Lucky find

On his way back from a hunting expedition Dave stopped at one of the
stores where we find deals on stuff for the cats. He came back with
120 assorted cans of Friskies @ 30 cents, total $36. And the exp. date
isn't until sometime in 2012.

Normally this quantity would cost $48 from Walmart. Every little bit
of savings helps! Last time I was at the same store, I got 7 boxes of
clumping litter for $10 total.

Wow! Those are really good deals! What is the name of the store?

Do you have Aldi's stores there? Next time I'm in the city, I'm going
to
check out the cat food there. Fancy Feast is just becoming outrageous,
and Petsmart doesn't have sales as good as they used to.

I love finding good deals like this. Sometimes you have to spend a bunch
of money up front, but you save in the long run.

We have Aldi's. Their catfood, Fine Feline, isn't too bad. It's .30/
can also. Not as well liked by the cats here as Friskies, but they'll
eat it. We buy it by the case. Their litter is reasonable too,
especially if you don't have too many cats.

On the litter, they get containers that have been torn or cracked and
then taped up, and pack as many as will fit into a banana box, and
sell the whole box for $4.99. There's usually 3-4 bags/boxes/jugs of
litter in each box. Example: I got one box recently containing two
boxes of clumping Feline Pine, plus one bag of Yesterday's News. The
retail cost on these would have been around $27.

I'm always thankful to find these boxes of litter. They don't always
have them. Sometimes, I can get a 20# sack of Feline Pine pellets for
$2.95. That normally retails for about $10 all by itself.
