Now that I will only eat one type of kitty food - only available at very pricey Wholefoods shop - mum says all her food money goes on my food and she misses the days I enjoyed the cheaper kitty foods. Oh well, an old girl deserves the best.

I still buy steak but it is the cheapest variety; I can usually find some for $11 or $11 a kilogram, sometimes as low as $8, but I have to shop around. It's not a big piece that I allot myself at each meal, either. Chicken drumsticks are the main poultry, as they are cheap.<br /><br />It's difficult these days. I don't eat bacon, which is too expensive for too little return, and anything such as ice cream is an unaffordable luxury. I'm just getting by and I live alone - except for the cats.<br /><br />Society talks about eating healthy yet the good foods are too expensive for most people. Thank goodness politicians can still afford to eat well; they need all their strength to lead us.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126464456123952148.post-88083439143736806782014-02-25T04:16:45.885+13:002014-02-25T04:16:45.885+13:00Wow, that food IS expensive.

Mum does a lot of comparison shopping (she checks the main shops' sales on the internets before going to town) and if there isn't any meat on sale she doesn't buy any. She usually buys what is in season and the least expensive but she always buys MY foods first.

Yet, I look at how much I spend to feed my backyard critters (squirrels and birds), I know I could cut back and will once the weather gets warmer. <br /><br />It doesn't seem like you have a car? If so, that would make comparison shopping impossible. So glad you found a home where you can walk everywhere. Have a great evening!<br /><br />Christine, SweetPea, C.

But then, since our human so rarely cooks, she really doesn't know the cost of roasts, etc. (Way beyond her budget, though.)

The price of meat is absurd. Considering we are a country of beef and lamb it seems very unfair to pay so much. We try to buy farm meet through friends who have land. The price is better and so is the taste. I have chickens and would love other farm animals but we are townies so not possible.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315638690434873691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126464456123952148.post-53169128258376661442014-02-24T22:58:57.961+13:002014-02-24T22:58:57.961+13:00My human figured it out recently, and she spends m...My human figured it out recently, and she spends more money feeding us than she spends feeding herself!Summer at sparklecat.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624833066564341341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126464456123952148.post-76093044314761063252014-02-24T22:23:29.265+13:002014-02-24T22:23:29.265+13:00Food is expensive... as if most everything else.

I don't eat much in the wway of meat other than chicken and fish. Rarely do I ever have beef, pork, etc. <br /><br />And hooray and thank Heaven for us both to be fortunate enough to have income enough for essentials... and a few wants, here and there. :)<br /><br />Have a lovely day, ladies!Barb https://www.blogger.com/profile/06505712893586414408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7126464456123952148.post-69948038353519202062014-02-24T21:05:57.788+13:002014-02-24T21:05:57.788+13:00Goodness Poppy!x That food is expensive....!
