here is a thread for us to discuss cheap and inexpensive ways to raise pets. What tips do you have?
I'll start with one - I get a generic brand of cat food that is around ten dollars from my local ALCO. I am signed up online for ALCO specials and around once a week or every other week I get emailed a high-value printable coupon. These coupons are usually 20%, 25% or 30% off a single item.
When I get a 30% off one, I always run down and grab a new bag of cat food. I toss the food into a plastic garbage bucket with a tight fitting lid and use a scoop to get the cat food out.
Today one of those 30% off Qs came along. I printed one for me and one for DH, and we each ran to ALCO and bought a huge bag of cat food that only came to $7 each.
I'd rather get my pets expensive catfood, but with my frugal budget I have to be content with making sure they simply have plenty to eat.
What frugal pet owner tips do you have?
