Have you ever sat down and added up what you spend on your animals per month? I mean everything: food, bedding, toys, housing, litter, vet care? Have you? NOT ME!!!
I need "plausible deniablity". I need to be able to look my husband in the eye and tell him that the animals aren't that big of a financial strain. And as long as I can manage to space everything out, they aren't.
However, its weeks like this one where EVERYONE needs food that the expense of having them becomes all to apparent.
For example:
the dog needs food: 20.00
the puppy needs food: 20.00
the cat needs food: 10.00
the dragons need food: 10.00
Just food for just those animals: 60.00
Keep in mind that total doesn't include the fact that the puppy needs to be spayed in a coupld of weeks (yeah, that right now is going to cost me 115.00) or litter for the cat, rat food, snake food, etc.
If you have cost saving measures, I would love to hear them... leave me a comment!
