You can get these diapers starting at ~$5! They have several different styles and some are just like BG or other well known brands. There is also Kawaii Diapers which have good reviews too and these start ~$7. I haven't used either personally, but I know people that do IRL and love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695948 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 09:27:25 +0000 shopaholic 695948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695764 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 07:25:17 +0000 dagret 695764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: we are almost through our first case of luvs. I thought I'd hate them but I really like them. We've had a couple leaks and one blowout, but we've had those with Huggies and pampers too. So I think we're sticking with luvs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695651 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:04:06 +0000 loveisstrange 695651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: i agree with the WalMart brand baby snacks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695638 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:20:41 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 695638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not like the bru wipes. Stiff and hard to pull out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695631 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:41:06 +0000 HLK208 695631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Kirkland wipe user! They are the only wipes that don't give DD a rash and they're such a good price. We also use Kirkland diapers. Only have had one leak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695627 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:32:12 +0000 78h2o 695627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I concur that BRU diapers suck. I mainly dislike them because they seemed stiff and scratchy - not soft like huggies or pampers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695591 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:28:54 +0000 wheres_c 695591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BJ 's is like Costco or SAMs club! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695587 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:26:59 +0000 shopaholic 695587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question: What is BJ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695562 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:10:02 +0000 wheres_c 695562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the target brand breast milk bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695254 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:40:44 +0000 twinmama 695254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree on the target dye free liquid tylenol. Its like 3.79 a bottle vs. 6.99 for the pediacare. So nice, esp once they are taking bigger doses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695249 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:38:33 +0000 bpcmarj 695249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And, as far as diapers, we have 100% switched to luvs. They are about half the price of Pampers at BJs and they seem to always have coupons for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695246 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:37:12 +0000 bpcmarj 695246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the BJs brand baby wipes (in the red box). They are so cheap and work great. I like the BJs soft cloyhs, too because they are stretchier, but they are thinner, too. BJs diapers don't have stretchy enough sides for my skinny girl to get a good fit, and they feel like paper on the outside so they rub really bad on her.</p> <p>Those of you in MA and NH, I have heard very good things about Market Basket diapers. I used one from a friend and it worked well.</p> <p>I always buy target brand puffs and yogurt melts, and she loves them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695237 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:33:12 +0000 photojane 695237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use generic brand of almost everything... except diaps. We tried the BRU regular and "supreme" and they suck something awful. We've had both pee &amp; poo leaks in both, and she doesn't even go that much at a time. We stick to Pampers now. The Walmart brand of Enfamil Gentlease is $15 less, and works like a charm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-695231 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:29:41 +0000 shopaholic 695231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh! Like this thread! And going to check out Kirkland wipes now! I get a lot of generic stuff from Target but found I don't like their wipes too much for actually using on baby's bum. Now they're just my hand wipes!<br /> Subbing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694740 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:49:47 +0000 CottonCandy 694740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Target version of Playtex Drop Ins (the liners) work exactly the same as the brand name drop ins liners..And they are less expensive. I also like generic medicines rather than name brands such as "Tylenol" b/c you never seem to hear much of a recall on generic meds..Just the name brand ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694396 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:13:15 +0000 MrsRoo 694396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing for all these great tips ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694363 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:04:06 +0000 mediagirl 694363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Walmart brand of puffs and yogurt melts have the same ingredients as the Gerber ones and they are almost half the price! Also, they're delicious. Not that I eat half the bag of the melts or anything....</p> <p>Kirkland wipes ROCK!</p> <p>And in case you're wondering, I've tried the Walmart brand diapers and they were awful. Just...awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694361 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:02:17 +0000 regberadaisy 694361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use BJ wipes exclusively and have used their diapers. I think daycare uses BJ diapers exclusively and they're super absorbent! Heard good things about Walgreen wipes and any of the Up&amp; up target brand. My niece was exclusively on BR'US diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694343 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:57:24 +0000 dagret 694343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great input...keep 'em coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694335 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:53:12 +0000 StbHisMrs 694335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I actually like the Kirkland brand diapers over Huggies, I think Huggies leak more and smell worse. Funny how every baby is different! We also use the Kirkland wipes and Formula. I haven't tried any other generic brands that I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694276 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:33:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 694276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costco (Kirkland) wipes are great but they also carry Huggies Naturals that with a coupon are pretty price comparable. </p> <p>I love the Target dye free medicines. Great for kids that spit it all out. Plus its cheaper so I can have a bottle in the diaper bag, a bottle at daycare, and a bottle at home. </p> <p>We did not care for the Target diapers but I guess they did the job fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694183 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:57:38 +0000 Weagle 694183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the Target brand aquaphor. Actually, I love most Target brand items! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694176 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:55:19 +0000 rawrasaur 694176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like most store brand wipes (HEB, CVS, Kirkland). Haven't been a fan of the store brand diapers we have bought. We don't really use enough of anything else yet to have tried multiple brands, but I will definitely keep a close eye on this thread for the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694147 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:43:58 +0000 Sammyfab 694147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really like the Kirkland wipes. The diapers are fine but they smell like urine. I also like the Walmart brand (Parent's Choice) for diaper cream. Same ingredients as most other brands but costs way less!</p> <p>For Canadian bees, the Life Brand at Shoppers for wipes is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694145 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:43:50 +0000 anbanan15 694145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the Target version for most products. We use their brand of freeze dried fruits (Acher Farms I think it is) and their dye free meds are the only ones DS can tolerate. We also use their version of Aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694139 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:40:50 +0000 .twist. 694139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/surpringly-good-generic-baby-items#post-694132 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:37:22 +0000 Bao 694132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting thread! I can't wait to see what people have to say.
