Buying food in bulk...

PeterMC · #1 03-09-2008, 12:55 PM

Does anyone know a good source to get bigger amounts of foods for cheap?

I'm after Algae wafers, Plec tablets, shrimp/bloodworm pellets that sort of thing..

Buying it at 50g a time just seems to be costing too much and lots of drama re-ordering..

If anyone could direct me to a cheap bulk seller Id' be very greatful

i get mine off e-bay mate.

I got to go out now, but if you need it, give me a shout later and i'll direct you to the e-bay seller's i use, but i dont knnow if they are the cheapest, all i know it's a damn sight cheaper than the LFS even if you factor in postage

Although i just found one seller that does free postage for orders over £30 and i will be using him next

Like the Master has said, eBay is your best bet. A quick search shows loads of people selling food in bulk.

Be careful when buying foods from ebay, make sure they are a reputable brand, stored correctly and within the use by date. If not they can be very harmful.

Hi,have a look at ZM,they sell most types of food at good prices and excellent service web site: zmsystems.co.uk.I buy all my dry foods from them.

yes ZM are a great place to buy food.

my fish go CRAZY for the decapsulated brine shrimp (these are the ones you do not hatch, but they are ready to feed). a little goes a long way.
