You can buy a 5lb bucket of New Life spectrum pellets for $50. That will last the typical 125 gallon tank for god knows how long but I would bet longer than a year and a half. And yes it will stay good for that long. Say it lasts 20 months it comes out to be $2.50/month. And I am probably underestimating here.

When you're looking for other foods you'll find you can get a lot of them cheaper then $10 per pound but you usually get what you pay for. I would say look at the ingredients because they need to be listed by weight. That means the first ingredient is the most abundant in the formula and so on down the line. Don't be fooled by Omega One's ingredient list though, all those fish at the beginning are just 'fish meal' stretched into something that looks nice for the consumer.
