Tips for Saving Cat Supplies

Shopping for cat supplies at your favorite local or online pet stores is a fun part of owning a pet. It’s like buying things only it’s for your pet. But buying things for your pet can be quite helpful at times, especially if you’re already spending hundreds of dollars on things that seem like they’re not really important to your pet. Here are some money saving tips you can use to choose the cat supplies they really need.

For food and water bowls, you don’t need those expensive ceramic supplies for your pet. Be resourceful; Upcycle those ceramic ice cream bowls you found for sale at grocery stores and use them as your food and water bowl. Three bowls of food from pet stores can cost you up to five dollars. You may think they look cute, but your pet doesn’t really care about the design of her food bowl, all she cares about is the food you put in it.

It can be a lot of fun to watch your pet play with their toys, but it’s also very frustrating to see your pet not play with the toy you bought them. To make sure your pet enjoys the toy, find out what interests him most. You can visit your local pet stores or search online for interesting cat toys. Just don’t spend too much on these things, as your pet might lose interest in the toy after a while of playing with it. A furry mouse or catnip toy can be fun for them. If you don’t want to spend a lot on toys, you can use items from around the house such as balls of yarn, paper bags, cardboard boxes, milk rings, etc.

Save the coupons. Clip or print pet store coupons from magazines or newspapers. Every little coupon adds up. After some saving time, you may have enough coupons to buy cat supplies. This can be a great way to save.

Buy items on sale. If you buy supplies at grocery stores, you may be offered deep discounts. Also be careful with your sale, this can be a great opportunity to buy many items at a much cheaper price.
