Im not sure if this has been discussed before or not. But I did the math on the food prices, and here's what they are:
28(Bowl) 63L$ 2.25L$/nibble
112(Basket) 225L$ 2.01L$/nibble
672(Buffet) 1200L$ 1.79L$/nibble
896(Feast) 1600L$ 1.79L$/nibble
I assume the discount is just the standard bulk discount that many companies use, thats cool. I love saving money where I can so I've been buying the Feasts and allowing all the Roos to come to it. That however is mighty annoying because I end up with all my Roos stacked on top of each other when dinner time coincides with nap time. I would also like to have my pairs stay close together instead of wandering around looking for numnums. I would prefer to have 1 bowl per home, but with over 20 homes, the lack of a discount on the small bowls adds up. If I could afford it, I'd just buy 20 buffets, but if I had that much lying around at one time, Id buy an Azure pair :P
Anyways, to my suggestion. Perhaps there would be a way to get a bowl that remains in place, can hold all 3 types of food, could have it's food limit(s) set by the owner, and is refilled by a dispenser of some sort. This dispensers could be sold in the amounts listed above, but the 896 nibbles we purchase could be split among however many bowls need refilling. This would also save time because we wouldn't have to buy the food, open the boxes to get food out, delete the multiple folders added from opening the boxes, and then having to place the bowls, only to have to repeat again and again.
If that's not feasible then perhaps you guys could package up lots of 10 or 20 of the smaller bowls and sell at the discounted price.
Thanks for reading :)
