Buffy was on a medication that would have cost $350/month if I bought it at the vet's. His vet gave me a pet pharmacy in Arizona (DiamondBack Pharmacy) which made up pet meds themselves - the same med was $29.79/month including postage! I'll look for the address for you when I'm home.

I was always taught that if I got a BOGO, to set one aside for a food bank (we had to do that with clothes, too). But times have changed, and I see nothing wrong to keep a couple, but I still have a food bank shelf.
