I buy 5 pound bags of Taste of the Wild at my local pet food shop. They cost about $12. I'm sure it's less elsewhere, but I really like this store, I can walk there with my dog, and my dog likes going too.
Plus, she's only 12 pounds, so the bag lasts about 6 weeks, so I'm not going to bargain shop to save $1 a month.

I also have Blue Buffalo. I got a 30-pound bag @ petflow.com at 20% off (new account discount), so it's about $44 with free shipping. It's my first time, so we'll see how it goes when I get my automatic shipment in a few weeks.
ETA: I've got a GSD that's about 90+ lbs. He eats 2+ cups a day of this dry food.

Wellness. It about 60.00 for a large bag. You can get coupons when you sign up for their monthly emails for a few dollars off. Or I am planning to use my first time buyer code from wag.com to get 20% and free shipping next time. We have used so many different kinds and this is what Max does best on. My old guy did great on Costco Natures Domaine and lots of the pets girls use it.
I buy Millenium - I think it has another name attached to it, but Millenium is the main brand. I buy it at our local food co-op. I believe right now it is $45-48 for a 30 lb bag - the price has changed a couple of times since we started using it, and it just went DOWN in price the last couple of times we bought it! 1 bag lasts around a month for my 2 55-65 lb dogs.
I used to feed them Iams until I realized we were spending more than 10x the amount of money we paid for their food on food for ourselves, and they are just as important as we are so I wanted to switch to the best food for them.

Oh, going to check this site out.
So far so good, but again; it's my first shipment, and it came w/in 2 days. I'll see how the 2nd shipment goes. The canned foods are a little bit more $ on their website, so I get them at the regular stores.
Prior to this, I did use PetSmart. Sometimes they'd have a couple of Blue Buffalo's on sale, so I just get the sale items.
We feed raw (not pre-made). A 25 day supply for two 75lb dogs (about 55-60lbs) runs about $50. We have mostly chicken with organs and a little veggie just for fun and flavor.

Nutro Natural Choice - ~$56ish for a 30 lb bag (one lasts about 5-6 weeks) Eukanuba Large Breed - ~$50 for a 35 lb bag (we go through one every 2 weeks, dog eats like 7-8 cups a day)
We buy both at either Petco or Petsmart and if we happen to drive by a local place, we'll go there too.

My fat ass pug only eats canned food.
It is like $2.25/can and he eats a can a day. he gets california naturals lamb and rice. He used to eat wellness simple solutions but they discontinued our formula and redid it with lamb and oatmeal, and fat puggie is allergic to oatmeal.
We spend $82 every 35 days. One 30lb. bag of Nutro ($35) and one 30lb. bag of Taste of the Wild ($47). (two 75lb dogs that are very active). They supplement themselves with woodland creatures. I don't know how the one catches squirrels but he does. We order from PetFlow.com as well. A few dollars cheaper than regular store prices (no tax!) and delivered to my door. So far we like them.
Chronoptimist - where do you buy your raw food? If I could feed them "real" food for the same price I pay for kibble, I would definitely make the switch! Right now, they get to pig out when we harvest a deer in the fall but nothing the rest of the year.
About $40 for a big bag of Grandma Mae's Country Naturals at a local pet store. After having (digestive) issues with Canidae, Merrick and Innova, we have been really happy with this brand and my dog loves it.

I used to buy whatever Blue was on sale, but my big dog has developed a sensitive stomach so I stick with what I know won't give him the shits....which is of course the kind that is never on sale. =)

LOL. My two supplement w/ lizards & frogs .... They've become professional lizard hunters -
We splurge on dog food. A large bag which I think is around 30 lbs costs us close to $70. The brand is Orijen and we can only get it at a local pet supply store (or online, but we just go to the store). It's just not sold at supermarkets or Petco or anything like that.
This but we buy Acana (which is by the same makers as Orijen). And we go through about 2 bags a month like another poster. Ugh.
