TIP - Cheapest Way to Buy Diapers

Diapers get pretty expensive! After much research, the conclusion is that the cheapest way to buy diapers - Huggies or Pampers -is through Amazon.com.

Here is how:
Amazon.com considers diapers to be part of their Grocery area. And they offer $10 off Grocery items if you purchase $49 or more and FREE SHIPPING.

Let's do the math with an example:

At a supermarket or drugstore:

Huggies Baby Shaped Diapers Size 3 Both Mega Pack
Price: $15.99
Size: 60 CT PKG
Unit price: $.27 per diaper


At Amazon.com:

Huggies Baby-Shaped Diapers, Size 3 Pack of 144 Diapers
Price: $29.99
Size: 144 CT PKG
Unit price: $.21 per diaper

then if you buy two of these packages for $29.99 x 2 = $59.98, then you will get $10 off by using promo code grocery3, your total comes out to $49.98! And free shipping! That comes out to unit price of $.17 per diaper. You will save $.10 per diaper then if you brought the diapers through the supermarket or drugstores. Hey, if you think about how many diapers your baby goes through, that is a lot of money!

Here is the link to Amazon.com:
Amazon.com Diapers

UPDATE January 19, 2007: Amazon.com stopped accepting the grocery3 promo code and does not offer $10 off anymore but the shipping is still free on grocery with SuperSaver Shipping. The cost of diapers on Amazon.com is still good and you don't have to lug big diaper packs home!

Great info! I need all the money I can save. Sure beats cutting coupons and carrying those big bags of diapers home from the store!

Thanks for doing the math! I am coupon girl but I might have to try Amazon. Like the other girl said, hate bringing home big diaper boxes from the store. Especially when you are carrying a child!
