What is your litter stockpile amount?

[Logan]

Mine is on, partially used container, just in case. We only have one cat now, Butter, and he chooses to "go" outdoors. He knows the litter box is there, but he rarely uses it.

I am so fortunate that my girls are not picky about their litter. I buy a generic brand of clay litter for $1.00 per bag at the Dollar Store! I buy 2 bags per week as there are 2 litter boxes in the apartment. (Yes, my girls have more bathrooms than I have! ) Sometimes I will buy 4 bags and have the extra 2 on hand.

I change their boxes once a week, and try to scoop every couple of days. If I don't, Tabitha will get disgusted and decide to pee wherever she pleases! And sometimes it is right in front of me, as if out of spite if I haven't cleaned the bathroom! :::hrmph:::

Being proudly owned by my 11 furbabies, and supplying them with 5 litter boxes, I usually go thru 80 to 100lbs of liter (Tidy Cat) a week, keeping one 35lb bag on hand. I buy mine at Publix because it is actually cheaper than at Pet Smart and I spend a lot at Pet Smart every week. In addition to my 11 at home, I have three stray/feral colonies that I feed daily. Reading this thread today has really brightened my day. Ahh, the things we do for our babies.

It's good to read that other people get raised eyebrows when they roll their loaded carts to the checkout. To the few impertinent people who have asked "HOW MANY cats do you HAVE?!!", I've responded (with my one raised eyebrow) "Two. I dislike shopping." Then I just have to hope they don't see me a month later with another heavily loaded cart. I have a stockpile of Feline Pine in the garage, about 5 large bags, because it was on special a few months ago. I'm out of World's Best and must pay a visit to PetsMart this weekend. That stuff is expensive so I'll buy four bags if it isn't on special and twelve bags if it is.

Since two of my nineteen cats, one very old and one disabled, use newspaper on linoleum floor, I also lug home bags of used newspapers from the library every other day. So, yes, I do have a large stockpile of litter related stuff, I hadn't realized until now because it's routine.

Lut - that comment to Jen was hilarious, I'm still laughing.

I get about 40 to 50 lbs a week.. I have never thought about stockpiling.. I will watch for the next sale..

[Randi]

I stock up on cat litter - and other heavy things in the autumn, while the weather is good enough to cycle, as that is my way of transport.

I think I have three 5 kg bags in the cellar and the one up here.

[sirrahbed]

YOU use them?

LUT you are killing me here I burst out laughing that and now keep on giggling!!!

As for the litter question - I usually have 2 large (28 pound??) buckets of Fresh Step. They will last a few weeks. I seldom stock more ahead than that as I have never seen any good sales on Fresh Step.

Debbie - this week Target has the 28lb + 5 more lbs free for $10. I got a free $10 Target gift card for filling a new prescription last night so it was like a free bucket! Yippee!! Also, I have a printable PetsMart coupon for $5 off $15 for PetsPerks card members and if you take the Target ad in they will match the price. They had the 28lb + 3 more lbs free. I'm always trying to get the bargains. Richard was laughing at all my coupon/pricematching/gift card deals for litter last night.

Pet Supplies Plus has a brand called Premium Choice Scoopable, and from time to time they have 25-lb. and 40-lb. bags on sale. I used to stock up every time. The back seat of my car.. the trunk.. a corner in my bedroom.. were full of bags of litter. Since I was running out of places to store them, I decided to start working through them before adding more to the supply. I think the ones in the car are finally all out, but I still have several bags in the bedroom corner. The thought crossed my mind recently that maybe it's getting to be time to start watching for sales again.

Hey, we're always going to need it, sooner or later!

That is the exact cat litter I use! you CANNOT beat the price! But even on sale, I don't stoc up. I just get what the cats need.

Logan, I didn't know about Mimi. I am so sorry. ((Hugs))


I never have more that a 20lb bag on hand at any one time.

Litter users - I was thinking of switching Cassie from clay to clumping litter -- right now we use Tidy Cats with either the blue or red stripe on the label and I'm not unhappy, but I'd like to change the entire box less often. I get the 10-pound bag of Tidy Cats at the supermarket because the monster bag (although a better bargain) is heavy! The shelter used clay litter so we've stuck with that all these years - is it too late to switch to clumping litter?

Tell your hubby I feel his (back) pain!

No hubby, just me ... every now and again I borrow my upstairs neighbor's wheeled shopping basket, thank goodness for that and a building with an elevator because my parking space is a long walk from the door with a big bag of cat box filler. When the monster size is on sale, and my neighbor is home to lend me his shopping basket, that's a wonderful combination of events.
