Blue Devil, Yes they are cheaper in the long run. My BD is a bit picky when it comes to size. He will eat only 2-3 mediums at 1 sitting and then eat 1-2 more smaller ones. The meat on roaches in my opinion from observation is about 2-3 times that of the equivalent sized cricket. You have to really pay attention to what your BD likes and can handle in size so you don't over buy too large of roaches. I bought 200 mediums at the beginning of the month and with all his other live food (Silkworms and Phoenix Worms) plus his veggies, he has only knocked off about 50 of them, so I'm happy. I usually spend about $50 a month for Aries food since he is only 14 weeks old (today).
If you buy in bulk, it is way easier. And if you need help building a storage bin, hit me up and I will show you how on here with pictures. We are all here to help each other out. When I was doing crickets, I was buying 500 per month at 1 time and they only cost me $20. $7 for 50 is very steep price and I'm afraid you are getting ripped off. I ordered mine online. Don't go to Fluker's Cricket Farm! They are diseased, miscounts, incorrect size... you name it, I have had a problem with them. Anyhow, I hope this helps.
