The Cost of Diapers 2010 – February Update

Baby, Big Lots, CVS, Rite Aid, Uncategorized, Walmart
After adding in my diaper purchases for January and February here is what I've spent so far on diapers this year. I will be getting additional rebates for the Rite Aid Pampers and will subtract that when I get it. This last week I got my rebate check from Caregivers Market Place- $12.50!   Not bad for saving my receipts for Huggies diapers and a few other products then at the end of the year I filled out the rebate form.   I will add that $12.50 back into the cost of diapers for this year, since I didn't include that in my calculations last year.  Note:  This year 2010 Caregivers doesn't offer the same rebates as in 2009.

Big Lots Shopping Trip 1/31/2010

Big Lots, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I'm a huge Big Lots fan!  I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again.  I love Big Lots.  Before I got into using coupons I would go to Big Lots on a regular basis.  If you decide you don't want to use coupons I strongly suggest shopping at Big Lots as a great way to save. Now, I will admit my family and I went a little over board!   We were so excited to use the 20% off the entire purchase spent much more then I had planned.  It happens to the best of us. The best part about Big Lots and their 20% coupons is they apply to EVERYTHING in the store!  So if you want to buy furniture, software, games, TVs, electronics, or diapers you can with…

The Cost of Diapers 2010 – January Update

Baby, Big Lots, CVS, Uncategorized, Walmart
One of the reasons I started to get into couponing was because of the cost of diapers and wipes.  I would go to Walmart, Sam's Club, Target, Babies R Us and compare the prices and figure which store would give me the best deal and then I discovered the 'coupon'.  Coupons as you may or may not already know hold the key to finding some great deals.  In the last year thanks to the CVS and Rite Aid I've lowered my cost to diapers to about $300 a year. This is an estimate so this year I plan on costing out how much I spend on diapers and soon training pants. My little girl isn't a little girl anymore.  She wears size 6 and is a "big" girl!  Size 6…

Big Lots, Coupons, Uncategorized
I'm a huge fan of Big Lots.  I've written a couple posts about coupons and great deals at Big Lots.  If you haven't been to Big Lots it is a discount store that is similar to a dollar store except it sells overstock items that they bought from other stores for less.   Before I started to use coupons I would go to Big Lots on a regular basis and buy a lot of items for a fraction of the cost.   My favorite items at Big Lots are the kitchen and housewares.  They have a great assortment of kitchen gadgets. Sign up now for Buzz Rewards and use this 20% coupon!  I got my coupon yesterday.   The coupon expires on 10/10/09!  I plan on going this week. Thanks to MoneywiseMoms…
