I used to use Petco paper pellet cat litter. It's similar to Yesterday's News but cheaper. It never had any odor to it and held quite a bit of pee. I have also seen people recommend wood stove pellets which are supposed to control odor well and they are extremely cheap.

I use shredded, recycled printer paper. It requires a little more changing, but I get it for free.

Using shredded paper isn't really recommended as it's got little to no absorbency, it would really need changing every time they peed on it tbh. For poop it's fine, but for pee, not so much. I think it depends if your pigs pee frequently in the kitchen or not.

I use recycled paper pellets, Yesterdays News unscented, and they work great for me :) Another common kitchen bedding is wooden pellets.

I use the wood pellets. I've used Yesterdays News for rabbits, but switched to the pellets for economy. A 40lb bag runs $5-$7 depending on where you live. They work very well for odor control.
