We were considering (or should I say I was considering) cloth diapers this time around to help save us money on the diapers. But, I never could fully convince Jarrod and once someone introduced me to Amazon Mom, I realized how I could get cheap diapers! So, here's what you do.
First of all, start searching your parenting magazines for postcard sized coupons from Amazon. They're in Parents, Fit Pregnancy, Parenting, and Baby Talk for sure. Babies R Us and Burlington Coat Factory often have copies of these magazines for free for moms, so check there, too.
Then, sign up on Amazon.com for the Amazon Mom program. There you'll get discounts on diapers, wipes and other items you'll need for Baby along with free two day shipping. When you click on the product you want, select the Subscribe and Save option (from what I've found this isn't always available for all products). Then you basically sign up to have the product delivered on an automatic basis every month or two. By doing this, you get an even bigger discount, and you can go in and cancel your subscription at any time. Before finalizing your order, enter your coupon code for the added discount. Certain coupons can even be stacked, allowing you to use more than one per order.
Now, to sweeten the deal, use Swagbucks! If you sign up for Swagbucks [http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/mrspate22] you can earn Amazon gift cards! What you do is use Swagbucks.com for your search engine instead of Google or whichever one you currently use. I'll be honest and tell you it isn't always the greatest search engine, but I always use it first, and then try Google if I'm not happy with the results. Randomly when searching, you'll be awarded 'bucks' that accumulate. When you get to 450, you can get a $5 Amazon gift card. I started using it about 4 months ago and have earned 4 gift cards.
So, when you take into account my Subscribe and Save discount, my coupon codes, and my Swagbucks gift cards, I've paid a total out of pocket of $6.63 for 2 cases of Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive diapers...over 300 diapers for less than $7! That's about $0.02 per diaper. :)
