Do you really have to have a chest freezer in order for the BARF diet to be cheaper than kibble?

no, I feed BARF to 5 dogs and I do not have a chest freezer, we simpley pick up about 3 bags of bones at a time, 2 go in the freezer and one in the fridge to thaw



I can use about 50-75% of the freezer space in my freezer for their food but with 3 dogs I'm not sure if that will be sufficient.
Price isn't too much of a concern but it is a concern. If it will be quite a bit more money to feed the raw diet with having limited storage then I odn't think it would be possible.

there should not be a problem, as I said we feed BARF to 5 dogs with limlited storage and we are on social servases, and easily cheaper then kibble, some people insist it cant be done but we dont even struggle with this

OR does it matter if I feed a LOT of one type of meat for a while? I can buy one item in bulk at least to store in my freezer. I know chicken is the most common, so I could buy that in bulk, then just buy a little of something else for a couple meals a week (beef, fish etc..) and feed chicken for the rest of the meals for that week.

YES you can do this, we feed almost all chicken and pork ribletts, anything else is pretty much a treat because the butcher we got the other meats from moved the day of the week that they do the cutting to a day that my mom does not work so she cant just drop by on her way home from work anymore(the butcher is out of town) and anyone can tell you that my dogs are doing fabulous
