It costs me 30-35 dollars a month to feed canned and he's still a kitten, technically. He always seems hungry, but doesn't gain any weight (I have a feeling he's going to be a big kitty!).
I'm spending about half of that for raw and he's still eating quite a bit more raw than recommended for his body weight (about 9 lbs), but he's still not gaining extra weight!
I've been going for sales lately. If you have asian market near by, check them out, they tend to sell every part of the animal. I can get about 2 lbs or more of just chicken gizzards for $1-2. Mine also has tripe and necks from different animals.
I can also buy small whole fish from there, too, but I've stopped feeding him fish very often, I don't think he likes it much and I've heard it's not necessary in their diet.
