The price of kitty litter has gone up

I use a well-known brand. I buy the 42 lb. package which has four 10.5 lb. bags. I order it from Petsmart's website because it's always cheaper online than in the store and they have 20% off sales online all the time. Yesterday, I noticed that the price has gone up around $3.00 for less litter. It's now a 38 lb. package with four 9.5 lb. bags.

And so it goes.

I saw diesel fuel was over $5.00 at a Kroger gas station the other day. Diesel used to be cheaper than regular gas.

I blame DJT. Of course, I blame him for everything.

I'm not going to tell the cats. I'm sure they wouldn't care anyway. They would think that's my problem, not theirs. I'm here to serve them no matter what it takes or how much it costs.

And I do it willingly.

I’m going to need cat litter soon, and it’s expensive at the grocery store.

so I always order it online and then go pick it up.

And they have the 20% off sales online frequently. It's practically every other month. Sign up for their Rewards Card and get points on everything you buy.

I've found that Petco is more expensive.

to gas prices being so much higher, companies are taking the opportunity to raise prices on EVERYTHING! At least that’s my opinion. THANKS TRUMP.
