    My boys are almost 9 months and up until now, I haven't had to buy diapers since we got so many for gifts (thank goodness). I like Pampers the best but now that they have out grown the Swaddlers, we are switching to Luvs. I got on Amazon yesterday and signed up for their Subscribe and Save program and I think for size 3 diapers, it figured out to 12 cents/diaper plus free shipping. Wondering if this is the best deal out there or if there are better places to shop?? TIA!

    We are 9 months as well. We have been using pamper baby dry. Its never leak!!! I hate cruiser. It stinks!!!my second favorite is huggies little mover.huggies always has coupons available in mail, online. I shop diapers at kroger local store. Kroger offers 2-3 dollars of for huggies and 1-1.5 dollars off for pampers. Plus I can also use mnufacturer coupons. So I end up paying like 5 bucks for 1 bag of huggies, 7 bucks for a bag of pamper. I have heard of luv but never try out. Is it good? Thanks

    Amazon S&S has the best deal, and I've done TONS of searching. You can also sign up for Amazon Mom to get another 15% off. After my girls grew out of Swaddlers, we went to Fisher-Price. We love them, and they're about $0.13/diaper.

    My favorite is Pampers Baby Dry. I don't like the Crusiers either. Especially since the switch. They're thinner and harder. I do use off brand like the Kroger brand Comforts or Target brand Up & Up. I like the Comfort brand better than Up & Up. Both are really reasonable though. Kroger (or out West called something like King Soupers) just had the Comfort brand on sale for $5 a pack! That was a good price! So I bought four packs. Two for the babies and two for my third child.

    Okay so as far as online I think you got a good deal. The Pampers are typically $9.99 not on sale. The Comfort brand has 36 diapers for a sie 3 pack so I'm assuming Pampers is about the same. I don't have a pack here to compare. So that comes out to 28 cents a diaper. So you paid half that so I would say good job! I need to look into the Amazon. I lik buying the Earth's Best variety packs through them. It would be nice to shop for the diapers too.

    Personally, I buy the Target generic brand and love them and find them to be cheaper than most else out there. I wait for sales and stock up, plus they often have coupons, and I have Target RedCard, so I get 5% off. I think it ends up being like 15 cents a diaper before sales or coupons. I regularly have a dollar off coupon, plus the extra sales and 5% off, it often comes down to around 12 cents or so.

    Sam's Members Mark Diapers are great! NEVER had a leak in them and they are premium diapers for CHEAP!

    I agree the Members Mark diapers are nice. My SIL bought a box for us to have at my IL's and they are nice. They are more like Huggies when it comes to shape but much better! They are soft and I haven't ever had a problem with them.

    I also signed up for Amazon Mom which gives you 15% off diapers and I do their Subscribe and Save, which is another 15% off (so 30% off total). Sometimes Parents and American Baby magazines offer 20% off diapers at Amazon and you end up with 50% off. The January issue of American Baby currently has a 20% off coupon in it.

    I've always bought our diapers at Target, where I can get a box of Luvs size 4, 92 count for $17.99 not on sale, but I always have a $1 off coupon too. Though Target frequently has a special where if you buy 2 boxes of Luvs you get a $5 or $10 gift card, so we always stock up when they have that special too. For Luvs size 3 diapers the box has over 100 but not sure of the exact count.

    I LOVED Pampers Swaddlers when our boys were born, but once they outgrew those I was very unimpressed with the regular Pampers (Baby Dry, I think). They leaked fairly frequently. At that point I decided it was stupid to pay a premium for name brand diapers that were no better, or WORSE, than generics. I have been SO happy since switching to Luvs! They seem soft to the touch and therefore comfortable and our boys very rarely ever leak (and never from pee, only from massive blowouts that would probably happen with any diaper). So we use Luvs during the day and Huggies Overnights for nighttime (I love those too!!).

    If those Luvs diapers are only 12 cents each on Amazon I say go for it! :good: I'm going to go checkout Amazon now too for Luvs ;)

    I have found that the Amazon Subscribe and Save and the Amazon Mom program together is the best option for me. I work and find it very nice to not have to worry about picking up diapers, I have them shipped to the house and just order them when getting low. I might be able to buy them a little bit cheaper somewhere else but feel like I save money not having to run around shopping. I get some of their food that way too Oatmeal, puffs, and so on.

    Yes Amazon is THEE way to go for diapers, much cheaper than Sams or costco and there is no tax, no shipping fees, no standing in lines and it is delivered to your front door in 2 days. Do amazon mom 15% off then do subscribe & save for another 15% off - you can cancel s&s easily and whenever you want & just sign up again for it the next time you buy diapers. Parenting magazine has also had a 20% off coupon in each magazine last 5 or 6 months, there is also an online coupon book on amazon and pampers frequently has another $1.50 off coupon per box. Luvs is made by pampers so the luvs diapers are basically a baby dry diaper. The luvs will not hold as much pee as a baby dry though so I use a baby dry for overnight and for outings. I never pay more than 12c per diaper and have gotten some as low as 8c/diaper when they had better online coupons.

    Thanks everyone, we live in the middle of no where, so I think I will go with Amazon and watch for coupons too, bonus!

    I LOVE the FISHER price ones !! love love love love love them. When I moved back to N. America I hated Pampers they leaked and at night they hardly held anything. But the Fisher price are so nice around the legs and the night time ones are the BEST !! Give them a try and see how you like them.

    Completely agree. I was wary of changing, but now they're my favorite. All other diapers would ride up in the crotch, but these don't. Little Movers my arse. :D

    We just switched from Diapers.com to Amazon. Boys have leaked through Target and Huggies, so we stick to Pampoers. For new users Diapers,com had 30 percent rebates from September to January, and we used that up great. But no Amazon is getting in to the action!! They are comparable with baby food too!!

    Definitely Amazon Mom with Subscribe & Save. Not to mention that when you sign up for Amazon Mom, for every $25 (or $30, I can't remember) you spend in the Baby department, you get a free month of Amazon Prime - so that's free 2-day shipping on almost everything else at Amazon. It's an AWESOME deal!

    I've only found them at Babies R Us and Amazon. With Subscribe & Save plus Amazon Mom, a box of 96 are $13.99.
