Logan: If you read my last post, you will that there really isn't any foods out there more expensive then another.
Basically it states over a period of 3 months you wind up spending just about the same for the better and higher quality foods if not slightly less or slightly more in the long run.
So in my opinion, if you understand what I said, then a statment about financial situation against food, really doesn't hold any weight at all.

I know not every food will work the same for every animal.
And yes there are animals who will live long "healthy" lives on things like Frisky's, but on average, your animal will live a LONGER and HEALTHIER life on a better food.

Believe me, I have spent years feeding all sorts of food, trying to save money, trying to find the best for my buck, and I don't even have a lot of money right now, but I've finally figured out I'm not really spending any or much extra money at all by buying the better food. For those of you whom are feeding a low grade food because it's all you can afford, find another brand you would REALLY like to be able to feed, but you think you can't afford. And do my little evaluation example I showed you over a period of 3 months, and you might just be surprised to find your not spending any extra to get the better food.
