It's expensive having pets. I'm always reminded of this when it's time to go buy their new food.
We have various grocery stores and they have various prices. The cat food seems like it took a spike in prices a year ago or so, whenever it was that everything went up. But it's cheapest at one particular place with the initials W--M----. One of the other stores, it's around 25 cents more for a 4 can pack. And one of the other stores, I don't know what it is there, but I know it's more.
The dog food price went up whenever that was a year or so ago. It was around $5.00 a box. Now it's in the $7.50 range and hasn't gone up or come down. It stays right at the same level, knock on wood.
Then there's the cat litter, which I needed to get tonight. That adds to the cost of keeping pets. It's all a fortune. But we love them (sort of) and wish them many more years of sucking us dry as far as our money goes. Yes, we love them.
