Cat Litter 14 lb vs 38 lb: Which Is Cheaper?

Common sense dictates that buying in bulk is always cheaper. However, in the world of online cat litter shopping, the extreme weight of the product warps this logic due to shipping costs.

Before assuming the 38 lb box is the best deal, check the Cat Litter Deals page. Retailers like Amazon and Chewy often aggressively discount the Tidy Cats 24/7 Performance Clumping Litter 14 lb jugs to drive volume, while the massive 35 lb pails and 38 lb boxes remain at a high, flat retail price to cover freight shipping. In many cases, buying three 14 lb jugs is significantly cheaper per pound than buying one 40 lb box.
