Most dry fish food has a good shelflife. Just close the packet when you've finished feeding the fish, store it in a dry place and this will keep everything fresh and stop it going off. There are a couple of fish shops in my area, I tend to use both of them. I buy virtually all of my fish food locally. I don't buy in bulk unless it's frozen stuff like blood worm

A good way to save money is to alternate between cichlid pellets and koi pellets. Pond fish food is a lot cheaper than cichlid pellets. Feeding oscar just pond pellets is not a good idea so that is why alternating is a good idea
