Considering Buying Buk Mice Online

I've only had my two corn babies for 4 days, but we are working on getting everything set up so they get the best we can give them. Although we can afford to buy the feeder mice at our local pet store we feel it would be more cost effective and convenient to have mice in the freezer for when we need them.
This weekend we are going to borrow a scale from a friend so we can weight the babies. What we wanted to ask, and I know this would vary snake by snake, is what amount of pinkies might be a good idea to purchase? I've done a few searches but I can't really find anything.
 
Yes buying bulk is more cost efficient. But for just 2 corns the shipping is what will get to you... unless you can go to an expo and buy. When vacuum froze mice can last up to a year fresh from my personal experiences. But just remember soon they will be eating fuzzies.
 
Unfortunately we just missed our local expo and it wont be back until August. Does anyone have an idea of what might be a good amount of pinkies and fuzzies?
 
If you are ordering from a place that allows you to do just a 50 count bag then I would order 50 pinks and 50 fuz. You can also pick up hoppers as well. Like stated if they are vacuumed sealed you can get a year or more out of the mice with hair. They say about 6 months or so on the pinks. When I order I try to order for 6 months to a year at a time that way I am saving money on shipping. You can also check and see if there is anyone local that would like to go in on an order with you. There are a few of us that do that here in AZ and it really helps being able to split the shipping.
 
I actually used the "cheaper to buy frozen feeders in bulk" as an argument for getting hubby to allow me to buy two more hatchlings (so I could justify ordering more at once). That was a few snakes ago ;)
