By the way, the canned and the treats are used by my cats AND fosters, and the dry is used either for the fosters (mixed with a better brand) or taken to the shelter.

I stock pile canned, dry and treats.

Off the top of my head right now I have 75 cans of Friskies, 45 cans of Fancy Feast, 2 boxes of Friskies pouches, and 2 boxes of Meow Mix (small cans).

For dry food I have 2 15 lb bags Friskies, 6 small 3 lb bags Friskies/Kitten Chow/Chef's Blens and 1 6 lb bag of Purina for Sensative Systems.

Treats....well I think I have roughly 15 treat containers....everything from Tempations to Frisky treats. I have to keep plents of treats on hand for Mystic, she is a treat-a-holic. ;)

Jen, I wait for sales and coupons as well....I'm running out of room for food for myself. Mark says that I spend more for the cats on food than I do on him. :rolleyes:

What a deal! I wish I could beat that! The other day I bought 10 25 lb bags of Tidy cat at Petsmart for 2.99. I need to go back and buy some more if they still have some. Usually the bags are 20 lbs for that price. Of course with my gang I have used most of it already.
