Acceptable medium-price canned cat foods?

[juliacat]

Having eliminated Iams because it's manufactured in the same plant as Grreat Choice so why am I paying twice as much money

, I am okay with Friskies as long as I can find the flavors that don't contain nitrites. I will probably also rotate in some Nutro Max, and I may look into obtaining some of the big cans of the Innova lower fat, which Petsmart seems to have stopped carrying.

Anyone else feed their cat canned food at less than 19 cents per ounce?

Just be careful when comparing price per ounce.  If the foods are very similar that might be fine, but among the wider range of foods the amount of calories per ounce can vary a lot.  So you may want to compare prices by calories as in the end the critical number in figuring out how much to feed is calories not ounces.  Maybe in most cases among the likely food candidates it won't make a difference in whether you would or wouldn't choose a given food, but I thought it was worth noting.

True; good point!
