I am always looking for ways to save money. Or make it for that matter.
I have mentioned how much I like Big Crumbs in other discussions before but this
is a great deal for any of you who find it so expensive to get everything your pets need.
For instance FRONTLINE. I have 5 dogs and 15 cats in my house. And then we got a flea problem.. I tried the "cheap stuff" It wasn't working. In fact last year the cheap flea meds caused one of my kittens to suffer neurological damage. But that's another story.
So my vet tells me it's $40 for just a 3 month supply of Frontline for cats from them.
I would need 5 of them ($200)just to treat the cats for one month. And of course with 4 big dogs and one tiny one. I would need a lot of meds for the dogs in different sizes.
But I'm getting desperate! So I look on eBay I find some for the dogs -it says for 6 months $50. That seems pretty cheap. It is actually a kit (the new thing) They send you Frontline for extra large dogs and a glass vial and a syringe and the instruction on how much to measure for your size dog OR CAT.
SO I GO THROUGH BIG CRUMBS FIRST. I always click thru BC before I purchase at ebay because I get cash back (FREE) and it goes back to my paypal account.
Well I finish my transaction $50.97 for what is 4 packets of extra large dog FRONTLINE. And then I get a message from the seller PICCARD Auctions and MYSTORE REWARDS program that is I sign up with them for FREE also I will get another 2 % back paid to my paypal.. What the heck -i tried it.
What I end up getting was enough FRONTLINE to treat all 5 dogs (2 pkg for extra large dogs covered all of mine)
AND enough to treat ALL 15 of my cats. the other 2 extra large pkgs are enough for 16 doses.
All for $50.97 -free shipping. -$2.26 the amount Big Crumbs paid me back. And -$1.02 the amount the seller/MyStore rewards paid me back. So for $7.00 more than the vet was going to charge me to treat 3 cats for a month I was able to treat all 20 animals and have an extra dose left over!
NOW THAT'S A DEAL! And I still swear by Big Crumbs- for those of you who haven't signed up.. it's awesome.. It's Free (there's a banner on my page) They pay you for your shopping and for your referrals shopping. I get paid by them every month whether I shop or not.
If you got pets, check out these sites first. Don't throw away money! Fantastic!

I've been doing that for years. My vet sells me large dog frontline, gives me a syringe and needle for getting it out and tells me how much to put on each animal. I save a lot of money.

Yea, I never heard of this.. but tons of people are making money on ebay doing this.
I just loved the idea of it already being ebay cheap and then I save another $3+ on top of it.. and shipping was free. heck it would have cost me a few dollars to go back and forth to my vet. :-)

I would worry about buying medicine on Ebay. You don't know if the stuff was kept at the right temperature or what the expiration date is. I buy mine at adoption day, at the vet or at a pet shop in town.

Sounds like a good deal you've made there.
I've heard, though, that the Frontline formulas for cats and dogs is different, that the fleas cats get bothered by are different from the ones dogs get... This could just be crazy talk, though. The person I heard it from is a little out there at times.

That's what I thought.
I intend to check out Big Crumbs, btw.

Very Cool. I love this place. They have over 900 retailers that work with them now- offering deals and (varied) percentages cash back.
I mainly use it at ebay, Tigerdirect(where I get all my electronics), and this site called 4inkjets! where I have been getting incredibly cheap printer ink.
Oh and even my phone which I got thru tracfone.. I got almost $8.00 back from my $80.00 phone. I was looking at it first in walmart.. And as cheap as they are.. (they were charging the same price) I would have never gotten 10% back from walmart!
Now I make sure to look at prices all over the internet and then use the stores and deals at bigcrumbs and see if can't get it cheaper. I even bought my refrigerator through Sears and got some money back for it through BC.

That is wonderful that you were able to save so much. Having one pet to buy for runs into a bit of money having more just makes it more for each one we have. I had 8 now just 3 to buy for. So I know it can run into a lot of money.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

The place where I work sells it even less expensive than that. With the promotion that's going on now you can get 7 doses for $70. I think this ends the end of September though, but even without we're selling it at 6 doses for $70. Stores will always sell it for more. The manufacturer wants you to buy it from your vet to support their business. Be careful that the stuff that you get online is genuine product and does not come with a "look alike" box that has French writing on it, haha! But yes, we do the same thing as well, give the syringe so that people can split the big dose among a few smaller animals.

That is in fact a great deal. I know that we have a flea problem at our house as well. We have two cats and two dogs and I really need to get some frontline for them. I never thought of doing the whole frontline through ebay idea, but I really like it. Thank you for the suggestion.

I don't need pet supplies now because my dog had no flea right now, he is the only dog in neighborhood and no cat want to near him. I can get my others supply from nearest pet shop and if buy online the shipping cost to expensive.
I want to buy vegetable seed online do bc give cash back too if I sign in.
