So what you are telling me is that Diamond is giving a 50% "discount" to TSC or Big R for the feed they buy?

I keep close tabs on feed prices, and have for quite some time, since I was buying feed 22 ton at a time.

One of those stores is having a "feed sale" this weekend. They are selling the Diamond 24/20 for $17.99 per bag. Now I know that shipping is currently running between .75 and 1.00 a bag...so that brings the FOB price down to 16.99 a bag.

If what you say is true, somehow TSC is buying that same bag of diamond for around $8.50 a bag. I find that very, very, hard to believe that Diamond is selling TSC feed at a loss....

I'm sure that there are some items in the inventory at TSC that are marked up by 50%, but feed, be it dog food, or goat feed is NOT marked up by %50 anywhere.

I thought about that at about 1:00 AM while I was driving from drop to drop.

I was talking on the phone at the same time as I was posting that. I need to pay attention to what I'm doing when it comes to "cipherin"

One good example - did you ever price a case of beer at your local grocery chain and at your local bar and wonder why the grocery store sells it so much cheaper? It's not because of the volume they buy, it's because they hope you will buy lots of other things while you are there.
Same with dog food.

It makes me want to go buy a 500 gallon tank and fill it full of gas at $2.59/gal. I have my doubts it will stay that low...

I bought a bag of Black Gold a week ago for $25.00.

Iowa deer season is coming up soon. In my part of the state there is a hi-power season in late winter. Strictly does.

I figure with what I would spend in dog food per year at the above mentioned price, I can buy and fill enough doe tags to allow my dogs to eat government speed beef for an entire year.

I've got a big deep freeze and I'm not afraid to use it...lol

Dogs weren't meant to eat corn anyway.
