Online Savings and Coupons for Diapers.com

Diapers.com (1-800-Diapers) has a series of coupons and specials. Here are a few:
$10 Off Your First Order of $50 or More Plus Free Shipping (Use Coupon Code: AFFL10) - Expires 12/31
20% Off All Newborn Diapers
Save 15% on Seventh Generation Products with Discount Card

The nice thing about their coupons is I found out they are stackable. This means you can apply one coupon code or special on top of another (e.g. new customer $10 off + 10% Similac + free shipping). This can make their prices very competitive.

One more note: Orders of $15 or more qualify for a free subscription to Parenting magazine. If you already have a subscription, it will be extended one year.

The Cheapest Swim Diapers You'll Ever Find

Kmart has their swim diapers on clearance. I just purchased several packages of Huggies swim diapers for $.69 a package (not a typo). The price tags aren't marked, but if you scan the package they should appear at this price. I've heard Pampers swim diapers are on clearance too. Note: the actual sale price may vary by your locale (although the consensus seems to be $.69 a package).

Save Money at Pottery Barn Kids

While surfing for deals online, I came across what I would call a trick which can potentially save you up to 50% at Pottery Barn Kids . This trick works only on some items, not all of the items. Here is how it works:

1. Locate an item (i.e. Pink Mini Zooper Doll Stroller - listed at 59.99)

2. Add the item to your cart

3. Copy the item number (87-9645219 for the stroller mentioned above)

4. Paste the item number in the search box, but substitute the 87- with 89- (the item number for the stroller would now be 89-9645219)

5. Click Search (the stroller is now listed at 29.99)

95- sometimes works instead of 89-. Sometimes they both work, with one providing a lower price and one an even lower price. Sometimes neither of them work. Finally, sometimes they may increase the price so search carefully and pay attention before adding to your cart.
Some people have questioned the morality. The decision to use it is up to you. According to a few sources, this "feature" has existed for over a year.

This trick, or a variation of it also works with Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma. This makes since they all belong to Williams-Sonoma, Inc. The trick to try with these two stores is to change the item number to begin with a 9-.

Pampers Gift to Grow

We're still pounding our heads on the table over this one. We've got a 3.5 year-old (been potty trained since she turned 2) and a one-year old. We've purchased a lot of diapers and wipes over the past 3.5 years and all but a handful of boxes were Pampers. We just learned today about the Pampers Gifts to Grow Rewards program. As it turns out, each Pampers product has a Gifts to Grow code. If you go to the Gift to Grow site, you can register and enter the codes. The codes can be redeemed for all types of rewards or donated to charity. Needless to say, we've registered but we still lost out on about 100 boxes of diapers. Here is the link: Pampers Gifts to Grow
