Bypass pet stores to save 75%

“Thinking outside the pet-store box can be a huge money saver. For example, if you use natural litter for cats or rabbits, which can cost $17 for an 18-pound bag, buy wood pellets at hardware stores instead—Lowe’s sells a 40-pound bag for just $6. And sure, a pet-store food dish with little fish printed on it is cute, but those dishes tend to be too narrow to prevent whisker fatigue (where whiskers get uncomfortably overstimulated)— and you can score large casserole dishes for water bowls and shallow gratin dishes for food at thrift stores for a fraction of the price.” —Sarah Logan, blogger at TheBunnyHub.com
