Good Deal on Wipes


Ok, so I know that I am a nerd when it comes to saving money and probably talk about it too much. But I wanted to share how I save money on necessities like diapers and wipes. I buy most of them on Amazon, because they are the same price or often less than I can buy them at Costco and they are shipped to my door usually for FREE. In fact, I have never paid for shipping diapers or wipes from Amazon. Here is how you can save too:

* Create an Amazon Mom account which will save you 30% off items in their baby store and give you Free 2-Day shipping.
* Find Pampers Soft Care Scented Wipes, 720 Count and choose the Subscribe & Save option. On the right hand side bar you can add them to your cart for $18.49 or Subscribe for $12.94. Subscribing will mean that they will send you this item as frequently as you request, like once a month or every six months. But you can cancel this subscription at any time. I cancel as soon as I receive my order. This alone is a better price than Kirkland wipes last time I checked. Also, just like any store they have sales and discounts so watch prices and buy them at their lowest. For wipes I shoot for less than .02 per wipe and less than .16 per diaper.
* And lastly I used gift cards that I earn using Swagbucks. Set up a Swagbuck account and use it when you search the internet you will earn Swagbucks. You also can earn them by taking the Daily Poll, viewing the NOSO (No Obligation Special Offers - at least I think that is what it stands for), and by watching videos. You can trade in your Swagbucks for a lot of different products, but I always choose the $5 Amazon gift card. I can earn 2 about every 6 weeks with very little effort. I have the videos running and muted while I am checking my email, in fact they are going right now. I use the gift cards to order diapers and wipes as needed!
