Not sure how long you've been ordering from petfooddirect.com...so this may be old news to ya... ;) But if you sign up for emails to be sent to you, they often contain coupons for up to 22% off your order! I usually wait to get a 20% or 22% off coupon as it usually just about covers shipping depending on how you play around with the weight! But like I said, you probably already knew that as I think the 20% come around about once a month! :)
