well at least my dogs can eat this winter .
menards has the small cans of dog food I think "mighty dog ? " brand with there on going 11% and rebaits its free , no limits of course its in the form of a menards only card with little effort but we buy a lot of stuff and lumber from them any way , they had a page of "free items " same way rebaits and get a instore credit wife picked up some cleaning goods and " light duty " house work gloves . among other items
we feed out dogs I would guess 85 to 90% all chicken we cook up for them mix in rice and some times peas and some dog food to break up the same old stuff , we also do chicken jerky we made for them ) at least they will be set for a long time we bought 300 or so cans to add in with the chicken . we will give my youngest son some of it for his dog also
I thought about when I got home I will go back and buy some for the local animal shelters as they can always use the help
side note now if they would do the cat food that way I would be one happy fellow we have about a dozen + or so cats and a guess 10 skunks a stray opossum or two and a racoon on occasion helping the cats eat we go thru a a lot of cat food the " black and white cats with fuel injection " will be trapped here soon so the feed bill will be dropping

I had to buy canned food to supplement the Mother dog after she popped 15 pups(11 survived and sold 10 for $350 each so fairly good return on investment). No way would I spend that much to feed a pet. Actually, don't have 'pets'. Have a couple of 'barn dogs' to keep the raccoons from eating all the cat food. Have 'barn cats' to prevent rodents from eating everything else.
when younger and even growing up they were just dogs and cats no real deep emotional attachments just pets as we got older ( wife and I ) they became more like family
