How to Buy Dog Food at a Wholesale Club

Dog food is an expense that can be substantially decreased by buying in bulk. Buying dog food at a small chain or grocery store can get costly. Bigger dogs, especially, require a large amount of food, so consider purchasing it at a wholesale club that requires exclusive membership. Buying in bulk allows for a discounted price and less trips to the store.

Instructions

      Go to your local wholesale club and go to the customer service desk. Sign up for a membership, which will allow you to buy items inside the store. You may be given a coupon booklet to let you know which items currently qualify for coupon discounts.

      Grab a shopping cart or flatbed, as dog food bags are extremely large and heavy. Locate the pet section inside the store.

    • 3

      Search for your dog's usual food. Look for coupons for the brand you are buying to save even more on your bulk purchase.

    • 4

      Load the dog food into the cart or onto the flatbed. If help is needed, ask an employee. Some wholesale clubs offer a larger discount if more multiple units are purchased. Ask about these extra discounts.
