Great Week for Diaper Deals


This is for all of my friends with babies in diapers.  Many of you have asked how I get my diapers for free or under $3/pack.  This is a great week to stock up on diapers for those of you with little ones or expecting soon.  I bought diapers when they were free or under $3/pack starting about a year before I got pregnant with Jude.  I still have yet to pay more than $3/pack and I am stocking up on size 4s now (Jude is still in size 2), and I think I have a TON of size 3s in storage.  So here are the current deals, but you should do it quickly as tomorrow is the last day on both deals! 

CVS Deal:
- Pampers big box (if you buy the Baby Dry rather than swaddlers or little movers, they have more diapers in each box).  If you get the Sunday paper like I do, there was a $2 coupon for Pampers a couple of weeks ago (or you can use the $1 coupon that comes in each pack if you already have a pack at home).  Here's how it works:

Price:                             $21.99
Coupon if you have it:  -   2.00
Extra Care Bucks:       - 10.00
           your cost:           =  9.99 for a box that has 3 packs worth in it (making them $3.33 per pack!)

The way I use CVS Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) is I save them for the next week's deals so I always end up paying for my purchases with previous ECBs rather than cash.  So even though my total cost is $19.99 at the register before getting my ECBs, I pay with ECBs that I've gotten in previous weeks so that I never really end up paying for diapers. :)  It's more like paying in monopoly money :).


AMAZON DEAL:
This one is especially great if you like chlorine-free diapers like Seventh Generation and Earth's Best.  I love these brands, but cannot afford them without a deal like this.  But you can also get Pampers and other brands here too.  Until tomorrow, July 31st, they have a selection of diapers on sale for 15-25% off plus an additional 15% off when you sign up for "subscribe and save," making many of them at least 30% off PLUS FREE 2-DAY SHIPPING!

How to do the deal:
1.  Go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=br_lf_m_1000517101_grlink_7?ie=UTF8&plgroup=7&docId=1000517101
2.  You will see all the diapers that qualify.  Choose the ones you want (can be one pack or multiple packs and brands) and below the "add to cart" button, there is a box for "subscribe & save",  Click on "Subscribe Now," and check out! 
3.  You will see on the final page the 30% discount and the shipping subtracted from your total.
4.  If you don't want them to continue shipping them to you each month, then after your order has been shipped, you can go into your account to the "manage subscriptions" tab and cancel your subscription.

Depending on the size you buy, the diapers end up being roughly these costs:
- Pampers:  $5.19/pack
- Earth's Best:  $6.59/pack
- Seventh Generation:  $6.22/pack

So when I placed my order, I used Amazon gift cards I got through using Swagbucks, a new online search engine similar to Google.  You can sign up free for an account here and you get points added to your account for searching the web.  I add the swagbucks search widget to my internet search bar so that I always search through swagbucks.  The points add up pretty quickly and I always cash mine in for $5 amazon.com gift cards!  Click here to sign up for Swagbucks!

Let me know if you guys have any questions!  Happy diaper shopping!

I love your blog's new look! And I like all the different tabs. I will never be as good at getting good deals as you. I miss my nephew Jude!
