Make a change and save on babies’ diapers

1. Pay bottom dollar for diapers. If you are a parent of a baby, you can save an average of $800 per child (a ssuming potty training kicks in by age 2½) just by comparing prices and buying your diapers at the lowest unit price possible. These savings approaches work with other baby supplies such as wipes, formula and bath products,too.

2. Experiment with different brands. Generic may be less expensive, but do not work for all babies. Changing more often doesn’t save money. You may be willing to pay slightly more for ones that do not leak.

3. Focus on sales, coupons and rewards. To find the best possible bargain wait for a sale and use coupons. If you still need more, send e-mails to all of the diaper companies politely requesting coupons. They want you as a customer and will likely be happy to send you some.
