Ok, hit me with ideas please. I can’t afford to double the cost but am prepared to pay extra for European cat food, both dry and wet.

Anyone found good options? I’m in the UK which may limit my options

Aldi have what I presume is their own Vitacat range. They’re likely a pretty good copy of other more expensive cat food brands at a lower price and Aldi is a German company. I don’t know the specific country of origin but for standard things like that it is usually made in the UK or EU (a quick check shows they don’t list it these days, but used to - dairy products used to come from Ireland, for example).

Thanks Emporor, great shout actually as I feel reassured that I’m mostly spending in the EU by shopping own brands in Lidl.

Germany seem to have a good reputation for quality cat food albeit at quite high price. I just need to suck it up and take the hit for the cause

Ah, I specifically mentioned Aldi for a reason. Another poster gave a breakdown of Lidl’s other activity and they are best avoided.

If you stop using big business based on us cloud usage you’re going to have a bad time, it will take them years to unwind if they need to and its a bit unreasonable.
