However, one of the keys to stockpiling is shopping from more than one store because lots of store limit items purchased and coupons accepted per day. I find that more than two reward programs can be a bit of a chore. It mostly depends on the stores are in your area and how many reward programs you’re willing to keep up with. However, deals can also be found at stores like CVS, Publix, Walgreens, RiteAide, etc. Thankfully the weight recommendations for the sizes overlap.Īlmost anywhere really! I love Target and Kroger, mostly because of their gift card and Catalina (the paper coupons that print after you pay) offers. respectively, we used one box of newborns and then went straight into size 1. For both Zoe and Luke who were 9 and 8.5 lbs. If babies in your family tend to have a birth rate around 5-6 lbs., then you may need more than one box. I personally wouldn’t recommend more than one box of newborns but that’s because I have “big babies”. This will take a bit of guesswork especially if you’re a first-time mom. **I will be coming back to update these numbers with my son’s actual usage.** Based off of my daughter here is a good guestimate of what her first-year usage was. There is no magic formula for this but babies use about 8-10 diapers per day so let’s just use 8 as a good starting point. Couponing isn’t always as easy as it sounds, so I wanted to create a beginners guide to creating diaper (baby) stockpile: Diapers, wipes, baby wash, you name it…I’m pretty sure his closet is a mini baby aisle thanks to me creating a massive baby stockpile in less than two months. See the disclosure policy for more information.My son Luke will be 6 months soon and it gives me a great sense of mommi pride to know that we haven’t had to run to the store for baby items. If you’re leery, set your stock-up price for store brand diapers at $1 per jumbo pack less, or $2.50 per pack. I personally lump all diapers in the same group, so I would buy store brand diapers at $3.50 per jumbo pack. Sometimes you will find a store brand diaper on a great sale, like Walgreens, Walmart, or Albertsons diapers, or on clearance. Note that the more premium diapers in the Huggies and Pampers lines have less diapers per jumbo pack, so make sure you do your “price per size 4” calculations on the Little Snugglers & Little Movers (Huggies), Pure & Natural (Huggies), Swaddlers (Pampers) and Cruisers (Pampers) and don’t just assume that $3.50 per pack will be a good deal. Stock-up when jumbo packs are $3.50 or less Stock-up when size 4 diapers are 13¢ each or less I start buying like a madwoman at $3 per pack. I suggest you don’t even consider deals that are more than $4 per jumbo pack. ![]() This means a jumbo pack of Huggies Snug & Dry needs to be priced below $5 for me to start purchasing them. The Huggies Snug & Dry Jumbo Packs (the cheapest Huggies line) have 31 size 4 diapers per pack. Most diaper deals that involve coupons are on Jumbo packs of Huggies or Pampers (the smallest size packages). Otherwise, it’s a better use of your time to just go to Target and purchase the big box of up&up’s, right? I suggest you start purchasing diapers when you can get Huggies or Pampers for significantly less than 16.1 cents per size 4 diaper. Even if your baby is currently in size 2, just compare the prices for size 4 diapers and you will automatically know if you’re getting a good deal on size 2’s.Ī “Club Pack” of up&up diapers at Target breaks down to 16.1 cents per size 4 diaper. Since it’s my blog, I declare that the size 4 diaper price will be our reference point. This way you only have to memorize one number. To make your life easier, it’s best to choose one size diaper as your price reference point and stick to it until the end of time. This goes for all diapers out there - a Jumbo pack of diapers is the same price, it’s the quantity that is different. The smaller the size diaper, the more diapers are included in the box. Target sells the large box of up&up diapers for $19.99 in the store, regardless of size. I personally like the Target store brand (up&up) a bit better than the others, so we’ll use the up&up prices as our comparison. You start buying diapers when you can get the name brand for less than the generic equivalent at Walmart, Walgreens, Albertsons, or Target. I found some diapers on the clearance rack the other day that worked out to be $.07 each, but this was for the store brand. I realize diapers come in many different sized packages, so I’m not positive how you determine stock up price. ![]() My husband and I are planning on having kids pretty soon and I’d like to start stocking up. Hello! I was wondering if you could help me figure out a good stock up price for diapers. I received this question from Jane, a reader looking for advice on diapers:
