I normally order in slight bulk via amazon, felix 12x4 for 48 pouches in total, normally around 12GBP I think which seems about 4GBP cheaper than anywhere else I found.

Unfortunately, this is now OOS so I'm without a source, tried B&M/home bargains and they were OOS but charging 4.50GBP per 12 pack.

Anyone here get kitten food from a decent source that doesn't cost silly amounts? I would love a link!

    I think the only way you could feed a kitten more cheaply is a mix of wet and dry food - many people think this is best, as dry food can help keep their teeth in good condition and the added moisture in wet food is good because cats usually don't drink enough water. They don't feel thirst the same way as many animals. 

    On which note, they also can't taste sugar! Felix and many other of the cheaper foods contain added sugar, it adds no value to the cats diet, but can cause diabetes. There's still plenty of affordable foods without added sugar (The Webbox one mentioned is one example), it's just a case of reading the packets/ingredients list. Zooplus even has a filter for no added sugar foods. Saving 10p a day now to spend more at the vets later is the opposite of money-saving!

    Googel says Asda have it for £4 for 12
  • I've bought in bulk from Zooplus before. I often find the main brands like Felix etc are in B&M and a fair bit cheaper than most places, also The Range also seem to sell packs a bit cheaper at times - but a bit hit and miss. 

    I buy one of my dogs' food on Amazon subscribe & save (he needs a specific food that isn't sold in supermarkets and is really expensive when ordered direct or at somewhere like Pets at Home) and they are often a bit late with it (it's never been more than a week late) so I over-ordered a couple of months back as a one-off and now I have a good stock (probably 2 weeks+ supply) in case it's ever unavailable again. It'll give me a bit of time to make alternative arrangements if needed at least.
