Find out on what days of the week the flyers for the various grocery stores and pet stores come out in your area and then peruse them with a fine toothed comb.

While you are at it clip coupons from the local newspaper and magazines. The Internet is also an excellent source for finding coupons. They can bring savings your way that you would not find elsewhere. Check online coupon websites for pet food products.

You also might want to visit the website for the food company’s you purchase from and sign up to have coupons sent to you through the mail or through e-mail.
To reduce the costs you pay on your cat or dog food shop at stores where you can buy food in bulk, such as Sam’s Club. At this store a membership is required but it may be worth it to you. In this way you can save money by purchasing food for Sadie or Oscar in larger quantities than you could find at local supermarkets.
Besides supermarkets and bulk stores you should take a look through discount stores in your community as well as a department store like Wal-Mart where prices tend to be lower, on a variety of items including pet food.
If you are a whiz in the kitchen then look for pet food recipes online and in books from the library and make your own food for your adorable animals. Many homemade recipes are healthier for your pets than commercial food because you know every ingredient that goes into the food. You can purchase the ingredients in large quantities and then make medium to large portions that can be frozen until they are needed- just like you might do for your own food!
If you have a dog then find out all you can about the raw food diet for dogs, as well as natural foods for your pet. Raw meats can be purchased at reasonable rates if you know where to shop.
