Amazon adjusts their prices up because they are losing their asses on shipping some items. Anything heavy costs a lot to ship and they are taking money back on those items. I used to order grape gatorade concentrate. I could get a 4 gallon case for $30 to my door from Amazon or ebay. Then they figured out they were losing buckets of money on "free shipping" and the price went up to $80 with "free shipping" overnight. The case weighed 35 pounds and they were shipping it Fedex. When I looked it up shipping was almost $50. So, it isn't really the price of kitty litter is going up, the cost of shipping it is. There was a little lag between ebay and Amazon pricing going up maybe a week or 2. But they all did the same thing eventually. Check the price at Walmart or Dollar General.
