Does anybody know of the best place or maybe a Asda vs ??? Shop to get cheap cat biscuits. We have wild cats at work and my dad feeds them the biscuits. Has done for 20 years.
He buys quite a lot at a time and stores it his house. Unfortunately last night his dogs escaped and ploughed through the lot, they ate the bags too! As you can imagine they are not very well at the moment!
He says he usually buys then from sainsburys, however he just phoned to say they've run out... I said I'd sort it.
Thank you

Sorry if someone has already said this, as I haven't been able to catch up, but I would approach a local rescue charity and see if they can help with some cat biscuits? I know my local one will always help individuals who are looking out for stray/ feral animals.
They might also be able to help by trapping & spaying/ neutering the cats then releasing them back once recovered? This will stop numbers increasing, and a stable colony can they be fed by a kind soul like your dad?

If you click on this list of rescues, you can scroll down to select your dad's county: http://www.veggies.org.uk/acd/europe/uk/rescue/rescue.htm

or click on the right of this page to select "north, middle or south" http://www.animalrescuers.co.uk/

Sad to say it, but you often find the little independent rescue groups more heloful than the bigger charities? But its worth trying a few different charities if the first one can't help?

Good luck & well done you and tell your dad well done for being so caring too? I hope the naughty dogs are ok too? x

I got 1 of the trampolines £20 and a cordless lawnmower the other day for £50 should of bn £380? A couple of bits I have picked up for eBay but they should cover the cost of the couple of things bought for us hopefully.

Oh well done! I'd have loved to have found a trampoline. Ive had to patch DS2 one up tonight, replace the springs with old ones Ive kept. The springs keep popping out I wish I could remember what make that trampoline was so I don't inadvertently buy another one :rotfl: Ive patched it up and replaced so many bits it's now de-branded :rotfl::rotfl:

Forgive me Nerfy, but I saw this and thought of you :rotfl:

That womble with the Sure deo. has prompted me to go and look at msm, and I'm glad I'm getting my facts right first on this:rotfl::o.

You may recall I had the (Men's) Xtra Cool return N/A on an earlier womble.

Yesterday I found very few Men's in M but lots of Sure Women's deodorants (all at £1.44). On the men's deos, though, this seems to be what msm reflects. It looks like the Xtra Cool in M turns out to be a different size (I can check that later - fwiw - as I saw that in one of my own Ms). The N/A on it therefore may have been correct and I'm a misinformer (apologies!).

I had only three - Active, Quantum and Invisible - of the Men's 250ml in M Wrexham yesterday (supposedly, as I keep saying:o, an APG price collection store).

We got one from Freecycle a while ago - they always seem to come up on there. I bought new padding and nets from Amazon and it is as good as new .

... That said, it cost me more than £20 for nets and padding so I would be looking in B&Q if I were you!

Savers Tomato Soup picked up, but no Savers Chicken Soup:( - I'm quite sure all three (that is these two and Vegetable) were in the store yesterday!

(So, too, were the Heinz 4 pack soups - although no Crosse & Blackwell (£1.49 in one M)) - so, fwiw, I think the Heinz soups would have worked a number of weeks back vs Morries £1.69 price when it had that on - but sadly it is now £3.39:eek:. Crosse & Blackwell, you may remember I tried a few weeks back and it returned N/A, but I thought that was going to be risky.)

1 x ASDA Smartprice Tomato Soup (400g)£0.24£0.24
1 x ASDA Smartprice Cream of Chicken Soup (400g)£0.24N/A
1 x Nestle Munch Bunch Fromage Frais - Apricot Raspber...£0.50£1.59:eek:

They're correct about the price on the Fromage Frais in M I'm afraid.

Vs T
1 x ASDA Smartprice Tomato Soup (400g)£0.24£0.25
1 x ASDA Smartprice Cream of Chicken Soup (400g)£0.24£0.25

Vs S
1 x ASDA Smartprice Tomato Soup (400g)£0.24£0.30:eek:
1 x ASDA Smartprice Cream of Chicken Soup (400g)£0.24£0.30:eek:

I lost a few pence on those soups too over recent shops as I have tended to use them as fillers .

Well all the menfolk (ones that stay here plus a couple of visitors) have gone fishing tonight *sigh* they haven't come home yet. I don't phone or text because I'm mithering if I do......but it's past 11.30 and I'm entitled to mither I think? So I did phone :rotfl: straight to voicemail so they're obviously somewhere with no signal?
*Bigger Sigh* I'm not at the stage of getting in the car and going looking yet! but it does shred my nerves then when they all roll in jolly and cheerful I will hide my utter grumpiness that no-one bothered to think I might be worried

I'm getting there - slowly. I now have only Plums, Oxo Cubes and Luncheon Meat/Chicken Roll to deal with.;):rotfl:

First, another apology from myself. I mixed up on the Beef Oxo Cubes, the 12 pack version of which was/is comparing correctly to M at £1.19 (and now on 2 for £2 btw - although 24 pack is cheaper, in A, at 2 for £3 and possible T/S vs A) - this is all on normal prices and not any reduced price ones you may have found elsewhere! Probably would have done as you're better than I am on these things!

The Oxo Beef Cubes at 85p in M turn out to be only a 6 pack:( of cubes. The issue was because there was no stock of those in my normal M stores, but SELs were there and the 12 pack had been put in about the same area. I therefore thought it was the 12 pack on offer. I notice my list from the start had it as 6 pack, correctly, although for a 6 pack that price is pretty dear so should never have made it to the list:eek: but when I saw the wombles comparing 12 pack to £1.19 I thought they were in error and that the Oxo price was store specific in M when in fact it was not.

The 85p cubes were there, with SEL, in the Wrexham M store. This got me examining them, and when I took a pack from the shelf, it was immediately so tiny it was obvious that it was just a 6 pack. So, me:eek:, potentially, being caught out by the supermarket game or could have been if I had actually bought them. Took me to travel all the way to Wrexham to find that out:rotfl::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Sorry again! :eek:APG and myself now outdoing each other as to the number of errors we can make. I think I'm still just about less erroneous though:o:o.:rotfl: I do try to ensure accuracy very hard and I'm sorry I've let you down on this occasion. At least if only so that you can have confidence in the information that I provide.:)

I'm sure fairclaire can testify as to my greater penchant for accuracy however.

I need to buy one every year. DS2 literally kills them to be fair he gets his money's worth! I have learned over the years to save all salvageable parts for recycling. And the old frames are good for making netting frames on my raised beds :money::money:
