By Nature Organic is the line that was discontinued. They do have other canned foods. I have enough to last until March. Then it's gone forever.
I afford the Rad Cat because I feel I have no choice frankly It's a food Mazy Cat can eat. But of course I also must mention that I live very simply. I don't eat out. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't use a cell phone. I don't buy anything for myself except the occasional cd or dvd. I re-perk my coffee for two additional days before I start a fresh pot.
My only really major entertainment expenses are hiking boots every two years and the gas used for traveling to visit family or to hike.
Having said all of that, the $2 increase is going to take some budget-adjusting for sure.
