food cost per day

i'm doing an experiment feeding Marley raw food. right now i buy Wellness ocean formula dog food (i switch between ocean and chicken). If i recall, it costs close to $59 per 26lb bag. I usually have a coupon which brings it down. I feed him .232 lbs per day which yields between 44-53cents a day depending if I get the dog food on sale. I've never weighed the actual amount of kibble either, so i'm sure there is some measuring variation.

Right now my price goal is getting food at under a dollar a lb, which yields 50cents a day because I feed him .5lbs per day. Per the guidelines you should feed your dog 2-3% of ideal body weight. this comes out to .5 lbs.

He is so much happier with raw it's not even funny. I was a little hesitant on feeding him bones but damn does he munch through those things like no other. he's also very protective. apparently this is innate behavior. So far he's cleared out all the frost bitten meat :) I don't feel like getting into all the raw food stories like what his poop looks like or how he ran around the living room with a fat piece of drumstick in his mouth because he thought i was going to take it from him. More later :)
