Diapers GALORE!

Welcome to Coupon-a-holics Anonymous. My name is Danielle, and I am addicted to deals, "steals", and freebies. (Hi, Danielle).

It was a great week for baby stock up. Walgreens & Target are both running great promos, and CVS will start their Huggies deal on Sunday. My Target transaction was even better when the cashier accidentally scanned both of my $3 off coupons twice!! Now, don't yell at me for not telling- I didn't realize that the amount I paid in cash was the right price for the deal BEFORE I subtracted the gift card. However, considering the amount of money I provide Target with annually, I don't feel as bad as I did at first. So, here's what the deal SHOULD look like:

Promo: Buy 3 Packs of Huggies or Pampers jumpo packs of diapers at 8.99 each, get a $5 Gift Card

I bought:

2 Huggies & 1 Pampers (I'm not brand loyal, and that's just what fit the coupons I had): 26.97

- (2) $3 off Huggies MQ coupons

- (1) $2 Pampers MQ

- (2) $1.50 Huggies Target Q

- (1) $2 Pampers Target Q

- $5 Gift Card

For a total of $18 off. BUT, because the cashier scanned the coupons twice, I got ANOTHER $6 OFF! So my grand total, after GC, was 2.97 before taxes.

Then, I hit Walgreens. Their wipes are on sale for 2.50, with an in-store coupon of $1 off. Also, when you spend $25 on Huggies products, you get a $5 Register Reward. These I am loyal to, and so when I saw the $.75 off coupons on coupons.com, I went to the library, used 5 computers, and printed 10 (Yup, you can do that! It's 2 per computer, not 2 per person! :) So, here's what I did:

10 boxes Huggies wipes: 2.50 each: $25.00

- (10) $1 off Wags coupons

- (10) $.75 off MQ's

Total: $7.50, plus a $5 RR back. So 2.50 for 10 boxes of wipes, or $.25 each :) 90% off is a fair price for baby wipes, I guess....

When I go to CVS on Sunday, I'll be doing a slight variation of the previous deal (since I've now used my $3 off coupons).

2 Packs Huggies, $10 each. Filler items that are free after Q to hit $25.

 -$5/$25 CVS coupon

-$5 in Q's for the $5 worth of stuff (I'll pick up a few J&J First Aid to Go, trial size Bandaids, etc that are $1, that I have $1 off Q's for)

- B1G1 Jumbo pack from Recycle Bank (subtracts $10)

- $2 MQ from coupons.com

- $5 ECB for Huggies deal

$25- $27 in Q's/ECB= $2 profit :)

So, when you total my diapers transactions for the week, that's .97 cents (2.97 @ Target -$2 profit) for 5 packs of diapers (180 diapers for size 3), or .005 per diaper- HALF A CENT PER DIAPER (Had the cashier not doubled the coupons, it would have been (6.97, or $.03 per- still a great deal). Wipes, I'll have paid $2.50 for 640, or .003 cents per wipe.

Now, you may think my son's closet looks nuts because I've filled it with diapers for the next few months, but it's not like they wont get used, and this price is incredibly rare. Good luck in your own hunt for diapers :)
