Cheaper Cat Food

Approximate $ Savings:  $8 per 5 days ($584 a year)

Quite by accident, I opened a tin of "human" tuna for my cat. She ate it with much more gusto than the "cat" tuna I had been buying for her. On looking at the prices, I realised the huge difference between them. An 85g tin of cat flaked tuna is $1.87 whereas a home brand 425g tin of human tuna is 1.99! She used to eat one small tin a day which came to $9.35 over 5 days. The 425g tin at $1.99 lasts her for 5 days. What a saving and she enjoys it more. Her diet is also supplemented with dry cat biscuits.

Editor's note: Check with your vet before switching your cat to a diet of canned tuna alone. Tuna contains a number of things, such as unsaturated fats, that while perfectly good for us humans, can make our moggies very sick if they have too much. As a treat now and then tuna is fine, as a regular meal, human grade canned tuna is not so good.  Cath
