Let me know when you find one. The last time I looked I would need to order from 2-3 different vendors to complete the list that consist of PE Mysis, Angel & Butterfly Diet, 2lbs SW Multipack and couple of other items.

It's $25 for unlimited amount, but the food is 1/2 price of what it is at the lfs...I made shipping up on a 16oz flat pack of pe mysis that is $26 at dfs---it's $50 at the lfs. I got about $200 worth of lfs food for about $75 shipping and all. It was frozen solid too upon arrival and I got home late.

I'm in Central Jersey. I buy online twice a year with each time around $150 and that's usually 1/2 the price of the lfs minus the $25 shipping each.
DFS has the best packing & shipping with overnight where others usually 2nd Day.

got my last batch from DFS still have the ice packs in my freezer, i am about to make another purchase soon. has been about 8 months since last purchase. buying bulk saves a ton of money even with shipping, as well as getting a good variety.

PE mysis and Rod's Food FTW. They ship with dry ice so if your paying $25 for shipping order in bulk. You won't be disappointed if you feed with these products

I've had a bunch of frozen sitting in the drsfostersmith cart since end of January and about to place the order this weekend. Glad I waited because I received their email today with 25% off on aquarium food. Didn't save actual 25% since all were discounted some with the 6 mix and match but was still cheaper with the coupon.
Example:
Angel & Butterfly Diet
Standard price: $3.99
6 Mix & Match: $3.59
25% off: $2.99

I just checked it out... They have some neat stuff which my LFS dont have (hikari mega marine, angel&butterfly, etc) but are lacking on some basics like marine cuisine and emerald entree. I also dont like the selection of mysis (PE too big, hikari is mostly water, san fran are mini cubes, and ocean nutrition is backordered). I'll probably make an order this weekend though, still found $30 worth of foods I wanted.
While we're on the topic, does anyone like ocean nutrition foods? I tried their cubes a while ago and hated them, they need to physically be broken up as defrosting alone wont do it, and its mostly blender mush I could make myself anyway, with a lot of small waste particles and a few particles too big.

Not realizing ON was gel based I bought a bunch and been sitting in the freezer as the fish doesn't go for them. Recently I started mixing them in with shrimps, scallops and squibs in the blender. The problem I'm noticing is that the skimmer is working overtime.
As with the selection...that's what I was getting at on the above post of having to buy from multiple vendors to get all the ones I wanted. But as for shipping goes the good doctor has the best packing/shipping. I think I saved about $20 with the coupon which about almost covered the shipping.

I was wondering why they shipped in two boxes when I received the tracking email. After opening the boxes yesterday they packed each box with 30 ice packs. I don't think any places will ship 20 packs of Angel & Butterfly Diet with 30 ice packs inside. And the other box had 21 packs of food.

20 packs of angel and butterfly?! wow

Yep, twice a year. This is the only source of sponge I can give them. It would be cheaper to go with Hikari Mega-Marine Angel but my fish seems to prefer Angel & Butteryfly. Got to go with what they like.
The coupon is best to use with the PE Mysis but it's still more than the last time ($19.xx each when buying 6).

Dangit flameangel, I just went to place my order and it said:
We apologize but the following item is no longer available and will be removed from your cart: Angel and Butterfly Diet.
lol I blame you!

The reason I didn't order back in January was because it was 'Backordered' till 2/4. I'm sure many people waited also. The coupon is good for this month. 
Mega-Marine Angel is cheaper ($2.59) if your fish eats it.

I've never tried either so I'm planning on ordering both.
