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.
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.
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.
The unanimous #1 pick across expert reviews and Reddit alike. Medium-grain bentonite clay clumps hard, controls odor without any fragrance, and works in self-cleaning litter boxes.
The top pick among eco-conscious cat owners on Reddit. Made from whole-kernel corn, it clumps well, flushable, and multiple Reddit users say it outlasts clay litters on odor control.
Engineered with larger, differently shaped clay granules that don't stick to cat paws, the go-to pick if litter tracked across your floors is your biggest complaint. Earned the Good Housekeeping Seal.
The Reddit-loved alternative for owners who want zero artificial fragrance and minimal dust. Pine naturally neutralizes ammonia odors, and bulk bags from farm supply stores cost as little as $8 for 40 lbs.
