I have a great Co Op near by, as I am in the Detroit area. I can get Venison at near dirt prices and many other foods. I would do more shopping at Whole Foods and other establishments, but I have a very chicken intolerant dog. We got a freezer juts for the dog food, but before that we were using ground mixes so we could store easily and feed raw - it cost more, but it made it possible to take them off the kibble!
