Walmart Deal: $40.95 off PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Classic Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box

It uses crystal litter, which absorbs urine and dehydrates solid waste while also controlling odors. An automated scooping cycle runs as needed, sensing when the cat is out of the box before it handles the dirty work.

Each disposable tray has a plastic lining to protect against leaks and even has a lid for simple disposal when the time comes. It comes with one disposable ScoopFree Crystal litter tray with crystal litter.

You can purchase additional trays to keep the process going seamlessly without having to buy big, heavy bags of clumping litter every week and deal with a messy daily clean-up process. Make it even easier by signing up for a subscription to get new trays delivered every month.

Buyers praise the ease of use, convenience, and set up. While it’s an expensive investment, if you travel often or work long hours, the savings in time and effort, elimination of odors and convenience might be worth it.

Consider how much you’d spend on a cat sitter or on clumping litter, disposal bags and other accessories, and you might come out ahead in the long run.

Do I need a Walmart+ membership to shop the Walmart Deals sale?

Walmart+ members did gain early access to the October deals, and they had the chance to start shopping on Monday, October 6, at 7:00 pm ET. This early shopping access was crucial for snagging highly sought-after items before they sold out.

In addition, having a Walmart+ membership offers many benefits, including unlimited free delivery from their local store and free shipping on items from Walmart with no order minimum. Additional perks include saving up to 10 cents per gallon at over 14,000 gas stations, skipping checkout lines with Mobile Scan & Go, access to a free Paramount+ subscription and so much more.

Can you shop the Walmart Deals online and in stores?

Yes, the best Walmart deals are usually available both online and in Walmart stores. However, early access for Walmart+ members is often online only. It's best to check the specific details for each deal, as some might be online-exclusive while others are in-store only.
