can you get your cat food bill down? we buy royal canin online and its cheaper

I doubt that many people on a tight budget feed their cats on Royal Canin, whether bought online or not!

Hi

Check out green or yellow split peas in Lidl for soups and curries (49p - half the proice of lentils).

Also their 20p spaghetti and the cheapest (49p?) tins of sardines. I think the penne is 29p at the moment.

Pasta bake - two portions pasta (120g), one sardine in oil and half a tin of passsata/tomatoes. Add some milk powder made up if you like to make a sloppy mix +herbs.

It may be worth checking out the concept of the Wonderbag/ and making one up. That allows you to cook things for 10 minutes and let the bag do the rest.

zennith - good luck with this. My DS is on a budget this tight or tighter now that he's dealing with his debts, and I'm really enjoying reading your thread for ideas for him. I just wish he'd come on here himself and meet all you lovely peeps for himself.

I'd not heard of the Wonderbag before - it's the same ideas as a haybox, I think, but much more compact. Definitely worth looking into as it doesn't look too hard to make, even with my rubbish sewing skills.

Thanks everyone for the continuing advice, tips and suggestions.

I get my benefit on the 20th so i know what to buy and do now.
