Diaper Deals few and far between?

[RadioFanatic]

Is it just me or does it seem like the diaper deals have really dried up? Used to be able to have a stock of plenty of diapers, but for the past couple of months, I literally go from bag to bag, trying to hold out for deals that don't seem to be coming.

Thankfully, I still have about 10 containers of wipes from the last Walgreen's deal, but that was back in October, I think and I haven't seen anything good there either.

Am I right or can you tell me what I'm missing? It's really stressing me out! Time for me to get my almost two year old out of those diapers!

Agreed -- I used to get Huggies coupons nearly every week and they were often discounted at the stores so I could stock up. Seems like lately the coupons and bargains are just not there like they were.

I agree. I buy Luvs at BJ's, so luckily they've had coupons lately - last case was $29.99 - $5 bj's coupon, - $3 Luvs coupon, so $21.99 for the case. I hope they keep those coming. I can't justify the $30 price tag on huggies and pampers when Luvs has been working for me.

I signed up everywhere you're supposed to with new baby, but I haven't been getting the coupons either. Very frustrating.

I have not found any decent diaper deals lately either. I need to start stocking up on diapers for the new LO!

When my kids were little I used diapersDOTcom. They were the most economical at the time compared to stores in my area. They always had free shipping too.

If you use coupon code MAMA9585 you will get $10 off your first order.

Target has some printable diaper coupons on their website, or at least they did last week.

Have you tried using the target brand diapers? I swore by huggies for my first two kids, tried the target brand for my third and love them!!! They are usually about 6 bucks for a package, and sometimes target has 1 or 2 off coupons! They are much cheeper than huggies/pampers and work just as well!

I think they're dried up, too!!

I was just telling DH that Rite Aid has Huggies on sale for 8.99 this week, with a $1 rebate back.. and sure, I could use the $3 coupons they mailed me but it's still not a GREAT deal, kwim?

They had this fantastic deal over the summer that I am hoping they bring back!

Target had a coupon in the Sunday paper insert for $7 off purchase of both Pampers baby wipes & diapers. You had to buy both. However...it is a TARGET coupon, so you can also us it with a manufacturer coupon as well. I actually get lots of diaper coupons and send them to a friend that has a baby.

You might also think I'm crazy, but check and see if there are any diaper factories in your state. If so, call and see if they sell to the public or who they sell their "seconds" to. When my kids were little there was a nearby Drypers diaper factory and they sold their huge refrigerator size boxes full of diapers to a discount store called City Liquidators. I paid $7 for a humongous box of diapers. They were all a particular size, but they had slight cosmetic problems. Most often the diaper just wasn't folded correctly. But sometimes they had a longer piece of tape on one side, the pattern on the front was printed crooked, etc...Usually in a huge box that size I might have 5-10 diapers that were unusable. It was an awesome deal.

I meant to get more of the newspapers yesterday for that Target coupon because I have a ton of Pampers coupons too and I need to stock up for DS#2.

I used Luvs. They are a great diaper and I would buy a case of them at Walmart for not that much. Also from time to time Target would run a coupon on the case or I could find a coupon in the Sunday paper. Also you can get coupons for Huggies by signing up at their web site.

i got lucky... i was able to score diapers. both huggies movers and pampers cruisers at the navy exchange for 8.99 and i had a few coupons for 2-3 bucks off. there were only 31 in each pack..still a good deal

i also found a sale at food lion. pampers cruisers were on mvp for 6.99 .. at that time i had 2 dollar off coupons. so i paid 4.99 for 31 diapers. not to bad.

when i see these sales i stock up.

i got so many coupons by joining a coupon train.. i got coupons for beechnut and gerber foods. the finger foods. rice ceral.

I don't have kids in diapers anymore but I was just saying to dh I can't get over the lack of coupons and prices of diapers now! I was thinking of buying some as a baby gift but it's cheaper for me to get a few other things. I am so happy I don't need to buy those anymore eek!

I remember always getting good coupons and sales. There are less in the cases now too.

The target coupons must be regional, we got special k stuff instead of pampers. Fine by me though.

Try cloth! DD's diapers for her entire time in diapers will cost us $400. Every unused diaper dollar we save is for WDW! When we decided to do cloth it was because I had just quit my job and money was really tight, but then I started reading about the other benefits of cloth and now that we could afford disposables, I would never switch. I love cloth! Better for the environment (500 years for 1 disposable diaper to decompose) and better for baby's skin. There are some chemicals that are illegal in most countries that are put in diapers. It's scary; things that should be safe. Disposables have only been around since my generation was born, so there might be long term effects, too early to tell.

When I was pregnant I thought it would be so gross to wash my own, but it's really no big deal. Put them all in a big wet bag and drop/push them out of the bag into the washer, done.

If anyone wants and cloth diaper info, I'd be happy to help, just pm me!

I've noticed the same thing. PullUps don't even have coupons in print anymore... how annoying. I used to be able to stockpile diapers for the months ahead, but I'm buying pack-to-pack now, and it drives me nuts!
And just when we're teetering on the brink of potty training, I'm pregnant again (Well, yay, we've been trying for EVER! so I can't complain)

 

[dis-happy]

I just buy the big box of Kirkland brand diapers (and wipes) at Costco. The price is reasonable enough and it's easier than chasing down coupons imo. Plus, I HATE to run low on diapers!!

ITA about the Target diapers. I didn't like the new ones once they changed last year, but they've really improved since their previous design. I think they are just as good as the major brands. I have 2 DS and they haven't ever leaked out of them or soaked through the front. $13.69 a case and usually a register coupon for $1-2 off for next time. I'll keep using them.

I switched to using the Walgreens Brand and have been happy. They are $8.99 a package when full price, but often go on sale for $5.99 a package or sometimes are buy one get one half off. (at least once a month they seem to be on sale). And if you ever see a coupon for their store brand, snag a bunch of them...there were a few times last year they were BOGO and we had $2.00/pkg coupons too, but I haven't run across that in about 9 months now...so even the store brand is offering less sales/coupons.


And if I do snag a Huggies or Pampers coupon, I try to use it at Walgreens when those brands go on sale.

We are out of diaper diapers and into pull ups and overnites. I like the Walgreens pull ups for my 2 yr old. My 6 yr old prefers the Huggies overnites, but she wears the Walgreens brand because I told her it saves us money and that is one way she can help us have money for fun things she likes to do like Chuck E. Cheese.

I've heard awesome things about CVD supreme diapers.

I like the target Up&Up as a basic diaper as long as we are home. If we go out it's pampers.

I've had great luck at target regarding pampers cruisers. LAst night I found 100 ct size 4 on clearance for $15. They also had other sizes. Check out the clearance end caps.

I used to get great deals on Target clearance all the time, I never see clearance on the endcaps anymore. I hope it starts back up again!
