Not at a meme level. MineralMan Oct 2013 #30

Of course memes aren't reality, only reality is reality Fumesucker Oct 2013 #32

No, that is not why I'm objecting. MineralMan Oct 2013 #33

Tuna at the bargain store is cheaper than cat food. We use it as a supplement. appleannie1 Oct 2013 #40

Yah. The price of canned tuna can be lower than MineralMan Oct 2013 #41

And you can save unopened mayo packets out of dumpsters and make tuna salad. appleannie1 Oct 2013 #57

Outstanding! Add that to the tip list. AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #58

Not me. MineralMan Oct 2013 #60

You indicate that cat food is not apt because it is too expensive. But a 24-count Pack AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #8

That's $0.38 per cat serving, not per human serving. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2013 #42

You're right. AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #53

I'm sure Chained CPI will consider that savings... Oilwellian Oct 2013 #55

Maybe it's just a matter of finding the right dry cat-food mix with the rice and beans you mentioned AnotherMcIntosh Oct 2013 #11
