Quality Dog Food/Treats/Toys for less

During my first year of graduate school, my fellow lab mate and I calculated our stipend and divided it into the number of hours we worked and found out that we get paid less than the workers at McDonald's...depressing.  Thus, I have always tried my best to find deals on great quality products...translation= I am a huge shop-a-holic that justify my ways by saying the items are sale and I am getting a HUGE deal (and who could turn down a deal???).  Anyhow, as I am trying to get myself more educated about canine nutrition, I found that a lot of the "healthier" foods are quite expensive.  Determined to not compromise quality, I am on a quest to find dog treats/supplies/food at a discounted price.  I am going to chronicle my findings as we go along.  If you find deals for cheaper than this, please let me know!

1.  Raw Dog Food--Bea loves raw and eventually I will move her completely to raw, but for now, she does 3 days on and off.  As I was searching raw dog food sites, I felt that they were really expensive, plus, I would have to ship a lot of the foods.  However, there is one supermarket that is quite cheap in orange county.  It is called 

King Supermarket.

There, I was able to get raw beef bones (the bones had quite a bit of meat on them too) for $0.50/lb.  Plus, I was able to get a organs for $0.45/lb.  Super deal. 

2.  Marshall's--One day, I was shopping at Marshall's and lo and behold, they had a pet section.  I went to the clearance section and there was TONS of dogs treats for $1 or $2.  They weren't your regular cheapie treats either, I made sure either they were grain-free or was No Wheat, No corn, No soy.  Below are the treats I got (all for $1 or $2).  

Bea absolutely LOVED this dog chew.  She gave it 5 stars!

Bea really liked this treat, but not as much as the chew.

Bea did not enjoy this treat ate all....I had to coax her to eat it.  

Made with real, roasted rabbit meat, Bea absolutely loved this treat, nom nom nom...this one was actually a splurge of $3.  

Bea liked this treat too.  I used this treat to teach her to lie down.  Besides sit, this has been the only other command she knows really well.  Sigh, she is really stubborn.
