Another Tesco Massive Price Increase

  • You do know what cats eat naturally?

    Only branded mice and birds, of course. And some premium grass from time to time, for digestion. But never no discount mice, value birds or basic grass.

    Seriously, if you wean your moggy to certain flavours, you create the spoilt creature yourself.
    (They say it works with humans, too. And it does.)

    That's a lovely sentiment and all, but doesn't work for those of us who may have rescued a shelter cat who already had well-established taste buds. We adopted an old (10+) cat who was very skinny, so to try and feed her food she won't eat would be very bad indeed. Instead of racking up massive £££ vet bills, we buy Whiskas instead - so everyone's happy.

    Sorry, this is getting off-topic now!

    Tesco have just announced their smallest Christmas sales increase since the early 90s. This will undoubtedly affect their share price. :)

    I've never bothered before, but now I'm going to start carrying around a notebook with the prices/locations of the things I buy most in it. The prices are changing upwards so fast that there are too many to carry in my head. We are feeding 4+ feral cats and the cat food increase from £7 odd to £9 odd in Asda for 24 tins has bust my budget.
    I bought some cat biscuits for £1 a kilo in Poundland and amazingly my fussy house cat is eating them. Wilkinsons have Go cat at 38p a tin and fussy cat will eat that although his previous owners fed him on pricey sachets.
    I console myself by saying " it's not as bad as Zimbabwe, yet".
