Perhaps you were supposed to examine the consistency of the food? My parents’ cat only likes the gravy in its meals, not the lumps, so will eat around them. Fussy little furball. I never had this trouble with Yume Neko – he’d take whatever batteries I threw at him, name-brand or store’s-own.

You know not only did I compute the per meal cost of this twice – but I computed it wrong each time — thanks for catching it! I updated for the correct amount.

Did you use a Bali calculator?

“$ 11.68 per case of 8 meals, each dog food meal cost $3.89″

I make that $1.46 each….unless you are adding in the stainless steel knife and fork or a pair of chopsticks for your dog to use …!

That just further reinforces my decision to shop at Costco.

Why is it that I see this as a bad omen regarding our economy and the current recession that no one wants to acknowledge?

“Burt Flickinger, a longtime retail consultant, said the last time he saw such significant changes in consumer buying patterns was the late 1970s, when runaway inflation prompted Americans to “switch from red meat to pork to poultry to pasta — then to peanut butter and jelly.”

“It hasn’t gotten to human food mixed with pet food yet,” he said, “but it is certainly headed in that direction.”

Retail sales figures and consumer surveys confirm that Americans are strategically cutting corners, whether it is at the coffee house or the airport. (In: brewing coffee at home and flying coach. Out: Starbucks and first class.)”
