What is your litter stockpile amount?

[jazzcat]

We went shopping tonight and after hitting PetsMart and Target I now have 135 pounds of Fresh Step and 35+ pounds of Tidy Cats (for his majesty Ripley). It got me wondering if I'm the only one who stockpiles so much litter? I usually load up when it's on sale and/or I have coupons but I try to have at least 30 pounds on hand always. My reserves.

So how much do you have on hand?

[critter crazy]

Since i only have one kitty, i just buy one container a week while shopping, so I always have one unopened container on hand.

I'm obsessed with litter stockpiles!

In my bedroom there is a 20 pound jug. Another 20 pound jug under the bathroom sink. a 40 pound pail in the office closet and another 40 pound pail in the pantry. I typically have more but funds are tight, and I just went through 2 20 pound bags of Cat Attract litter a few days ago.

Small apartment, two cats - one 20 lb. bag lasts a couple of weeks and then I restock.

At one time in the summer I had 25 bags of litter about half a ton.
Now I am down to 240 pounds , as they go through 40 pounds a week.
They throw so much out, that I have to have a dust pan to recycle it back in.
The Kitten Trio dig and dig and dig.

At a place called Pet Club they always have Ever Clean on sale once a month so I stocked up and I bought 5 25lb boxes of it. I also still have another 25lb box from a previous time. At Petsmart I like to buy the Odor Eaters litter and they also seem to have this on sale a lot. I have a 20lb jug and a 28lb bucket of this. So I currenty have 198lbs of litter. Wow!!!! I must be obsessed.

I went shopping a few days ago; I bought 10 boxes of 4 kg .
My shopping cart was filled completely, which drew lots of attention by other shoppers

You people are TOTALLY hilarious!

I buy 3 40-pound bags at a time and then go home and use them. (1 bag per floor with a little to spare)

After all, I doubt that there will be a cat litter shortage in the near future. (LOL)

LOL

Last time we went shopping there was a special offer with the third pack for free if you buy two. I am usually not fond of these kind of offers as I hate buying a lot and storing things. But my partner insisted and we ended up with two kinds of litter: 3 packs of 8 kg + 3 packs of 4 kg! If you add some canned food and a few treats the shopping cart was full with cat stuff! Nothing for the humans

I just remind PTers that we have only two kitties

I tend to go once a month to either BJ's or Sam's Club and get 6 40lb containers of Fresh Step or ScoopAway (I can't remember which one) and that will last for a month or more.

When I used to use clay litter, they would put it on sale for .99 cents a bag and I would go in with two carts and pile up 10 bags in each cart....you should see the looks on people's faces when I started rolling through the store with all that cat litter ....but what you really should have seen was what my car looked like with all that litter in it.

I swear when I come home with all that litter....my babies seem to have a little bit of a glimmer in their eyes....kind of like "YEA HAW!!!! Party in the Kitty Litter Tonight....Come One...Come All!!!"

My cats like Tidy Cats litter. So I stick to that one brand, as I don't need to have 7 cats choosing to ignore the boxes due to a change in litter.
Target will have it on sale about every 6 weeks, for 28 cents per pound. I usually by 6 plastic tubs, 35 pounds each. It gets stored in the garage. Somehow I missed one sale and was running low. As in the only litter in the house was an open tub, about half full. I was getting panicky, then Target had another sale. Whew! Saved. I bought EIGHT tubs this last trip. 280 pounds. My little Honda was NOT happy on the short ride home.

I still don't understand why the plastic tubs (plastic is an oil product, right?) can cost less than the boxes.

We have yellow plastic tubs all over the place. Dad loves them for carrying fertilizer from the shed to his vegetable garden. And all his small tools go in yellow tubs to move from one project to the next. He uses them to bring in his dahlia bulbs (and others) for the winter, then to carry them out again in the Spring. No project gets completed in a day. So we have yellow litter tubs as lawn ornaments.

I got a 40 lb bag of Sweat Scoop for Cocoa Kitty. That's the most I have on hand at a time (for my 1 kitty) and I have a plastic container I put it in.
