Hi @Blackberrycurved . Try site approved foods. Cat food on there is half price. It's not guaranteed they have same pet foods all the time though. You need to register first xxBlackberrycurved said:Hi Everyone late getting off the mark but finally £90 to cc.

Take it you’ve looked in Home Bargains, B&M, Aldi, Lidl? We don’t have any pets but they’d be the places I’d check out. HB are great for toiletries 👍🏻Blackberrycurved said:Hi Everyone late getting off the mark but finally £90 to cc.

'Take it you’ve looked in Home Bargains, B&M, Aldi, Lidl? We don’t have any pets but they’d be the places I’d check out. HB are great for toiletries 👍🏻' Thanks LongWinding R. I don't know what has happened since Brexit but lots of places are just struggling to fill their shelves HB and Aldi are struggling to get pet stuff. B&M have stuff but it's more expensive than Asda. Asda I'm struggling to get the cheaper cat litter and Pets at Home price has doubled.Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 2018 14TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE / 2026 trying to stay debt free3
