I hope I still have time to place an order. We take family pictures this weekend that's why I am wondering how long it takes to get your order? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1970086 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 01:08:01 +0000 mauxie 1970086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update--</p> <p>Got my cards today! They turned out wonderfully so the zoom thing on the website wasn't an issue with the actual print. Yay! Thanks again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1946102 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 19:11:06 +0000 mauxie 1946102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @mrs. wagon: @Mrs. High Heels: @Mrs.Panda: @Honeydew: Thanks everyone! I definitely find the website clunky but am going to go ahead and order! Now it's just a matter of deciding on a card design. If they end up blurry I'll just return them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1945908 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 10:21:42 +0000 Honeydew 1945908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used them for our birth announcements and were very happy with the quality. We probably will use them for our Christmas cards this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1945708 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 21:57:17 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1945708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend used them for her save the dates for her wedding and the quality was outstanding. The picture she used was a cell phone picture, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1945703 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 21:54:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1945703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've bought photo cards and canvas prints from Costco - excellent quality! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1945664 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:57:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 1945664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get them every year and I've done photo books with them. The quality is outstanding. Usually you will get a warning if you try to zoom in too far for the quality of the photo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1945621 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 20:05:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1945621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had friends use their photo printing services and been very happy. Not sure if cards are different. Usually Costco has a money back guarantee so if you aren't happy I'm they would refund them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/greeting-cards-by-costco#post-1945512 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 17:54:59 +0000 mauxie 1945512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone used Costco Greeting cards? The website is terrible!! </p> <p>When I "zoom" a high-res photo to crop it how I like, it comes out terribly blurry in the "Preview."</p> <p>Does anyone know, do they really come out printed like that, or is it just the website? Ugh! I really wanted to use Costco this year for the value.... </p> <p>:bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658591 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:26:14 +0000 stlginkgo 658591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! My girl friend just came over today and was raving about the amazon subscribe and save! I had never heard of it until now. I am thinking about comparing it to Costco. (Although I live so close to Costco I also am not sure it would really be worth it for me....) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658587 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:24:51 +0000 stlginkgo 658587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658558 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:08:22 +0000 ladyfingers 658558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a nearby Costco so we have started doing amazon subscribe and save. We needed diapers and wipes and since I have Amazon prime I joined Amazon mom for free and got 20% off those. If you place five subscriptions that arrive in the same month you get 15% off instead of the standard 5% (diapers and wipes count toward five but you don't get an addt'l 15% off those).</p> <p>I ordered a box of 204 size 2 diapers, a box of 700 wipes, 20 huge rolls of paper towels, 6 bottles of seventh generation dish washing soap, and a bottle of method laundry detergent (50 loads) for just under $90. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658547 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:04:11 +0000 Mrsbells 658547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>costco is a better deal on the huggies natural care wipes, but amazon has the best deal on pampers diapers since costco doesnt carry pampers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658441 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:28:41 +0000 mrs. 64 658441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um both!? I use them both for different things. I don't buy diapers or baby stuff yet, so I can't say anything about that. Costco's toilet paper, paper towels, grocery bags, detergent etc. are super cheap. Sometimes the size is a good thing (only have to buy trash bags like once a year!) and other times it's not so good (seriously did I need that much sugar??) I also buy a lot of non-perishable food that is hard to get around here on amazon subscribe and save. