Wow, it’s 2022!! How did that happen? We hope all our furriends had a wonderful holiday season and a purrific start into 2022!
Our winter visit in Phoenix is coming to an end and we wanted to send the human to Meowness one more time before we leave town for a while.
The items in this picture retail at $376, crazy for such a small amount, right? Pet food prices are out of control. Our out of pocket expense after coupons was $96.
Deals are definitely harder to find these days and on top of that it has gotten really difficult to find stock now.
A lady saw the human buy some of the canned cat food and commented “When you find product, you gotta buy it, right?”
So very true. We hope the human got us stocked up as well. We have less storage space now, as we moved into a new RV, but we insist on pet food storage being a priority!
With the Meowlidays right around the corner and the human going out of town, we wanted to make sure we are sending this donation to Meowness asap.
It is getting harder and harder to find deals and the retail prices are somewhat ridiculous, but we feel we did ok, all circumstances considered. The items pictured retail for about $545 (yikes!) and we paid about $91 out of pocket for them.
Compared to the good ole times, that is a rather small donation, but the kitties and doggies at Meowness can use all the help they can get!
If you’d like to help them out as well, here’s the link to their current fundraiser. They are still ways away from their goal and currently do have quite a few pets with medical needs. Any donation, no matter how small helps. Meowness is completely volunteer run and we assure you, they are a very deserving organisation!!
We personally are grateful that they allow the human to use their cute holiday pictures, like this one of Jolly, who by the way is still looking for a pawesome furever home (more info here). Thanks to that, the human doesn’t get anymore stupid ideas about putting us in holiday outfits or some such nonsense, as we have made it VERRRRY clear in past years, that we are not up for any of this!!
Happy Meowlidays to all our friends, two legged, four legged and also those with wings and fins!
It has been a while since we were able to send the human shopping. She has been avoiding the stores for quite some time.
Right now, we are back in Phoenix for a little bit and are trying very hard to find some pet food deals.
This donation retails at about $490 and we spent about $118 out of pocket, which is fantastic in our book.
It is a mixed donation of cat and dog supplies, because Meowness, despite being primarily a cat rescue, also helps some dogs down on their luck.
Like Desmond, aka Dezzy, pictured below with Olivia Rose, one of the Meowness kitties.
13 year old Dezzy just got pulled from the high kill shelter and needed lots of vet care, including getting neutered at 13 years old!
Poor little guy is in rough shape. Luckily he is in good hands with the Meowness gang right now and gets lots of purr therapy from his new kitty friends as well.
We had quite the sticker shock about the increased cost of pet supplies, since the human last set foot in a store.
And yes, all those rumors about supply issues on certain pet food brands really are true. The stores aren’t stocked well and prices are ridiculous.
We are tickled pink, that we still managed to get some decent deals for our buddies at Meowness. The human was getting rusty after not having coupon shopped for so long, so it was high time to send her back out.
If you would like to support Meowness as well, please consider making a donation to them. We guarantee you they are a very deserving organisation. After all, they are the ones who founds us our humans to adopt and train =^.^=
Happy Meow Year Furriends!! We hope you are all off to a good start!
We are getting ready to leave town again, so we sent the human to Meowness one last time before we hit the road. It’s only been a few days since the last drop off and in the meantime the human didn’t have a ton of time to shop. We also have used up most of our coupons before they expired on 12/31. For those reasons , this is a relatively small donation.
The items in the picture retail for about $ 188 and our oop for them was about $76. Not our one of our greatest hauls, for sure, but at least these are some of Meowness’ favorite products to use.
So this is it for this season. Yes, we know, it literally went by in the blink of an eye. On Monday the house will start moving again with us in it.
We hope to be back in Phoenix in October to do more shopping. In the meantime we’ll keep an eye out for a few online deals that can maybe sent to our buddies from afar!!
Say what, the Pawlidays are here? How did that happen? Meow!
Today we sent the humans to Meowness with all the goodies pictured above. This donation has a retail value of $907 and our out of pocket cost was about $296.
As we have said many times it’s a lot harder to get good deals now compared to when we first started to train our human how to shop. That said, we are still pretty proud of this donation. There were 13 buckets of litter (455 lbs), 255 lbs in dry dog and cat food, 110 pounds of wet food, plus treats, a carrier, paper towels, a heating pad and some cleaners. That’s a nice holiday donation for our favorite rescue.
The $10 off 40 and $10 off 30 deals at Petco, some personalized coupons at Petsmart along with lots of markdowns we found over the last few weeks made this possible. We even found deals at Walgreens and CVS of all places. We are hoping for a few more deals, while we are in town, so we can send the humans shopping a couple more times and make another donation in January. All paws crossed! We’ll be sending our human to our favorite Petco fur sure!
If you are still looking for a snuggle buddy this holiday season and beyond please consider adoptiong one of the many cute Meowness kitties!
The human met Baby Boy, pictured above and confirmed that he would make an amazing cuddle side kick on the couch. He’s still looking for just the right human! Maybe that’s you? Or if you cannot adopt a pet right now, you still help out shelter pets, by donating a few bucks to our buddies at Meowness, every little bit helps! There’s 4 days left on the holiday fundraiser, but you can also donate any other time using this link!
Happy Meowlidays furriends!! Hope you get to spend them with your favorite humans!
We hope, you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and an uneventful Black Friday!
Like every year, we sent our humans Black Friday shopping. Once they were done, we had them drop off their hauls right at Meowness the same evening. We don’t have any way to store things anymore. so shopping hauls need to get delivered to the shelter right away.
Neither us nor our humans are big Black Friday fans, but usually the stores have decent deals on litter or big bags of cat food, so we insist that the humans get their behinds in gear and do some shopping for our furriends, while we chill on the couch and strategize. Luckily the humans still get to sleep in and snuggle with us, so they don’t have to be at any stores in the middle of the night or any of that nonsense. That just wouldn’t work for us.
The deals were not all that great this year, but we think they did alright. Our favorite Petco had quite a bit of canned cat food on markdown, for which we had coupons, so that definitely helped!!
This donation roughly retails at $488 incl. tax, because most of the Blue Brand wet food was discounted, otherwise it would have been quite a bit higher. Our out of pocket cost came in right around $189. In our better days we used to be able to turn $100 into 6-8 times the value in pet food. This seems to be getting harder each year.
Considering we did not have that many coupons this year and the deals weren’t as great as in previous years, we are still pretty happy with the result. We had the humans ad match and luckily our favorite store allows that, so this definitely helped as well. Shopping the BF deals, probably saved about $180 over regular retail, so it was worth it to us. The marked down wet food paired with coupons really saved the day.
Seriously what would those humans do without us cats, making all the great plans? They would not even know how to shop!!
If you would like to help out the Meowness kitties as well, please consider donating a few bucks to their holiday fundraiser. This organisation does an amazing job of finding loving homes for homeless kitties and sometimes dogs as well. They recently moved the shelter, which means more added cost and they do have a bunch of cats with medical needs, so yes, every dollar helps!!
Or maybe you would like to add a furry family member to your home, like our pal Merry Mistletoe, pictured above. Isn’t she adorable! Quick , someone snag her up please, before female human gets any ideas!! Her and her buddies are looking for pawesome furever homes.
We are going to keep an eye out for more deals, while we are in town and hopefully will be able to make another donation in December!! Stay tuned!
We are two kitties from Phoenix, AZ, who sniff out coupons and deals for cats and dogs. Then we send our humans shopping, so we can donate pet supplies to support local rescues!
