I believe someone wrote today that many of us buy supplies from PETCO.  I
surely do not.  I purchased a magazine there, and saved Chewy, who had
crusted runny eyes, fever, and hoarse breathing.  When PETCO first came
to our area, they had unbelievably low prices for about 2 years.  They
drove many small pet stores out of business.  Once they had destroyed their
competition, their prices soared.  Around here, they are WAY over priced.
 
I never make my purchases from a place that sells ferts unless it is to
feed the ferts at that store because they are not being cared for.  I used
to buy everything I could from Mary at F.A.I.R.  But she has a lot in
storage right now.
 
Is there a shelter near me that sells Ferrevite and Ferrebite?  If you have
fresh product, and it has a shelf life of a year- I would like a case of
both of these.
 
There is G.C.F.A. in Illinois, but they can almost never even manage to
get me my newsletter.  I get maybe 2 a year after numerous calls.  I
truly believe that it is just me since they tell me i paid for years of
membership and this doesn't show on their computer.  But I personally feel
upset by this repeated error year after year and would rather spend money
at a shelter that won't take my money and make me beg for a news letter.
 
Thanks.  I'm in Chicago area and realize this would have to be shipped.
Mary had good prices, so with shipping, I still came out a little ahead
on a case of stuff compared to a store, and Mary made some money.
 
I just assumed everyone on this list got most of their product from
shelters.  Was Mary the only one selling supplies?
