What is your litter stockpile amount?

[krazyaboutkatz]

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)

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

LOL!! I just couldn'd resist

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.

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!

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.

I've seen the Odor Eaters brand there, but haven't tried it. How does it work? Does it clump really well??

I have tried the Nature's Miracle litter, which I thought worked really well, but a few of my guys downstairs refused to use the litter box if it only had that in it. So, I had to put in other clumping litter to go with it. The fosters upstairs used it and had no issues with it.

Normally when I go to PetSmart, I would buy 4-5 of the largest boxes of the Exsquisicat brand clumping litter. I thought it worked ok, and for the money, it was good. I do like the new formula that Scoop Away is using. It's been clumping great, and works well on the smell.

I guess normally I have about 2 - 40lb pails unopened, plus one opened pail in each foster room and then another open pail in the downstairs for Furbee's potty in the kitchen, and another open pail in the "litter room" on the 2nd floor. The manager at PetSmart said the last time I stocked up "Either you have a lot of cats, or there's a mountain lion in your house!" LOL!

Yes, I think it does but I also mix it with the unscented Everclean. I also like the fact that it has a nice smell that's not overpowering like some of the scented litters. Catnapper was the one who started using it and started a thread about it so I decided to give it a try.
