kitty economics

Has the prices of your kitty supplies been going up recently?

Last week in Walmart, I noticed Fancy Feast had gone up 2 cents a can again, the second time in 6-8 months. Target has held steady on price. Kitty crystals have held steady, but the price of a bucket of litter at Sam's has gone up. I've overheard other customers talking about jumps in price on dog food.

How do things look in your part of the country?

Definitely going up on both food and litter. It would be cheaper to feed them people food. Was thinking the other day that I should have had sense enough to buy stock in Petsmart or Petco.

Pookey's food has jumped up, but I have also noticed my grocery bill as a whole has jumped up, prices on many things. Probably attributed to higher priced gas affecting transport, etc...

Ok, Tammy...this is starting to get eerie. Not only are our life experiences running hand in hand now our responses are too. I posted mine BEFORE reading yours.

Yes, the prices of all pet foods are going up here as well. In fact everything seems to be going up. I heard that it was because the gas prices are so high that it is costing more to move the products around the country so we get to pay more.
