Ok, I had to go dig out a box, a cup of Embark weighs 2.8 ounces, when I was figuring things when I was deciding to switch one cup of TOTW kibble weighed 4.5 ounces.
You cannot compare foods just by the number of cups. Weight matters.
Now will you stop trying to compare apples and oranges??
I need to stop trying to argue when I should be in bed, my brain stops working and I do stupid things like forget to clear a tare on my scale before weighing the new items.
What I should have asked you last night was to go weigh a cup of the AP. Since I don't have it myself I had to rely on the internet, and according to here one cup of AP = 250ml, now 30ml = 1ounce, so 1 cup of AP = 8.33 ounces. That means you're getting 57 cups out of one 29.7lb bag, and since you feed 4.5 cups a day thats 12.6 days of food in a bag, or not quite two weeks. Does that match what you're doing?
To compare to THK (dry) 1 cup = 4 ounces, which means 40 cups in a box. If you feed 5cups that gives you 8 days of food.
You said you're paying $63 per bag? (for the sake of easy math I'm rounding down to 12 days in a bag of AP) so for 24 days you're paying $126. For 24 days of THK at $80 a box is $240. Double, not triple. So yes, in your case THK would not be comparable (by price) to what you're feeding, but neither is it triple what you're doing now.
