Post by: Janeyk on August 09, 2011, 12:54:13 PM: You can get 48 - maybe it's a one off or a new thing they're starting?

Post by: Dawn F on August 09, 2011, 13:02:33 PM: I thought so, well both my local tesco and sainsburys are now only doing 44 - bet they hoped we wouldn't notice

Post by: Dawn F on August 11, 2011, 08:27:33 AM: well this is what they said

Thank you very much for contacting us regarding our Felix in Jelly Mixed Selection 48 packs. Further to your enquiry, we would like to advise that we have recently changed the 48 packs to a 44 pack and have reduced the recommended retail price accordingly (£13.83 to £12.15). We would like to explain the process, which determines the price our customers pay for our products. Purina Pet Care suggests a recommended price to the retailer. They in turn decide upon the price at which they will sell to their customers. We have a limited control over the price at which you buy any of our products and can merely make a recommendation to the retailer. We hope that this information has been helpful and if we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Post by: AliCat on August 12, 2011, 11:14:29 AM: They were doing 44 for £14.99 in my local Tescos. They were £10 when they had 48 in them. Funny that the change in price coincides with them offering £10 for £5 clubcard vouchers on pet food... I smell a rat. I complained but got no where with it.

They are still £10 in ASDA and about £12.99 in Morrisons.

Post by: Dawn F on August 12, 2011, 11:17:34 AM: I did reply asking why putting less pouches in the same box was considered a good thing but don't expect a reply

Post by: tab on August 12, 2011, 15:47:42 PM: On a similar line have felix changed the menu? Amber has suddenley decided she doesnt like one box felix senior but is ok with the other. Kind of scared though now as she will only eat felix senior and if they change it shes going to be hungry ;)

Post by: AliCat on August 14, 2011, 17:16:38 PM: Sainsburys have the 44 pouch boxes in for just under £12, however most of the boxes of 12 are on offer (including meaty loaf and senior chunks) at £2.48 meaning you can get 48 pouches for £9.92.
