I love to coupon, so last week I decided I'd start clipping and using diaper coupons, instead of just throwing them away.
In this Sunday's paper was a $3.00 off Huggies Coupon and Food Lion had a $1.50 off coupon. Publix had their boxes of Huggies on sale $3.00 off. So I took my $7.50 worth of coupons to Publix and bought my first (of many, I'm sure!) box of diapers!
I also had a coupon for $1.50 off wipes, and since they were on sale, I bought a pack of those too.
I wasn't sure what size to get so I erred on the big size, I figured he grow into them. Man, baby stuff is kinda confusing!
I'm not sure if I'll be a Pampers of Huggies mom, but a $7.50 savings meant I'll at least try the Huggies!
Huggies has the best Wipes!!! Im excited for you!
ReplyDeletecheck out coupons.com I always get huggies my huggies coupons on there.
ReplyDeleteOr I trade them on message boards. We don't use pampers so I trade for huggies. I do the same with formula checks.
And I like diapers.com, b/c sometimes the huggies coupons are for the pure & natural, and I don't like those. But when I mail them in, they let me use them on whichever type of Huggies I want.
And size comparison, your little guy is now a bit bigger than Colin. We are just about to start Colin in size 3 Huggies once we are out of the size 2 that we have. So maybe don't buy smaller than a 3, as that is what I would guess him to wear right now.
My (hopefully) helpful advice for today!
I buy either huggies or pampers depending on which one I have a coupon for. Huggies usually has better coupons, but you should sign up at both websites - they mail out constantly. However, Huggies wipes are the best - pampers wipes are no good! If it helps, Will still wears a size 3 (except at night) so I would definitely stock up on at least size 3.
ReplyDeleteI think I am the only one that hate Huggies wipes so far. They never "tear" cleanly...I always end up with 1 1/2 wipes. I love the Pampers thick care ones though.
ReplyDeleteBefore Colin was born I went back and searched for Casey's post where she reviewed diapers...I think she needs to make a linky on her side bar that connects right to it. I found it very helpful!
We don't really like Huggies diapers, but we buy them when we have good coupons. :)
ReplyDeleteAndrew has been in size 3 diapers FOREVER. He moved through the other sizes very quickly (I am pretty sure he has been in size 3 since he was about 5 months old). I'm pretty sure you can always take them back and swap them for a different size if you need to, though.
ML, I am so excited for you guys, and I love how you have so thoughtfully shared your story with your blog. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
