Special Kitty Odor Control Unscented

Under $10 for a 14-lb jug at Walmart — the cheapest unscented clumping litter that actually works. Bentonite clay base clumps adequately and the easy-pour jug is a practical bonus.

$7-$10
Pros
  • Cheapest unscented option at ~48¢/lb in a convenient 14-lb jug
  • Bentonite clay clumps adequately for daily scooping
  • Easy-pour jug design with recyclable packaging
  • Unscented formula works for multi-cat households per online reviewers
Cons
  • Clumps not as tight as premium options — can break apart during scooping
  • Tracks more than larger-granule litters
  • Walmart exclusive — not available at other retailers
  • Some users report odor control falls short with multiple cats
Why we recommend it

If budget is the priority, Special Kitty is the honest answer. It won't outperform Dr. Elsey's on clumping tightness, but at 48¢/lb in a recyclable jug, it's the pick for multi-cat households watching their spending.

What the community says

I was using one of the cheapest litters I could find (Special Kitty), but no matter how often I cleaned, the smell wafted throughout the whole house. So I switched to Tidy Cats.

What the experts said

If you're looking to keep costs low, prefer a 14-pound jug to a bag or box weighing 20 pounds or more, and don't mind the occasional sweep around the litter box to pick up a few tracked granules, this Walmart exclusive has a low price and is easy to use.
