Pets

My cat likes to pick, he'll eat, go on an adventure, or take a nap. He prefers the dry but gets half a can every day.

When I get the Friskies cans at the Sparkle Market he eats it up eventually.
When I buy the same flavors from the Dollar General at a slightly lower price, I have to throw most of it away. He licks the gravy

I wonder if the company sells a lower grade mix to discount stores to realize a profit for stores that demand a discount?
