Chapter 10: Budgeting for wet food and spotting good value

Wet food can cost more than dry food, so plan a monthly budget before committing. Work out how many tins or pouches your cat eats per day and buy in family or value packs from local supermarkets and pet stores to save per meal. Compare brands by cost per gram rather than per pack, and check the protein content so a cheap option still meets your cat's needs. Buying during supermarket promotions or joining store loyalty programmes helps keep costs steady.
