Diaper Deals


I had a baby Dec 1st 2010, so I'm definitely back in the diaper buying game.
I found these great deals on diapers shipped for free to your home.
I am going to post my specific deal, but there are many ways to combine them with other brands and sizes of diapers, and wipes and save a bundle.

I went to amazon.com and added a box of size 2 Pampers baby Dry diapers 228 ct to my cart via "subscribe and save" "subscribe now" button. The normal subscribe and save amount is 15%, but if you join Amazon Mom, it takes off another 15% for 30% off total, in addition you get free shipping ( believe it is 2 day shipping!)

Amazon mom is free, and subscribe now is free as well, and once you sign up for the subscription you don't have to keep it, you can cancel it as soon as you place the first order. just go under "my account" and click manage subscriptions, and cancel the items you want to cancel, and no further obligations.

the original/ sale price of this box of diapers is $41.99, subtract 30% = $29.39 $0.13/diaper!
for an even sweeter deal, if you have a Babytalk, American Baby, Parenting the Early Years or Fit Pregnancy magazines be sure to look inside for coupons for 20% off or $10 off diapers! I had a baby talk magazine and found the 20% off coupon, added at the check out page, and it brought my total down to $20.99!

and yes there is another way to save - I used a $5 e-gift card from swagbucks which is a search engine, and when you sign up and use it, you earn points and you can redeem those points for lots of cool prizes including gift cards. I had enough to get a $5 ecard to amazon.com, I applied it to my order, and I am only paying $15.99 shipped! $0.07/diaper!
Search & Win

Thanks,

Kohls, dollar tree, CVS

I realized this past week, I really dont have much of anything to wear, esp for maternity clothing. The last time I went to Kohls I found some tops that I thought were great, and had lasted through previous pregnancies, but the price was high, so I was only able to get one.
I got a 15% off coupon for shopping this weekend, and it was also advertised there were great sales and some clearance as well.
in addition to the 15% off, Kohls also had Kohls Cash, and get $10 for every $50 you spend. I found all of the tops I wanted were either on sale at least 50% off or clearance up to 80% off. while there the girls found a couple of things they wanted, and they were all on clearance, and while walking to the restroom, I saw some adorable baby clothes I couldnt live without , either on sale 50% or clearance up to 80% off.
total I got 14 items (not counting some of the kids.baby clothes had separate pieces) so total including tax & my 15% off I spent $110, which averages out to $7.86 each piece!
$266.84 was the savings it showed on the receipt!
I also got back $20 in Kohls cash to spend starting July 1st!

Dollar Tree-
not really a "find" but I was searching everywhere for a cheap pair of sunglasses that didnt look completely stupid. I didnt want to spend a fortune, since my luck with sunglasses is 0, Ive been through 4 so far this year! I found 2 pair that suit me great! when all else fails try the dollar store LOL!! CVS - had to spend more OOP, but I hope to use this 2nd card to score more deals!
Fusion razor $9.97 used $4 Q 6/6 PG $5.97
CVS shave cream used FREE item from CVS email
got back $5 ECBs from razor
~
Huggies $19.99 used $3 IP = $16.99
used $5 ECB , paid $11.99 got back $10 ECBs from huggies
now to start "rolling" the $10 ECBs to get more free / super cheap stuff

Kroger & Randalls

Randalls
I use loadable "ecoupons" at randalls, from Cellfire and Shortcuts . These coupons can be saved onto your store card (the one they scan when you check out), and they reset, alot of time there will be coupons that overlap and multiples of the same ecoupon will come off your bill. you can also use regular coupons (internet printed, and insert clipped etc) I usally only shop Randalls for these deals, and load the cellfire coupons to my randalls card, as Kroger does not have multiples of the same ecoupon come off.
Chex Mix $2.00 used 3 $0.50 ecoupons & 1 $0.50 IP which double = -$0.50
NV Cashew snacks $3.69 used 3 $1.00 ecoupons & $1 IP = -$0.31
