This is our February 2024 donation to Meowness!!
It has been a hot minute since we last dropped off an in kind donation at Meowness, but today we are sending the humans over with about $824 worth of pet supplies that we paid roughly $176 out of pocket for.

Just look at this picture!! 170 lbs of litter, 183 lbs of dry food, 90 lbs of wet food and one pound of treats.

We are super excited and female human is tickled pink. She had a ton of fun shopping during the last few weeks and we really enjoyed sending her out to hunt for deals.

The last couple of years we have been constantly complaining about the lack of deals, lack of coupons and prices being totally out of control.

Pet supplies are still pretty expensive in our area, but luckily we’ve had great manufacturer coupons and a few really good store coupons  and in store promotions that stacked.

On top of that lots of friends and neighbors shared their extra coupons with us, which made a huge difference and helped us stretch our budget, almost like in the good old couponing times.

We’d like to thank everyone who has helped out with coupons in the past weeks! It really does make a huge difference!!

We even were able to score a few litter boxes for the Meowness kitties, which we hope, they’ll like.

This will probably be it for a while, as far as deal shopping is concerned, unless we are getting a similar perfect storm of store promos, store coupons and manufacturer coupons again in February. It doesn’t happen all that often anymore, but when it does it’s a thing of beauty. Sooo….fingers and paws crossed!

If you’d also like to help out the Meowness Kitties, please consider donating a few dollars to this very deserving rescue organisation. You can find their donation info here.

Today we had the human drop off what has to be the smallest donation in our history of donations to Meowness.
We are kind of disappointed at the lack of deals and it keeps getting worse. Coupons are few and far inbetween and the prices are kind of ridiculous.

We really feel for the shelters that go through a lot of these items and are facing increased cost for vet care on top of that!

They really need help more than ever!! If you can spare a buck or two, we know Meowness would be so grateful for your support.
You can donate on their website, the donate button is in the top right corner.

We also want to thank our friend Jennifer W. for sending us some stamps to pass on to Meowness, as they have to mail out a lot of paperwork on a regular basis.

The items pictured retail $ 216.16 and our out of pocket cost was roughly $70. We know, right? For that kind of money we used to be able to haul three times as much stuff to the shelter.

Times have definitely changed.

We are still trying to support the causes we care about any way we can, but dang do we miss the good ole couponing days when we could send the human shopping to the pet stores for pennies on the dollar.

What about you guys out there? Are you still able to find deals and coupons? Send those humans shopping, we gotta fill these bowls!
