Been to the butchers

Just got back from the butchers, and have brought.

15lb shin beef, (looks lovely too)
10lb neck fillet lamb
4 small whole chickens
4lb lambs liver (ughhh) for treats and one meal a month

Cost all fresh with spare bags to put it in the freezer thrown in £21.00

Why for the dogs of course.

Bag the shin beef into 3/4lb bags and the lamb into about 1lb bags (as cats adore this too) this keeps them for about 4 weeks with added biscuit and carrot/other veg and gravy with beef. Just biscuit or brown bread with the lamb.

The chicken they share with the cats. and Sal and Tess have biscuit with theirs.

They have autakary every third night and tinned chappie once a week (they like this) and Tess still has her breakfast of autakary.
They also have pilchards or tuna occasionaly too.
What a life eh to be a dog

I'll be in the butchers tomorrow, I go once a fortnight on a friday.
My order will be.
8 bags of chicken wings = 80
2lb heart
2lb lap of lamb
2lb pork ribs (mostly meat)
1lb liver (to blend in with veggies, as they aren't keen)
3 pigs trotters (at least)
And some meaty bones.

It costs me roughly £11.00 and it feeds 3 Staffords for a fortnight.
The trotters and bones are free.
I also buy a bag of minced beef, a bag of minced tripe and a bag of mixed frozen veg, about once a month. Roughly £6.00.
I will also get any thing going very cheap at the end of the day from the supermarket, eg Oxtail which they love.
Almost forgot they get a tin of pilchard in tomato sauce once a week.

My butcher always comments that my dogs are better fed than him.

Blimey Michelle I spend more than that a week for just two

Lel, the £11 is just the butchers fortnightly bill.
On top of that I buy the Tripe and mince and veg which works out about £3 a fortnight. then the fish about £2 fortnightly.
So roughly £16 per fortnight = £8 per week for 3 dogs, not bad eh.
The butchers bill is so cheap because the trotters and bones are free, and the chicken wings are only 30p for 10, and they get 2 every morning for breakfast. So really 3 dogs are getting their breakfast for less than 30p, Crazy isn't it.
