Zookeeper Bargains to Keep Brookfield Zoo Fed
Dewey Garvey, commissary manager at Brookfield Zoo, says high food costs push frugal shopping to feed about 2,000 animals. Horse meat up to 66 cents per pound, daily 300 pounds for meat eaters, and large buys of produce and cereals mark a 20 percent budget rise from 150000 to 180000 annually. Garvey buys closer to home and from nationwide markets to curb costs as prices surge 35 to 50 percent.
