Having as many dogs as I do, there is no way I can afford to buy them toys, treats, etc. from expensive pet stores.
Most grocery stores either have or will get beef leg bones for you, and cut them if you wish. I pay $4 for one leg bone, cut in nine pieces. My dogs chew on these forever.
I buy stuffed animals at yard sales for a dime or a quarter. Yes, they destroy them quickly and I have to pick up the stuffing. But they have fun, and it costs a dime.
I buy treats at Walmart, I buy dog food at Costco. The Kirkland brand of dog food is rated as high as the super premium brands which sell for $80 plus dollars a bag. Kirkland costs $25 for 40 pounds.
I also buy coupons for food and treats on ebay. I just saved $100 on food and treats, with coupons I bought for 95 cents. Greenies are about 1/4 the price on ebay as they are at the pet store.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
