Your Questions About Organic Dog Food Coupons

Daniel asks…

What is the best store bought dog food for my Chihuahua and are there coupons?

admin answers:

Our pets need quality food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. “Vet approved” means they have a vet on staff to approve their product. In other words, someone paid to approve it. Same with foods most vets recommend. Salesmen “gift” vets then the vet recommends the food. Most vets are not nutritionists! Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient Wellness, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Carol asks…

Why is Kate of Jon and Kate plus 8 considered mean?

Once again like my other question, I don’t watch the show but I can’t avoid the news and there’s always something talking about the people in this show. Anyways why is everyone saying the mother is a bitch or mean?

admin answers:

Oh gee i dunno..where do i begin?

1. She shut out her parents b/c they gave them mismatched cribs instead of cash.
2. She wouldn’t let aunt jodi get paid from tlc, and even went behind her back to prevent it from happening.
3. She treats her husband like a dog/disobedient child
4. She takes any handout she can get, and worse than that feels she’s entitled to every free offer on the planet
5. She is so money hungry that she doesn’t care that the publicity from the show is ruining her family.
6. She berated jon over not using a $20 coupon, but spends thousands of dollars on her new hideous look, which includes a rooster/80’s/lesbian hairstyle, at least 20 pairs of new shoes that i’ve seen over the last 2 months, tanning, spa treatments and new clothes.
7. She pretends she does everything herself, when she’s had a LOT of help from day one…more than our grandmothers ever would have dreamed of! (my grandmother had more kids than that…naturally…and NO help)!
8. All she does is take her kids on free vacations and treat others like total garbage.
9. It was HER idea and HER idea alone to continue the show and be followed by cameras. That didn’t “just happen!” she’s willing to put up with it b/c she’s a money-hungry animal.
10. She went through fertility treatments knowing she would have multiples, but went through with it anyway, assuming that her family would be magically provided for.
11. And as far as the organic food, they have been seen drinking frappuchinos and eating fast food for the last couple of months. Do you really think she feeds them organic food on their dozens of vacations each year?
12. The kids college educations are already paid for. In addition to that, they get 75 grand per episode…plus money from autographs, books and speaking engagements.
13. She fires every helper that comes into the house!
14. She is a fraud.
15. She alienated all of her family and closest friends.
16. There are other families of mutliples who have chosen to provide for their families on their own………

Ruth asks…

Moms- How much do you spend on groceries per week?

And for how many kids / people? I have 3 kids, but only 2 who consume groceries.. and a very hungry husband. I am thinking I could be cutting costs somewhere, so what is your average?

admin answers:

For me, my husband and son I can do 2 weeks worth of grocery shopping for dinners and other meals on $165 which boils down to about $80 a week… And no, we do not eat hamburger helper and pasta either. Mostly I buy alot of fresh things when I can, no processed junk foods or sodas. I do not buy organic (which allows you to buy less because it costs more and therefore the healthy food you need you don’t get enough of). I coupon clip, compare sales ads for the stores near me for the best prices and double coupon offers(when they have them). I look for buy one get one free offers in my market on things I need, buy store brand things for more pricey fair if it is something I need on my list etc.. If your store has a shopper card that allows you discounts or special buy pricing get one. They are usually free at places that have these and you can use them with coupons. I find it also helps to sit down before grocery day and plan my menus out. I do several “cook once and eat twice” type meals, especially in summer weather (left over chicken makes a great salad topper for dinner salada OR you can make your own pizza with it, sandwich wraps or even chunk or shred it to make soup etc.. ). Taking a pantry inventory and then planning my menus accordingly not only saves me money at the market but it also guarantees that there is minimal to no waste.
My son is a toddler and eats table foods like we do, but at least for now it doesn’t add much to the final total (and I don’t consider an extra gallon of milk here or there for my little milk-a-holic to be a big deal).
My bill includes ALL items, including home items and pet supplies (5 cats, 2 dogs). I use petco for my pet food because every 10 bags I buy there I get a free bag which can save me about $20 on those trips for pet food. My husband and I are major foodies so we tend to shop accordinly. I use publix as my main market but I also use Brunos (like a whole foods market ), Whole Foods. When travelling and in need of a grocery store I look for either a Whole Foods, Central Market or somewhere comparable. I also find that using COSTCO for certain items like paper goods, common staple items, cleaning items and meats about 3 times a year helps. It’s alot on those trips (usually $500) but we only do it 3 times a year and in the long run it saves us money because I am not continually buying things like meat, flour, sugar, paper towels, laundry supplies etc.. At the market all the time which can add up. There are just some items that buying in bulk makes sense for us to buy it large, store it in our pantry and then worry about just what we need week to week for meals. I am in the South Eastern US.

Nancy asks…

i need to switch cat food?

i use vet cat food and it is very expensive. i use it for one of my cats who used to have bad hairballs. the vet food works well but i need something less expensive. please help.
i went to vet today and she suggested i keep the vet brand cat food. i have heard that the better more expensive foods do pay dividends. ie. litter box waste, healthier cat, etc. am i wrong?

admin answers:

You know, getting a good all around naturally balanced healthy and complete food will take care of hairballs and more! First off, for the health of your cat i would suggest avoiding any ingredient labels that contain byproducts, wheat, corn, soy, BHA, BHT, ethoxyquin, dies, artificial flavours and preservatives. These are pointless fillers, additivies, and things that are for human appeal and bad for animals kidneys and livers! Allright ill lead you in the direction of Eagle Pack Holisitic Select, this is what we recomend at the hospital i work for and i recomend it from experience with my cats and dogs. It eliminated hairballs naturally, firms up stool, decreases odor, miracoulously improves skin conditions and is amazing!! All natural, usda organic, the vitamins come from naturally occuring things like carrots, blueberries etc…. Not a chemical formula that can not be metabolized. They are not expensive and always have BOGO coupons.
