Had to buy new light bulb this morning but found they were BOGOF. Saved £1.85 plus 5p roadkill.

Not a womble at all, but need to express my astonishment at a potential saving on dog food I've worked out and, well, feel free to skim over my ramble...

Old canned dog food (bulk bought when on offer, but not that often, sadly) usual price £9.75 for 24 x 400g tins. Approx. 41p per tin. 28 tins used weekly = £11.48 p/w

Changed to a cheaper own brand to trial with the mutts as Ridgebacks can be rather fussy. New food greedily accepted. New food is £1.95 for six 400g tins. Approx. 33p a can = £9.24 p/w

Discovered today that this new food is available in a 1.25kg big tin for 85p. I'd use just over nine tins a week, so cost would be £7.93 per week.

Original annual cost was £596.96
New big tin annual cost would be £412.36
Saving = £184.60.

:eek:
This was just one item from my shopping list. I'm flabbergasted.
I hasten to add, my dogs do get mixer biscuits, treats and bones too, so their diet wouldn't be adversely affected by a wet food of "lesser" quality (if, indeed it was - I don't know).

Apologies if you've died of boredom reading this. If you are still alive and kicking, I thank you.
