For those who use disposable diapers

**Budgetmom** · 07-04-2005, 03:01 PM

How much do you spend on them per month? Where do you buy them? What brand do you buy? What size box/bag do you buy? Do you use coupons? Do you have any other money saving strategies for buying diapers I should know about? How many diapers do you go through per day on average? Trying to see if I could be doing better in this area.

Thanks in advance for the input.

I go through about 6-8 diapers a day.

I'm guessing we spend about $40-$50 bucks a month on diapers. We use Huggies. Sometimes, I have coupons. I buy them at Target or Walmart. We buy a box sometimes, when we see good deals on them, but we found that the bags of 60 (or whatever number) works well for us.

If your child can wear store brand diapers, White Cloud rock (Walmart's brand) or Kirkland brand (Costco). We can't use them because my little guy's patoot is sensitive to any changes, but I've used both brands when my oldest was in diapers and I LOVED them! They were absorbent and I never had a leak.

I absolutely love Kroger brand diapers! Rite-Aid brand are good, too. Kroger puts the Super Mega packs on sale generally at 11.99, and I usually stock up then.

I use Pampers Cruisers and I usually wait til they are on sale and I have a coupon.

I LOVED Luvs but once Ryan was up and moving alot the waistband kept rubbing him and broke him out so while they are little they are great!

We probably go through 6 a day for Ingrid. I buy whatever is on sale that I have a coupon for because she's not sensitive to changes. My faves are Pamper's though. I always use my calculator to find out how much they are per diaper to be sure I'm getting the best deal. Around $0.10-0.11 per diaper I will stock up; more than that I just buy what I need.

DD's only in disposables while I work (cloth at home) so we use the cheapest. Usually it's Dri-Bottoms at Walmart for less than $6 per pack. The grandparents have never mentioned a leaking problem and she's never had a reaction. I usually send 6 diapers for the 8-9 hours I'm gone, plus she's in one, and they go through 3-5 of them. We buy a pack every 2-4 weeks.
