What I'm seeing so far is a 60% discount on one item, even if that discount exceeds $20. But then increasing qty to 2 or more saturates the discount at $20.

All the while, the product pages only mention a 40% (and 35%) discount with terms stating a $20 max discount.

Edit: It's a game. You've gotta experiment. Some items and quantities trigger the $20 limit earlier than others.

Edit: I snagged three bags of Blue Buffalo Tastefuls dry cat food (1 Weight Control, 2 Multi Cat) in one order with the full 60% discount. Sweet! Nice glitch. Thanks, OP!

Edit: FWIW, if it ends up mattering, I used a Chrome desktop browser, no VPN, not incognito.

Quote from xemods :
This is a great deal but is this food actually good for my cat/dog? It advertises itself as "natural" but reviews and comments online seem to be at odds with its nutritional value.

"Natural" actually means nothing in advertised cat & dog foods.

The higher quality Blue Wilderness cat food is great but 1 of my 3 cats won't eat that wet food but will eat their cheaper Tastefuls line (kind of crappy, but way better than Friskies) so I did one 12 lb bag of Wilderness & a bunch of cans for a total cost $55ish with free delivery.

This sale is a great deal for decent cat food cans of which there is generally a dearth of deals. The worst quality can of food is better for your cats' kidneys than the best dry food so please feed your cats lots of canned food.

Their dog food lines are good mid level food.

A few years ago they added grain to their Wilderness line but are slowly removing it now from some Blue Wilderness dry dog food flavors.

Took some finesse to max the discount and if you add other items it messes with it. But snagged 2 15lbs cat food bags and a case of wet food for around what I spend on a single 7lb bag of that. Really a great deal. Thanks for sharing!

Embarrassment
Quote from BillyIn4C :
What the heck?! I used this sale a couple days ago to get two 30 pound bags of dog food for just over $50 with free shipping. Today I was able to get two more 30 pound bags of dog food plus two bags of treats for $49 with free shipping. I'm all set for the next year! Thank you!!!

Their website is a pain in the ass to navigate. If they don't fix it they're gonna make the same mistake as Bed Bath and Beyond.
Wow thanks for mentioning this! I was able to put in a second order with the new discount as well. Actually had to buy a more expensive type this time because the coupon took me below $50 so shipping wasn't free anymore Big Grin

Thanks, OP! I'm praying it ships. It worked for me but had to fiddle with it numerous times. You do one subscribe and save when adding to cart, and then increase the amount in the cart by one. Find the 'right' number it caps at, if you add more than that number, it'll increase to the normal price. (Mine was 11.) It brought my total of $159.39 down to $53.83.
Bought 11, they shipped 3. Not so good of a deal now.

blue buffalo has had many recalls and has proven to give dogs early heart failure

I just ordered a bunch of Nulo for my pups will never buy pedigree, purina pro plan or blue buffalo a popular brand at sams club. It is garbage! and bad for dogs.
If you care less about your untrained pup or dog then get this and prepare for vet bills

That's why I bought a couple bags of treats. It got the price up to free shipping.

Now I just need to figure out where I can store 120 pounds of dog food.

Thanks OP! My boy just started using wet dog food, so giving this a try. After messing with the order, got it to work by experimenting with how many I could add. TIP: When it stops giving you the 69percent discount, lower the quantity to your original, then add quanaties up to before it changes the price to only the 35%. Got a bunch of wet dog food that was 143$ for 44$!

They pulled something similar with me. Ordered 12 cans via standard shipping and then got an email saying that 2 were shipped via doordash from the local store.

But the order history suggested the whole thing was shipped. Hrmmm.

An hour later, I got a second email saying 10 cans were shipped also via doordash.

The totals from these two separate orders is more than the total of the regular order.

We'll see what happens once the dust clears......

20% back on a certain site makes it an even better deal today.

FDA cites Blue Buffalo and 15 other brands that might be linked to dog heart failure. Wilton-based Blue Buffalo Pet Products Inc. is one of 16 dog food brands cited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as being a probable contributing cause of canine congestive heart failure.

I just took a look at that FDA report, please correct me if I'm wrong... The report states that in over a 5 year period, 560 dogs were affected resulting in 119 deaths. 31 of the dogs affected ate Blue Buffalo brand food. It also notes "some reports named multiple brands." So there is no way to be sure which food in the dog's diet, if any, might have caused them to become affected.

31 dogs affected in a span of over 5 years that might have eaten Blue Buffalo and possibly other brands? Unless I'm reading something wrong, I think my dogs will most likely be fine. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

You can look at the FDA report and nick pick it to death, its true and they had many recalls.

The facts are clear online and recommendations from Vets and knowledgeable employees at pet smart will tell you to stay far away from these foods if you are concerned pet owner about your dogs health.

-Blue Buffalo has proven to cause early heart failure
-Blue Buffalo has had many recalls
-Blue Buffalo uses fillers baked into the dry dog food which causes cancers , diseases , skin conditions etc etc etc.

If you dont care about your dog then get this crap which is like McDonald's for dogs. Go watch the movie "Super Size Me" and see what happens to humans after eating only mcdonalds for a month
Poor protein , no real nutritional value.

Go look up Nulo or Solid Gold brand. I ended up buying Nulo on this sale . Purina Gold pro or whatever its called is crap food . My two Australian pups have way more energy. I started my 8 week old pups on pedigree dry food, and they always pooped brown or had diarrhea. The stuff below has not had one recall and provides true protein and proper gut health

Blue buffalo is a walmart brand/sams club sold dog food.
The food below are not found at walmart /samsclub but petsmart only. Also your dogs will develop all sorts of issues if put on bad dry dog food with baked in fillers.
