May I ask?

How much do you spend a month on food?
Right now I buy a small bag of my dry kitten food for $11.99 a bag! And that lasts me at least a month (or did with just Raven anyway). And I have added their wet breakfast, I buy pouches and split 1 pouch between the 2 every morning, so that is about $15.00 a month.

I am asking because I have considered going completely over to wet food, or giving them two wet meals a day. I do not understand how you afford that? I mean, as they grow will they each need their own pouch? So if I fed 2 wet meals a day that would be 4 pouches a day! So a box of 12 would only last 3 days (instead of 12 days like it does now). I think at the most I can only feed them 1 wet meal a day.

I spend about £35 ($72) a month on food Most of that is on wet food as I get through 135 pouches of wet food a month and buy only a small amount of dry. I live on cheap food while they tuck into gourmet cat food I do buy in bulk when it's on offer otherwise it would be more. Cat food, like just about everything else, does cost more over here than in the US though, so that's probably not much help.

About $9 - $11 on dry, and $9 - $11 on wet, give or take a buck or two for treats.

So, about $20 per month (for one cat).

Wet food costs:

Penny: $30-31 per month

Ginger, Ferris & Max: $10.24 - $16.43 each

So.... a grand total of approx $40-46 per month on wet alone.

I don't even want to think about the dry costs - or the litter costs. I try to stay stocked up, so I buy in advance of when it is needed, and I try to get stuff on sale.

On my personal cats I spend about $80 a month on food. Fosters are supplied with dry food but I supplement with wet which runs me at about $50 a month.

About $80 to $100, depending on my canned food supply (I buy by the case, and dry food I buy #40 at a time).

I have one cat.

He's fed a variety of canned foods (Evo, California Natural, Wellness) as well as a bit of dry food per day (Evo) just to keep him used to it. I spend about $30 per month on the canned food and if I prorate the huge bag of the Evo it probably comes to a total of $34.00 or so.

I'm thinking of taking him off of the dry completely and feeding him 1.5 cans per day of California Natural (he tolerates this better than the grain-frees I feed). It will be more expensive if I do so...about $55.00 per month.

Thank God my cats do well at cat shows - I get free dry for a few months at a time.

I really don't want to think how much my cat food bills are....or my litter bills for that matter!

Zoeys dry is only the tax much of the time about 2 buck for a 2 month bag( work for the company ) or it would be 25 for two month or 12.50 a month ( I try to only buy bonus bags with a extra lb or two ) ... canned food is about 10 a month as she is picky and doesn t eat much ... litter runs about 6 a month ( feline pine scoop( sale time I got 4 months for 13 $) with worlds best or sweeet scoop depends on sales) .... treats she like expensive about 10 a month ... no vet visits she runs about 75 a month

Gigi rund me about 250$ a month she eats 85% homemade( cooked) ... meds run about 100

I spend 50 to 75 dollars a month on Dexter and Sadie's wet and dry food.

I fed Lucky and now Paws, bag of Evo $24.00 , bag of Chicken soup for Kittens $14.00. Lucky will only eat dry, I fed my semi-feral a mixture of Chicken soup and Purina one, she won't eat Evo so around $45 a month

Around $40 for two cats montly- homemade with once or twice canned.

About $80 per month all canned 2 adult cats, 1 kitten. I've had to add in some dry to help my budget...

About £25 on biscuits and wet food for the cats.

Around $50 for one cat a month. Wet and dry, I need to be very careful what I feed Nikita, she doesn't do well on anything but very high quality food.

About $30 on dry and another $20 on wet for 5 cats

The exchange rate distorts things, but right now Jamie's wet food costs about $38 a month, and his dry another $15 - $20. I buy the canned food by the case; otherwise it would be a lot more.

Hmm... 1 adult and 2 kittens. Was buying a 4lb bag of nutro (weight mngmt.) and 1 8lb bag of nutro (kitten) a month.. So ~ $28 + the canned food...1 5.5 oz can a day... ~$17 = $45 a month.
I've just ordered what SHOULD be 4 months of food for all three (2, 16.5lb bags of EVO dry, a case of EVO ckn/tky, cal. nat. ckn/rice, and EVO beef) for $122.... So comes to around $30.50 a month. Hopefully this will work and I'll be feeding better food AND paying less!

For my three, about $40 worth of canned. My younger two go through an 8lb bag of kitten food every 3 or 4 weeks at around $18 a bag on sale. So they cost around $60 a month in food.
