5 star Amazon rating [amazon.com] cat litter box for pellet-based litter (e.g. pine). The pad on the bottom can be easily replaced with any puppy pad.
It has an average price $63.71 on Amazon, making this a good time to buy if you're tired of heavy & messy clay-based litter.

Similar to printers and ink, the pads and pellets are how they get you. I've heard of using puppy pads like the post mentions and also using wood pellets for a super cheap alternative. I've personally stuck with their own products so I can't attest to alternatives but I imagine it'll work fine. They have scented pads and pellets now and I highly recommend them over unscented if you stick with their line of replacements.
The math isn't perfect, but you get the picture. Increase costs were enough to have me look for alternatives.

I paid $65 for this large box when it first came out a couple of years ago, so at $33.50 I just might get another one.

7 lbs of pellets will run you about $15-20 and you replace them monthly. The pads are about the same for 10 and you replace them weekly, so about 2.5 months. So around $25 a month in replacement material if you're keeping up with it

I think if someone only has one cat and they don't pee their brains out (or someone who isn't sensitive to the ammonia smell, it makes me crazy!) it might be ok.
