I always check the end racks of aisles for clearance items at Target and I have found packs of diapers that had a rip in the packaging or were being discontinued, marked way down. Sometimes they were name brand that I had a coupon for and other times they were the store brand but either way it saved me alot. Sometimes they are in wierd places, mixed in with cat grooming supplies and picture frames but I always scan the end aisles for things I need anyway.

Add me to the “I love Target brand” chorus! They’re cheap to start with and occaisionally they have coupons too! I also like the Walgreens brand disposable training pants. (I think the pull up type things are WORTHLESS for potty training, but if you’re wrestling a little boy determined to stay naked it’s easier to pull up than fasten a diaper!) Also once I realized Isaac would go either in his pants or in his potty but no where else, I started taking his pants off and letting him run aroun half naked at home!!! Even when he had the stomach flu last month he made it to the pottty when he was awake!! WAY better than diapers!

I also shop a lot at BJ’s and stack their coupon with manufactored coupons and wait for sells and get 156 diapers sometimes for as low as $25.00

My child wear size 5 which a normal pack has 27 in them, in which I would have to buy almost 6 packs to equal same number and most of the time cheaper

I am trying to be better at using coupons to save, but I am saving on diapers by using amazon. We use Seventh Generation diapers and they are only available at babiesrus for $11 a package, which is very inconvenient. So we have ours set up to have a case delivered every month from Amazon ($0.33/diaper) with free shipping and because we have it set up automatically we get some kind of a discount, 10% I think. Not as impressive as some of your deals, but I have never had to run out and get diapers. One less errand I need to run. I also have wipes set up the same way.

I love Target diapers! At 13.97 a box, they are a great deal and work just as good as Huggies in my opinion. At size five, they cost me $.13 each. I never found Huggies cheeper than that. Now that we are pregnant with twins, we are going to try cloth diapering to cut back on the expense, but I will still buy Target brand for outings and travel! Also, there training pants are much cheeper than Pull-Ups and work really well!

@Julie, Julie, you can't use 2 coupons for the 1 product at Walgreens. So if you are trying to buy 1 pack of diapers and you want to use a RR and a manu coupon, you can't use both. You'd have to use a "filler" item, like an inexpensive piece of candy to use both coupons.

I really loved when we were using 95% cloth because then I could wait for the really awesome diaper deals. Now that we don’t really use cloth so much (they just can’t hold my super duper wetter’s floods anymore), I often find the best deals on Huggies at Target between awesome drug store deals. It helps that there are often Target coupons that I use in addition to manufacturer coupons. I keep saying I’ll try the Target brand when I need some and there isn’t a better deal. So far, that time hasn’t come. I generally shoot for around $.17 or less per diaper for size 3s, but I know it will change when we have to go up a size.

I buy in bulk and stockpile. I hate running out of diapers and making a bunch of trips. I use Diapers.com and try to get referral money. Your first order is especially fantastic because they give you a $10 credit in addition to coupons you can send in and they will price match for you.

I had Pampers Swaddlers price matched to Sam’s Club price of 32.99. From this, I used my $10 credit making a case of 216 diapers 22.99. I wanted to get free shipping so I bought other things I needed to get from 32.99 to $49. (This is easy since they have baby food, clothing, bottles, etc.)

After the $10 credit my price per diaper was less than 11 cents. You get $5 per referral as a credit for their site. Buying in bulk allows me to buy a case every month or so.

I got an awesome deal on diapers at Rite Aid today. Using some excellent coupons we had for Pampers, a free pack of Huggies coupon (earned earlier from Rite Aid by buying multiple packs) and a $5 off coupon from Rite Aid Video Values, we bought 4 packs and some Glide floss for $10.47. We will be getting a $10 card back for spending $30 on P&G so our total will be .47 cents for 1 pack of Huggies, 3 of Pampers and one Glide floss.
