how I paid $0.59 for 100 diapers

...or, let me introduce you to two of my newest friends, Amazon Mom and Swagbucks. Between these two, I've been able to diaper my sons for less than a McChicken (or McDouble, if you're my husband). Here's how:

  1)  Start using Swagbucks to search the Interwebs. I realize the inverse of this is to stop using Google, or (dare I say it?) Bing, but hear me out. You earn points for searching through Swagbucks, and those points can be exchanged for Amazon.com gift cards. I've earned $35 in Amazon credit since becoming a Swagbuck member last November. I, too, was a skeptic at first, but this site is legit. Go here to sign up and try it out. 

2) If you are mother, or caregiver, sign up for Amazon Mom. Put simply, it's a free Amazon Prime membership. That's an immediate savings of $79 annually. Add on the savings of free two-day shipping, 15% off selected baby items and the "Subscribe & Save" feature, and you're starting to feel pretty awesome. Sign up here.

  Now, for my purchase.  I chose these Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers, Size 2, 100-Countpriced at $19.50.

  Choose a "Subscribe and Save" option, found on the right side of the page. This will save you an extra 15%, and you can cancel the option once the item is shipped if you'd like. The diapers now cost $13.65, or $0.14 a diaper! (Costco diapers are about $0.18 a diaper, in case you were wondering.)

  *Optional*  I used a 20% off promotional code, found in the November and December issues of Parents Magazine, or the January issue of American Baby. I've heard the American Baby can be found for free at Babies R Us, or you can sign up for a free subscription here.

  Final diaper price: $10.59, or $0.10 per diaper, with free two-day delivery! Awesome price!! I then used $10 in Amazon credit, thanks to Swagbucks... and, that is how I paid $0.59 for 100 diapers. We could do a per diaper price, but that would be just a little ridiculous :)
