How to get the best deal on DIAPERS!

EDIT FOR CORRECTIONS:  The Target deal isn't that great.  My Buy Buy Baby w/ Babies R Us coupon will save you more.


I hate paying more than I have to for ANYTHING.  I'm not cheap, but why should I pay more for something that I can get for less?

That being said, I scout baby deals like it's my job.. because it kind of is right now. Haha!  Well, until I start looking for a real lawyer job.

DEAL OF THE WEEK - Target!  Buy 2 Economy packs of Pampers or Huggies and get a $10 Target gift card.  But that's not all.  The diapers are $37.99!  That is a full $8 cheaper than Buy Buy Baby, $9 cheaper than Babies R Us, and I'm not sure about Amazon because they're not worth it to me anymore and I'll tell you later why.

Here is the link to the Target Ad for all of you San Jose-ers.  It's only good until January 12, so go now!

Target Ad

So.. This Target promo is special.  Usually I buy diapers at a discount as follows:

(1) Wait until Babies R Us runs a promo for $8 off Pampers ($10 off Huggies for you Huggies users)

then

(2) Take the coupon (and hopefully manufacturers coupons, because you can use up to 4 if you have them) to Buy Buy Baby because you get about 20 more diapers for $1 less.

Buy Buy Baby will take any competitor's coupon so take them up on this if you have a store near by.  Also, buy the max (usually 3 boxes) because they have the most amazing return policy!

Buy Buy Baby Returns Policy

You can either get your money back if it has been less than 90 days, or exchange it for the next size up (or merchandise credit) if it has been more than 90 days or you lose your receipt.  Here's a little tip -->  Tape the receipt to the last diaper box you plan on using so it's less likely that you'll lose your receipt.

Absent a super special promo, this is the best way to buy diapers since Babies R Us will run these promotions about every 2 months.

Why I despise Amazon

So, I don't really despise Amazon.  In fact, I probably have 5 shipments coming to my house as we speak.  BUT they changed their subscribe and save system and the new system SUCKS.

You now have to wait at least a month before you get your first shipment of diapers.  WTH?!  One month!  That's an eternity in diaper land.  Plus, you're locked in to ONE SIZE.  So, I haven't completely investigated whether you can change the size because it's not worth it to me.. but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.  Sorry, but Adelaine has gone from a size N to a 2 in 3 months.  I don't know what size she'll be next month and I definitely don't want a shipment of too small diapers coming to my house that I will have to go back and return.

PLUS, the price is exactly the same (maybe a few cents more) than my Babies R Us / Buy Buy Baby technique.  I am sorry Amazon, but you have lost me as a diaper customer.

Hope these tips help!
