, caulif., cabbage, brussel sprouts), so that will help. I'm also starting to think about adding a few chickens to our menagerie. Don't think I could eat one then, but eggs for us and the pupsters........
