TTC & Stockpiling

Can someone explain the drugstore "reward" programs? Again, I haven't done any shopping at CVS/WAGS/Rite Aid, etc. and don't have a clue about the ECB, etc....

You can get a good deal on Huggies at Target too. If you can match Target IPs, Man. coupons and the giftcard deals, it can turn out to be pretty good deals.

The best way to learn the store deals is to visit the specific store forums- they have FAQ posts that can explain the specifics of each store- they are all different.

I have done very well on Amazon between the $10 and 20% off codes and subscribe and save discount, free ship. Back in Feb I was getting the large boxes of diapers for just a few dollars OOP - it was less than $.05 per diaper. Its been a few months since I bought them last, so you may want to check the diaper deal thread for any new details on coupons etc.

Then I stopped because I was able to find a much better deal at Target - $10 for the $35 box of diapers and I used GC’s to pay for them so I ended up paying only a few dollars a box. I bought 10 boxes. We still have 6 boxes left and my DS will hopefully be potty trained before he runs out! lol

I am not a huge fan of hugely stocking up on baby items because you may end up wasting money in the long run (personal experience) - but it make work differently for you.

Good Luck in your wedding, in TTC and in shopping! :D

Just try to stay away from the Pampers w/ Dry Max. Many, many newborns, infants and toddlers wind up w/ horrible diaper rash. Picture something equivalent to looking like a chemical burn. My niece came home w/ them from the hospital and my sister couldn't figure out what was wrong w/ her little heiny, yep....dry max. Same for my son. Stay away from it when you start stockpiling. If you prefer Pampers ( I do), their Baby Dry is good, no Dry Max in them.
