How do you get your diapers free or cheap?

[5swans0805]

Ok - I have posted this before, not the diaper question, but the fact we are adopting a little girl from China!!! I have 2 boys, and did good with getting diapers discounted, but nothing like what I have read on here! Less than $1 - $3 a pack!!!!!!!

Give me the tips!! I can not double, I only have Wags, Wal-Mart, & Target and can get to Dillon's if it is a great deal, but honestly!

I don't have a lot of RR, just b/c I don't have a lot of extra time to shop several places, I homeschool, and I live in a really small town, and everyone at Wags knows me!

Thanks! I am excited to hear what you all do!

I'm expecting in a few months and what I've done is at Target mainly $3 huggies printable, with $3 huggies target q. Add that along with 3 Scrubbing Bubbles extend a clean (1 $5 manu q, and 1 $3 target q on each) which right now is a $1 MM on each...= 1 free huggies 8.99 pack and 3 free cleaners. It helps that i have 3 home computers, a work, and 2 friends that will print for me as well. I've done this a few times. When I have a $4 or $5 MM at Wags, I've bought a pack too along with a huggies q so I walk out with an item free and diapers free.

I also started doing Huggies rewards about 5 months prior to getting pregnant so I had points built up. After getting the diapers...and adding in those codes, along with the free's I'll be getting another q for free diapers.

And one other thing I've done is swagbucks. I just bought a 70 pk of huggies with my swag $ (used to buy amazon gc's) my total was 25.77 after shipping, used $25 in gcs so that pack cost .77 out of my pocket :) . It takes about 3 months to build up about $25 worth of swagbucks for me, so I should be able to do that 1 -2 more times before baby comes (or baby runs out of the sizes I already have)

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!! Hope that helps in some way

Congrats on your little one! My niece is adopted from China and is the sweetest little girl!

My deals were never that cheap. I stocked up in 2009 and gave birth in 2010. Most all of my diapers are jumbo Huggies packs-I used Huggies coupons-either printables, inserts, directly from the company and combined them loadable Huggies coupons on cellfire and shortcuts(they no longer off these anymore). I would wait until they went on sale $8.99 at Dillions and then used my coupons (my mom did this too for me). I paid $4.99 a pack which is really good in my area since there is not much shopping selection.

Funny story, over Thanksgiving we went to visit family in a town that had a Hyvee store. Their Black Friday ad had Huggies for $5.99 and I had luckly brought my coupons. My hubby and I got up early to do black Friday shopping. I had him drop me off at Hyvee at 5am as a line was forming with other Black Friday Shoppers. Everyone in line was talking about how they were there to score one of the few Big HD TV's or MP3 players, they asked me which I was there for-the TV or the MP3 player-I said "neither, I'm here for the Huggies." They thought I was nuts, but I did end up getting about 10 jumbo packs total that day and spent $2.99-3.99 a pack! lol

I think rachelle gave a great tip when it comes to swagbucks. That's how I've been able to stock up most of my wipes stockpile lately. The diaper deals that pop up on amazon are pretty great, and using "FREE" money just takes the cake.

Since you live in a small town and can't get to wags as frequently as you would want, I think going this route might be great for you. If you haven't signed up for swagbucks, it's great. AND! you can enlist family members to help you out by having them sign up under you as your referrals. Every time they use the search engine and win "bucks," you win. You'll have a great amount of bucks to use in no time. I've gotten about 450 dollars in amazon gift cards in about 9 months, mostly from referrals.

OH MY! That's awesome, I'm extra jealous :) I had 4 people sign up under me and my dad is the only one that truly did it and he maxed out the referral pts. Everyone else looks like they quit after about 1 week! I need to recruit some more. Free $ is awesome!

I haven't paid for diapers since 2007. I've used overage, RRs, ECBs, rebates, etc. to pay for them. Walgreen's used to be much easier to do, though. I haven't been there in ages. I build my ECBs up with moneymakers, blow it on diapers, then build it back up again. I also used to do Rite Aid. My youngest is 17m old and I made it a goal to NOT pay for his diapers at all, and so far, I've done it!

Like PP said, use overage from other items to pay for your diapers. Use "currency" from the stores, not your cash. Keep things rolling as best you can.

I watch out for Target sales generally. I can get diapers pretty cheap sometimes when they do the giftcard deals plus TQ and MQ.
I don't shop Walgreens or CVS enough to accumulate enough RRs or ECBs. I try not to pay more than $.10 a diaper.

Dillons doubles...won't help with the diapers...but can help with the wipes coupons.

I probably get most at target...I stock up when I have Target coupons and insert or IP coupons. go to target and sign up for the baby registery...that will help you get target baby coupons.


If you ever get LUV's coupons...I try and use those at dollar general or family dollar as they have better luv prices.

I live in a small town too...and drive an hour to Dillons...so I feel your pain!

Wow, I have a 4 year old in diapers (well...pull-ups) due to a disability and a 10 month old in diapers and I think the cheapest pack of diapers I've ever gotten was $4 LOL. I've just been buying the cheap packs at Dollar General. They are some of the best diapers I've ever purchased leak-wise. I've gone through 3 packs so far and not one leak, which is GREAT because I am used to at least 2 diapers out of every pack causing a leak.
