Free After Rebate: Feline Fresh Cat Litter

With two kitties at home, I am always on the lookout for great deals on cat litter. I prefer pine or corn litters, so I was very excited to discover this deal from PlantWise Products! Until December 2012 they are letting you try their Feline Fresh Scooplable Cat Litter for FREE after rebate! This litter is dust-free, 4x more absorbent than traditional clay litters, made from all natural pine and is biodegradable. Their new formula is super clumping, making clean-up easier and neater. Even though the rebate does not expire until 12/2012 I suggest that you take advantage of this rebate soon to make sure the company does not discontinue it. Go here to find a retail location near you. Lucky for me there is a store within driving distance from home, so I will be stopping in this weekend to pick mine up!

Petco's new reward program

If you haven't heard yet, Petco is changing their rewards program! In my opinion the new program is a much better one, and I am quite excited by the change.

From now on, Petco PALS members will earn 5% back on all their purchases. That includes food, treats, grooming supplies, toys, everything you can think of for your pet. For every $100 spent on Petco purchases both in-store and online, you will receive 5 Reward Dollars to be used on any future purchase. These Reward Dollars can be used in store or online, making the program extremely easy to use and convenient for Petco customers.

If you are already a Petco PALS member no need to do anything - your membership will automatically be updated. For those of you who do not yet have a Petco PALS membership you can sign up in store, or go to the Petco PALS site and sign up.

I know that there are many who are not excited by the change in program. If you buy the same bagged food all the time, and only purchase at Petco, then you may be upset by the ending of the free bag program. But for those of us who purchase canned food more often, or who tend to purchase their food from a few different stores depending on sales, then this program is going to be a nice change. Either way, it is great to know that Petco is going to be continuing with a rewards program.
