I really like Connie's write up, which should really apply to me since i have 4 snakes, but some of those costs are different for me*, so the conclusion (it's still cheaper to buy F/T from a .com) is not as clear for me.

*I can't get feeders locally that cheap and due to the size feeders I need, they are still more expensive from the .com (go go feeding a burm). Also I didn't see the inclusion of gas to drive to buy local feeders, but I may have missed that. =)

I do breed both mice and rats and I think I make out ahead, but I also really enjoy doing it, so bonus hobby activity. =)

My weekly feeding requirement is: 1 smallish rat, 1 med/large rat, 2/3 jumbo rats, 2 adult mice.

So what are your exact weekly requirements? =)
