The food was actually on sale for like $38ish each for once - never seen it discounted before. $20 off and then 10% off the remainder for store pickup. Amazing deal!
One popular cashback site offers 5%.
The best cat food on the deal is Wellness Core Digestive Health turkey or chicken. Rated a 9 out of 10 on CatFoodDB.
Which site is that?
My breeder recommends Purina dog chow. She gets sores in her mouth occasionally but nothing major. Recommend!
But, for me, my cats are all strays I took in, and I try to find a balance between a decent quality food and price. Decent enough that the food itself is not likely to cause health problems. For me, this includes that the company is big enough to be able to invest in quality control and nutrition, so I have tended to stick with Iams and Science Diet. Purina (One and Pro Plan) aren't bad options, either (several vets over time have agreed). Royal Canin isn't bad, either, but there have rarely been deals (going back 15+ years) that bring the price down enough for me to choose Royal Canin.
Science Diet is the best of the 3 - and it posts more complete nutritional info for its foods on its website, including more precise phosphorus content. I switch to Science Diet options with lower phosphorus as cats get older, due to the higher risk of kidney disease in cats.
Prices, especially on Science Diet cans, have gotten ridiculous lately, though - although that's across the board for all foods.
Prices now are high enough that it's relatively cheap to occasionally cook up a little ground beef or chicken and give that to them - I do this instead of buying 'treats'. (Treats are about the least healthy thing you can give to your cats). I wouldn't feed this as a high percentage of their diet because they need the nutrients that are added.
A little cooked meat, without anything added - no salt, no seasonings, absolutely no onion or garlic - makes a great treat. You can freeze the cooked meat in a plastic bag and then take small amounts out to thaw and feed your cats. Spread the meat out in a thinner layer when you put it in the freezer, and it's easier to break off small amounts.

Cats and dogs are not cows. Or pigs. But the vast majority of grocery store food is full of corn.
Whenever I see someone buying this, I'm wondering if he's visiting Clark W. Griswold in his ArrVeee:

One persons opinion on dog foods, seems somewhat useful.
You chose your sources out of confirmation bias - it confirms what you already believe and want to be true. That doesn't make those opinions true.
Investigate the scientific process, and how scientists exhibit skepticism.
This is an endless argument in these threads so this is my last reply on this topic to you.
You can if you are so inclined make your own food for your pets - there are good recipes out there from veterinary schools. But if you do that, take care to pay attention to the added nutrients needed and be careful adding precise amounts. It's a lot of work. As much as I care about my cats, I'm not going to do it. I've taken them in off the street, so they're living a much better life than they would have. There's a balance - if you spend more money on very expensive foods for which there's no objective scientific evidence showing they're better for the average cat, then you can do far less for other strays. And you get a lot more bang for your buck by helping another stray than you get by feeding a cat a very expensive food with unsubstantiated claims. But do what works for you. The rest of us have real life constraints, and I personally am not convinced by your experts. You think it's ok to shame people because they don't feed the foods you like .... should I shame you for not spending your money differently and helping more cats?

Kudos for taking in some strays. However, being misguided should not be a point for pride when it comes to nutrition.
People can pay very close to the price of grocery store brands with a little shopping and buy better-than-average foods instead. Chewy's American Journey, for example.
