Lol, yes I wanted one big enough that I didn't have refill it everyday, and that I could see the levels from the window without having to go outside. Too cold out to build my own, so caved and spent $$ on it. I think it was like around $60, and then like @melinda010100 said, I can already see the food costs needing to re-order. It does give me some nice live practice subjects for the camera without having to go out in the cold though!
