You haven’t shopped on Amazon for an sd card have you?

They ship it in the biggest box they can find. You pick it up when it arrives and you're just wondering what on earth you could've ordered that would need such a large box. Turns out it's just the SD card rattling around in there with a couple of air pouches.

My biggest takeaway from this is, cat litter comes in boxes?

[–] neal 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We get litter from chewy. They deliver it in a box (the regular bag is still inside the box).

oh, a bag, in a box

I was trying to imagine the rigmarole that would come with boxed cat litter..

[–] amnesiacrobat 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are some brands in my area that come in a box for the smaller sizes.

like the posh gourmet cat litter with glitter and sprinkles? Yeh.. Morisson's saver litter for me :D

We settled on Arm & Hammer for our cat. It's middle-of-the-pack litter that works great, has good reviews, and comes in just a box, no liner. Nothing fancy like crystals, nor is it some bougie premium litter like Boxiecat.

But then again I'm in Canada and some provinces here still get milk in bags -- so we're weird like that.

I think some brands of clay litter come out used to come in plastic tote thingies. I know this because there was a popular how-to for frugal people to make them into panniers for your bike 😅

Yeah, I've always thought they come in plastic bags. First I've ever heard of cat litter in boxes.

[–] dimspace 2 points 2 years ago

Paper bags here mostly, but some of the really bulk ones in plastic

We get diapers delivered. The convenience is nice but yea, deliveries don't bring the same thrill as they used to.

One time I my car got broken into and all they stole was the box of cat litter. I wasn’t even mad. I just wish they sent me a picture of their faces when they opened the box up.

I hope chewy pays extra for my free shipping. Having a 40llb liter with 40llbs of dpg food and 15llb of cat food all in the same box seems so excessive.
