Every year the 8th of June brings around an opportunity for both us and our neopets to truly display our appreciation for our petpets. Petpets have become a significant member to many Neopian families, and with numerous colours and species there are endless opportunities for us to choose the perfect petpet. This choice of neopet is often heavily influenced by our neopet, whereby we choose our petpet based on colourations and design and how similar they are to that of our neopets. Yet for many fellow Neopians, the decision on which petpet should be given to their beloved neopet is somewhat hindered by a limited budget. In light of this, this article reveals some of the cheapest petpets available today, with each petpet costing no more than 1000 neopoints. It will also advise you in deciding which of these petpets are most appropriate for your neopet based on colour palettes, temperament and design.
