The cheapest grain-free I've seen and am currently feeding is Authority Grain Free. Available from Petsmart at a little over a dollar a pound. (15 lbs for I think $17.99 or $18.99, can't remember.) The down side is it only comes in baby bags and 15 lb bags, but the rumor is that in March they are coming out with the larger bags. I've been happy with it.

I still feed my dogs TOTW. They do really well on it, I haven't had any issues with it at all. Their coats are always smooth and shiny. Once a week I even give them each a can of TOTW can food as a treat. They love it. Where I'm at it's about $50 for a 30lb bag, so not to bad.I usually go through about 2 bags a month. Orijen is the best but it's over $80 for their largest bag.

check out Dog and Cat Food, Treats, and Supplies | Free Shipping at Chewy.com i think they have TotW cheaper than that. also Acana is made bby Champion who makes Orijen too, and its like $60 on there too.
on a side note, feed prices must be cheap near me compared to everyone else. i paid $37 for TotW and am paying $55 for Acana

Hmmm. I ordered Wild Prairie and never had a problem. It might be just a supply issue, Acana had a fire in their facility about a month ago and instead of sacraficing quality to keep up with demand, they decided to just cut back on their output until till they get everything fixed. Shouldn't be much longer now.
As far as retail stores... no. I have yet to find a big chain that carries it. I'm in CA and have found it at Incredible Pets, Western Feed and Pet Supply and River Valley Feed can order it. But I would think u'd have better luck at feed store.
