16lbs Meow Mix Original Choice Dry Cat Food Expired

Best cat food for the value is Costco's Kirkland cat food [costco.com] which for me is $22.99 in the store ($1.09/lb). To me, it looks like Iam's cat food, but possibly with a little more oil added to it?

My cat's don't *love* it, but they eat it and don't complain; I've only recently switched to this after researching cat food. I have five indoor-only cats, they are free-fed dry and get wet food as a treat.

* The cheap cat food is sprayed/coated to trick the cats into eating it, they *think* they are getting something delicious, but it's full of crap their bodies don't need. Because they don't get the protein and proper nutrition from the cheap food, they eat more of it, usually puke it up (and the cheap stuff stains carpeting), and poop more (which is also stinkier).

Better quality cat food, they won't eat as much (cost-saving) because it contains the nutrition they need. If they do happen to puke it up, it doesn't stain the carpet. They poop less often and it's not as stinky.

I've have over 50 years of experience with loving my various cats, the above info is related to that.

The food that I buy for mine:
Costco's Kirkland
Iam's
Purina One
Nutro
Blue Buffalo (when there is a good deal; not many these days)
Target's Kindfull (my cat's don't eat this as much as the other's if they have a choice between two brands)
If you must go cheap, then Purina Naturals seems to be okay.

* Stay away from Meow Mix, Kit n'Kaboodle, Friskies, 9 Lives, etc - you think you're getting a good deal, but you're not.

Side tip - best deal for cat litter is Target's brand [target.com] in the bucket 35lbs for $12 (10% off order pick-up this week's sale; otherwise they'll have "Buy 2, get $5 gift card" fairly often).

Hi MrSkeptic - I found this deal on my own and posted it 'cause I think it's slick. Just to be clear, no one tells me what deals to post. I've been a community member for a long time and so have a pretty decent idea what constitutes a slick deal (though sometimes I'm wrong, ha). I understand you're skeptic and that's okay. Best to you!

Sorry I fed my cat this "trash" for 21 years and she did great. Only reason she is dead is bc my wife ran her over!
