Money Matters


The current economic times are tough; more so with six dogs. One of the highest recurring expenses we have is the monthly flea and tic treatment. We use Frontline Plus and have been buying it from our vet. While our vet does have a good competitive price I spent last night comparing prices on the internet.

I chose to look at one product, Frontline Plus Blue (23-44 pound), 3 month supply. I would have thought the prices for the exact same product would be very close. In fact the price ranged from $22.99 to $53.99.

The $22.99 price as of today is from: Thriftyvet.com. Shipping to my house in CT is $4.00. A very close second is $25.00 from: Vetmedsforpets.com. Shipping for orders over $40.00 is free making this actually cheaper.

Over 30 on-line sites were searched. Don't just go to the first ones that pop up on your search and don't believe it when it says, Cheapest or Best price. There are likely better if you look.

Check back for more price checks.
