I agree. High prices are here to stay.foxgloves said:Good to hear of someone getting a bargain on cat meat atm. I don't think the high prices will ever fall back regardless of inflation rates.

Thankfully the dogs food doesn't seem to have gone up much at all. He eats dry and it is still £3.50 a box which lasts him a couple of weeks if not a bit longer. He isn't a big eater.2 -
That was a great cat food bargain SA - of course, cats being cats, this is about the point where that cute little nose gets turned up, whiskers get twitched, and an expression of purest "why would I eat THAT muck?" gets turned on you, isn't it! Ours used to be a shocker for that, although as long as she was retained on the cheap Kitekat in gravy that we routinely fed her, all good. when she went to the cattery and was treated like a queen with F3l1x for a week though, we had a devil of a job persuading her to eat anything else!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
