Does anyone have a rule of thumb as to when the best time to buy diapers at target is. I know it's during the gift card sales, but which deals are the best. I know some are better than others. Also, which coupons can be used with those?

I buy Huggies and usually get them at Target. I use the deal scenarios on sites like Hip2Save or Totally Target to tell me which coupons to use.

I subscribe to blogs like Totally Target and All Things Target and wait for them to tell me! The better deals are when you can get a high value GC and only buy 2, or there are multiple promotions to stack!
I stock up when those happen so then I can usually wait till the next "good deal". I will also order from Amazon, Jet, Diapers.com if a blog I follow is report an amazing deal also.

Try to calculate out what your final cost per diaper is going to be and compare that. Its going to vary per size but it gives you an idea.

The best Target deals are when there's a gift card for a general baby-related purchase (like $25 gift card for a baby purchase of $125 or more), doubled with a gift card deal for the diapers themselves (like $10 gift card when you buy 2 giant boxes of diapers). What you want to do at that point is stack that with a manufacturer coupon ($3 off a box of Pampers/Huggies) and/or a Target cartwheel deal (10% off Up and Up diapers, for instance). The $25 giftcard for $125 baby purchase is a threshold deal, meaning as long as you hit the total before coupons, you're fine.
When I was pregnant with DS1, they had $20 gift cards for $100 baby purchases, and then $10 gift cards for 2 boxes of diapers (which were $24.99 a box), so I put $3 off manufacturer coupons on 4 boxes, then hit the $100 threshold with an up&up baby lotion (which cost $1.98, but I had a $1 off coupon). Then I would get my $40 in gift cards, 4 more $3 off diaper coupons, and another baby lotion coupon and do the deal again. I think I stopped at the point I had like 700 diapers and then used the gift cards I had left from the most recent round on wipes - if I recall there was also some sweet deal on up&up wipes or something and I ended up with a bunch of economy size boxes of those too.
The second time I did something similar was when DS was 6 months old. It was $25 giftcards for $125 in baby purchases and they had these giant promotional boxes of Huggies that included a big box of wipes in the clearance section for $18 a piece. I had $3 off coupons for Huggies and Cartwheel so I came home with like 7 giant boxes of diapers and wipes for a little over $100 out of pocket, plus a $25 gift card. Unfortunately my husband HATED Huggies, so it was a long 5-6 months of him bitching at me about Huggies, but totally worth it!
