my problem with litter is dumping it. We are limited to weight and the non clumping litters sure fills things up...luckily mine have the choice of litter or dirt and grass so I only go through aboyt 60 lbs a week ,,,I go through about 80 lbs of just dry food food a week also,,if not more..

I've saved a ton of money by switching to a non-clumping litter called cedarific. I buy a huge bale of it for $17, and it fills our 4 catboxes 3 or more times. The only down side? You have to change it more often, every 4-7 days, depending on the weather (heat and humidity effects how fast the ammonia builds up in the wet litter). it's still less than half the cost though, all told. And the cats prefer it. I know some people say pine and cedar based litters can be dangerous because of the fumes (I forget the technical term), but I have uncovered pans in addition to covered ones, and so far, no respiratory distress of any kind. They do prefer the uncovered pans though.
