Perhaps the cans would be cheaper if you purchased them online. Check out Chewy.com, Petsmart, and some others.
I agree with the poster above who said that better nutrition saves vet bills.
Cats do not do that great with just dry food. They may seem to do well for many years but they can develop diabetes on dry food since it is so high in carbs. Some wet with dry food seems to be fine. As for the barn cats, if they are catching and eating rodents, you could probably cut back on the canned food for them.
