I wish someone made good-quality gooshy kitten food in toothpaste tube-like dispensers. It would save so much wasted food and be fewer cans to recycle.
The wet food is a supplement, not her main diet. So she only eats a few bites at a time, and the fancy no-preservatives food doesn't keep more than half an hour in the dish, a day in the fridge. My older cat is a mutant and doesn't like wet food at all.
I'm thinking of making my own (I have the Dr. Pitcairn book), and I think Bark and Purr carries some of the kind that is frozen, and a small amount can be thawed out at each feeding. The bulk price is a little higher, but it would save money over the throwing away about half of each 99-cent can like I'm doing now.
If you decide to make your own, I would suggest purchasing a few of these (hey different tubes for different flavors): http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=13532&memberId=12500226&storeId=226&catalogId=40000000226&langId=-1
I'm pretty sure academy has them.
And even if you don't make your own, you could buy a big can of wet and re-package.

I'm desperately trying to come up with ways to be
stingyfrugal with this. It's too damned expensive to throw away!no subject
