Tips to Reduce Cat Litter Costs
1
Buy in bulk
Large bags (18kg+) often cost 30-40% less per kg than smaller bags.
2
Scoop daily
Regular scooping extends litter life significantly vs weekly deep cleans.
3
Use a litter mat
Catches tracked litter so it can be returned to the box instead of vacuumed up.
4
Add a deodorizer
Activated carbon extends time between full litter changes by absorbing odors.
5
Right-size your box
A properly sized box uses less litter than an oversized one.
6
Consider subscriptions
Many brands offer 10-15% off for auto-delivery subscriptions.
