The small bag is normally about $7, the medium bag about $12, and the big bag about $20. I usually have several medium bags on hand, bought for $10 or less with coupons.<\/p>\n<p>In Dawson, the small bag sells for $15!!! To my horror, I actually heard myself say out loud in front of staff &#8220;It&#8217;s no wonder I stock up in Whitehorse!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is obviously a necessary product; letting your cat starve is not an option! So, I have to wonder if that&#8217;s why the price is jacked up so high.
