Earth's Best Deal

Everyone knows I love a good deal. Well this one rocked! Zachary has to wear special diapers (non-chlorine, organic) or he breaks out in a horrible rash. These normally run me about $12 for a pack of 20 and he goes through about 1.5 packs a week. So we will go and get four packs every other week or so and spend close to or over $50 .

This past weekend they were on sale for $5 a pack at Babies R Us... awesome. But it gets better. I had a Babies R US coupon that took $2 off each pack making them $3 a pack... can it get better... it can... I had a manufactures coupon that took another $1.50 off each pack. Total we paid for our $12 a pack diapers... $1.50 each!! Damn I'm good!

Unfortunately you could only print one manufactures coupon per computer... no problem here, I made all my colleagues print coupons for me. Yep-- I'm that lame. I almost went door to door to my neighbors and/or made my family print some and fax them to me. But I didn't go quite that far and was only able to get around 6 of the manufacturer coupons.

Joe and I went in the freezing cold and rain on New Years day and picked up 3 packs each (as there was a 3 pack limit) paying $1.50 a pack. Then we went the next day and picked up 3 more packs each (we didn't have the extra $1.50 coupon this time, but they were still only $3 each with the BRU $2 coupon). We figured 12 packs will hopefully get us through the next 3 to 4 months and then we are hoping to start looking at potty training. So for our 12 packs we paid a grand total of... $27!

So did I seriously just do a whole blog post about my diapers deal. Yes I did! For those of you that are parents you will understand why this was so exciting for me. And those of you who are out for a good deal will probably also understand. Couponing has become my new addiction... but heck, of all the addictions, at least this one saves me money.
