got feed today and still shocked at the price, horse and pony nuts, cheapest bag was £7.65 , speedi beet is £10 a bag

anyone else still paying silly amounts?

Our feed supplier wont leave me a price lis anymore as he said they go up each week. I just get him to deliver the cheapest nut/ mix each week! x

Prices are going up all the time :-( Luckily me and my friend have bulk bought and gone halves to try and save some cash. On average, in a year, prices have gone up by about £2.50-£3.00 per bag round our way - rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

I don't know, I daredn't look anymore!

I get my feed from Mole Valley Farmers and get their own brand, i find its the same as named feeds and costs much less, the bags are often bigger too.

To be honest I don't look at the price of the feed anymore. I need it so I buy it, can't do anything about it so there is no point moaning about it.

I pay 6.40 for Bailey's Economy Cubes (or Everyday High Fibre Cubes as they are now called).

Have just swapped from Baileys Economy Mix (think I was paying close to £7 for them) to Spillers Pegasus mix as it's £5.95 a bag and pegasus cubes are £4.99.

We have swapped from a branded competition mix to a plain (still branded) coarse mix, I have subbed in some alfa a for mine, and my sisters gets oats. I think it is working out cheaper, and as yet they don't seem to have changed particularly - not any more lazy/fizzy.

I think their feed doesn't impact hugely, as the majority of what they eat is grass anyway

local feed shop tends to only stock brand names so i cant really swap.

i dont have any problem paying for feed, just get a bit sick of it going up weekly.
