I've been stocking up on Pampers Swaddlers for baby #3 but I went to Costco yesterday and for the same about of diapers in a pack, Kirkland brand were $14.99 for size 2 while Pampers are $38. That's a huge difference! Do the cost of diapers matter to you or do you just buy whatever works and suck up the cost? Kirkland has worked for E since she was about 6 months (but we only used Pampers before then) so I'm hoping they'll work for this baby!
-
cost was ALWAYS a factor for me - I like to pay 13-15 cents per diaper
-
We pay $79.99 every month for diapers and wipes for Honest diapers.. When DS was younger and not a pooping machine (he poops 5-6x a day), we got Honest boxes every 6 weeks.
-
We started using pampers Swaddlers and like them so I've never bothered switching. I order thru amazon subscribe and save. The cost difference just wasn't enough for me to really care about.
-
Not a mama here, I have a question. What do you do with extra diapers once your baby outgrew one size? Give 'em away? I always feel like there's big potential for waste there. Is it always buy bulk but not use up, or buy little by little and not save much?
-
@snowjewelz: with LO going through 15 diapers a day we know when we will run out versus size up. The sizes overlap so you can size up before you hit the size limit.
-
same as @yoursilverlining.
-
@HLK208: I've only bought pampers on sale - I don't think I've paid over 33 for a bulk box.
-
@MrsH: Ah, thanks!
-
Pampers were $46 a box at BJ's and I just couldn't stomach that anymore. Now we buy Luvs which are $29.99 for the big box. I will probably switch much quicker if we have another one.
The best deal was the big amazon Mom incentive when we got two of the biggest boxes of Huggies for $21.
-
@MrsH: $38 is what I usually buy them for at target but amazon is probably less
-
My LO is almost 17 months old in Pampers swaddlers. We spend maybe $30 a month at most just buying 70 packs off the shelf at the grocery store, but our daycare provides diapers so we only use about 2 diapers a day during the week.
-
I always stock up when I find a good sale.
Got a few boxes of Pampers Baby Dry 180 ct. for $10 before Christmas. I literally did a dance when I got home. -
@snowjewelz: it's always a risk, of course. I had an extra package of size 3 diapers that we were not able to use and I have a lot of swim diapers in too small sizes.
-
Even with S&S we pay about 23 cents/diaper. I am pretty loyal to Pampers Swaddlers and direct delivery, so it's worth it to me.
-
@snowjewelz: we have ended up with leftovers, especially in the smaller sizes when LO was growing at breakneck speeds
I donate to a local organization that houses pregnant girls/new moms who have no where else to go. They take open packages.
-
@snowjewelz: We order diapers through Amazon S&S and the boxes are sized pretty accurately to be one month's worth of diapers. Like @MrsH: said, the sizes overlap, so it's not that big of a deal... when one size starts getting tight, I switch my order for the next month to the next size up. I have friends who way over-ordered at the beginning, though (mostly NB size) and gave them to me because DD was small-waisted and stayed in NB and size 1 *forever.*
-
@cmomma17: Yes! Diaper banks are always in need of donations.
-
We buy diapers when they're on sale. For DS, we try to utilize all the diapers before sizing up. So daytime when diaper changes are more frequent, we'll use the diaper he's about to outgrow, while using the next size up for overnight diaper since we don't change that. We continue this until we run out of the "smaller" diaper.
-
Thanks ladies and sorry @HLK208 for hijacking your thread for a moment
-
I find that target diapers are the cheapest, and just as good as the others. Luvs with a coupon at BJ's are also a good deal, but still more than target.
-
We use 7th generation and I paid $14.50 for a box of 62. They're regularly 19.99 but I shop the sales and stock up.
-
I use Target brand. Last time I bought them I got the bulk pack--138 diapers for $25.99, plus I had a 10% off Cartwheel coupon, plus the 5% off RedCard....so around $22?
And then I also get a box of Huggies Overnites for nighttime, and that's 50 diapers for $18.39 with S&S.
-
We use target brand too!
-
@lovehoneybee: same, we use the Target brand and always use the cartwheel app.
-
We send the Target brand to daycare since he gets changed so much but use Pampers at home. I don't really know why so I might just move to getting all Target. I really liked the wetness indicator on Pampers when he was younger. We'll stick with Pampers overnights though. Those are worth it to me.
-
I have always bought through amazon pampers swaddlers. But I'm trying to cut costs in some areas and recently bought 7th gen because they were on sale and like them.
-
Price is definitely a huge factor for us. For the first 4 months or so, we used the diaper stash that I had built up while pregnant - mostly Huggies and Pampers that I had gotten for really great prices. Once that ran out we just couldn't justify spending so much more for brand name, so we use Target during the day and Huggies at night. It's saved us a ton; I usually pay anywhere from .12-.16 a diaper depending on sales.
-
We switched to Honest because all other brands were causing LO to get a rash.
-
@littlek: This is true for us too.
DD has super sensitive skin. At 3 months, she started to react negatively to Huggies which was a bummer since we were gifted lots of Huggies diapers at my babyshower. Luckily I was able to return the unopened boxes at Target and Costco (gift receipts were included with the gifts). We had some pampers to try for DD and she agrees with pampers too. So we use both Honest (for overnights and travels) and pampers baby dry during the day.
I like to watch for the deals at Target. I bought 2 boxes at $34.99 each of size 3 pampers, got a $15 target gift card to use later when buying 2 boxes, used $2.50 off with pampers coupon, and also used my red card for some more instant savings. Honest diapers is just their standard pricing via their website. I order in batches every few months since I don't use their monthly service.
-
I only use pampers and try to price match.
Last diaper purchase was 256 diapers for 43.76. (128x2 at 21.88 each; regularly 39.99$). Better deal than the biggest box at 192 diapers for 49.99$.
-
We have been buying Huggies at Costco but we started using Honest and they seem to help her rashes.
-
Pampers Cruisers exclusively and I stock up when they're on sale. BRU recently had the 120+ box for $29.99 and I purchased the max allowed. Sam's Club also frequently runs a $10 off promotion (regularly $45) for the big box.
