Great price on diapers!

If you need cloth or disposable diapers there is a good deal at diapers.com right now if you are a new customer. You can get $10 off your first order and free shipping if you spend more than $49. This just requires a coupon code – you can use my referral code EMIL1867 to get the $10 off and I actually get a $5 credit to my account too. This deal is always available.

What makes it a great deal though is you can get a free subscription to Parenting magazine with your first order or a rebate of $14.97. I’m opting for the mail-in rebate which would mean if you spend $49 you would only pay $24.03 (no tax or shipping of course!). I already have a diapers.com account so I’m going to use my husband’s email and start an account for him. Here is the link to the magazine rebate. http://www.diapers.com/HelpCenter/Parenting.htm

I am going to purchase three cloth bumgenius diapers and will spend less than $10 a piece on them with no shipping or tax by the time the order is complete. Normally they would be $17.95 each. They also carry Fuzzi Bunz, Happy Heiny’s and other brands.

They are also having a disposable diaper sale and Pampers, Huggies and Luvs are all on sale. I figured out this scenario for getting five jumbo packs of Pampers or Huggies for about $30:

Jumbos of Huggies and Pampers are $10.99 on sale at Diapers.com (not a good price, I know). Spend $49 or more and get $10 off your order as a first-time shopper with the coupon code. Plus, get the $14.97 rebate (or a free subscription to Parenting magazine). That’s like paying $29.98 out of pocket for five jumbos, shipped for less than $6 each! If you got the Luvs they would be even cheaper. And if you choose Pampers there is an instant manufacturers rebate you can choose when you are putting them in your cart to save an additional $1.

They also sell a lot of other baby related items: formula, baby gear, baby food, clothing and shoes from brands like Gerber, Robeez; BPA-free feeding from Born Free and Nuby, natural toiletries from Berts Bees and Avalon Organics, etc. so you could get a deal if you needed any of these items.

If you use upromise you can get rewards I believe also.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help! Diapers.com customer service is great too and if there is any problem with the coupon code they can just apply it over the phone.

If you get any great deals with this promo code/rebate, leave a comment and share!

Fuzzi Bunz

We have started using cloth diapers thanks to my wonderful friend Kim, who let us borrow a ton of diapers to give them a try. So, thus far I have tried Fuzzi Bunz, Bumgenius and Indian prefolds with a Litewrap cover. And, the winner is... Fuzzi Bunz! Hands down it is the easiest to use and the best for Charlie's little bum. The only drawback is they are probably one of the most expensive ways to cloth diaper your baby. And because one of our main reasons for going this route is to save money, I am having to get creative to buy the Fuzzi Bunz. I have purchased 11 on Craig's List for $7 each (including inserts) and two on Ebay for $10 each (including inserts). I you purchase them brand new they are about $18. They are available as seconds for about $14 but this doesn't include an insert.

Why do I love Fuzzi Bunz?
1) The snaps seem easier to use then velcro
2) They are so easy to use, that even grandmas don't complain!
3) Because they come in different sizes they seem to be a better fit than the one size fits all
4) They are much better at night than a prefold/cover combo
5) They aren't nearly as bulky as prefolds
6) The colors they come in are fabulous
7) Charlie's little bum is as cute as can be in them

I do have one disclaimer, I will be using these for Charlie and using bumgenius 3.0's for Della. This is mainly to save costs. The bumgenius work great also but because they are one size Della should be able to wear them until she fits into Charlie's large Fuzzi Bunz and I won't have to purchase a third set of diapers.