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658431 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:23:55 +0000 StbHisMrs 658431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't say enough good things about costco, I shop there monthly. We have a large family and buy almost everything in bulk. I just bought the Kirkland brand diapers with a $5 off coupon which made them .20 each (size 5) .24 each without a coupon. Both Huggies and Kirkland are the same price with the same amount as well. When LO was on formula we'd buy her formula there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-658252 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:28:47 +0000 Weagle 658252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, man. I'm a Costco fanatic. It's definitely worth it for things like paper goods, garbage bags, detergents, etc. I also get all of our razor blades, vitamins, and other toiletries there. I think for a lot of items, it may not be cheaper, but it's worth it to not have to buy them constantly. And the store brand (Kirkland) is actually really good. And they treat their employees well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657461 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:29:06 +0000 dookie32 657461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah- we do toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher soap, trash bags (definitely a bargain), laundry detergent. I think it's worth it for those. We are only a family of 3 so I like getting the bigger sizes for those things so I don't have to worry about buying them for a few months. Same thing with the household stuff though- there are only certain brands and not a lot of variety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657454 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:27:30 +0000 MamaMoose 657454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: We joined costco recently thinking we would use it for diapers.. but instead have just stuck with pampers. But for us we really didn't hesitate because we now buy our gas a costco and because of my husband's long commute the gas savings alone pay for the $55 membership fee so it was a no lose situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657442 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:24:55 +0000 littlek 657442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear Costco is good for vacation deals.. has anyone used that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657415 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:19:43 +0000 pui 657415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in Canada and we don't have the same Amazon you American's do (I really hope they expand up here eventually)! We have a Costco membership which we use all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657406 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:17:52 +0000 littlek 657406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dookie32: We use pampers, so it doesn't sound like diapers would be something to purchase there. Maybe for things like toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, etc, it might be better?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657257 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:42:48 +0000 dookie32 657257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Costco membership. I got it to buy formula but I do also buy wipes there (Kirkland brand) and some grocery/household items. I think to save money you need to be a knowledgeable shopper and know what's really a bargain. For baby stuff, I think it really depends on what brands that you use. They only carry certain diaper brands (Huggies and Kirkland) so if your LO only uses a certain brand of diapers, like Pampers, you're better off on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657185 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:28:21 +0000 regberadaisy 657185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't shop at Costco but next time DH is there I would have him note the prices of the items you're thinking about. Then compare it to the Amazon prices.</p> <p>I shop at BJs and for diapers S&amp;S is stil cheaper even when I stack BJ coupons with manf coupons! Same for all the other household stuff bc I can use coupons at BJs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-vs-amazon-subscribe-and-save#post-657150 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:18:45 +0000 littlek 657150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Amazon subscribe and save for diapers, wipes and household products. A neighbor was recently raving about Costco. I have never been to Costco. How do the prices compare to Amazon? Is it worth it? We would be looking at it for diapers, wipes and household products. DH loves his weekly grocery trip to Harris Teeter, so we wouldn't be grocery shopping at Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-size-4-diapers#post-609337 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 12:35:53 +0000 anbanan15 609337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a package of Luvs once and you could feel all the granules of gel inside the diaper much more than other brands. I returned the pack. </p> <p>@MerryC: Yay for cloth!! It really does save in the long run, IMO. It pains me that we cannot use our stash right now. :( Hope it works out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-size-4-diapers#post-609331 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 12:28:39 +0000 twinmama 609331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all! I really appreciate the advice. It's so overwhelming to read all the reviews with so many diaper options!</p> <p>@tysonja: Yes! I will definitely be returning a few boxes to Costco. It's dissapointing, and I always feel bad returning open/used stuff, but they are always really great about it.</p> <p>@anbanan15: thanks for the encouragement on cloth! I visited a cloth diaper shop yesterday and got a few flips and bumgenius to try. I did the math, and even with twins, we'd break even on cost in 6 months or less, even with cheap (20 cent) disposables! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-size-4-diapers#post-608908 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 02:23:24 +0000 lemondrop 608908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do the Pampers Sensitive due to sensitive skin issues. I try not to look at the price when I buy them, since they are what works for us- no irritation, no gel, and no leaks. I have never noticed the gel stuff using Pampers, but did all the time when I tried Huggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-size-4-diapers#post-608868 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:38:20 +0000 teamjse 608868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pampers sensitive, it's on my Amazon subscribe and save, I think it's $39 (sorry crappy memory). LO have eczema and its the only brand of diapers he's not allergic to, never had a leak, they are wonderful. </p>
