How I Scored Free Diapers for Life

I'm a stay at home mom, successfully living off just one income, my husband's. My children are 6 & 8 years old now, but it wasn't too long ago that they were in diapers.

And boy oh boy was that expensive! Until I hit the diaper mega-load and came across sufficient free diapers to keep their bottom's dry for life, with some hundred extra to spare.

Baby Diapers

How? It's all about using coupons to your advantage. Forget clipping a 25 cent coupons for a brand of shampoo you don't even like, I'm talking about walking out of a store with two shopping carts full of goods they paid you to take.

How I Scored Free Diapers for Life

I've gotten tens of thousands of dollars worth of free product over the last some years, but my all time favorite haul was the Huggies Pull Ups. I ended up with thousands of diapers, and stores positively paid me to take them.

Here's how it happened. A few years ago, when both my kids were still in diapers, Huggies came out with a trial holder of their new create of Huggies Pull Ups. There were three diapers in each of these packages, and they cost .97 at Walmart, Walgreens and Toys-R-Us.

In addition to the three diapers, Huggies also had a coupon in the package. The coupon was for .50 Any holder of Huggies Pull-Up Diapers. Each time I bought a pack of diapers, I'd get other coupon.

Now, this is significant. Most Huggies coupons would specify right on the coupon that the savings was only off Jumbo size or larger packages, but these coupons were different. They specifically said "Any" holder of Huggies, meaning the coupons were good for the trial sized packages.

Calculate this: You have a coupon for .50 for a product that costs .97. That means for every holder of diapers I bought, not only would Huggies reimburse the store for my .97 purchase, they would give them an extra .53 cents.

What does that mean? That means I needed to spend other .53 in the store for each holder of diapers I bought. Effectively paying me to take the diapers.

I spent months combing all the Walmarts, Walgreens and Toys-R-Us stores all over the state, seeing for the trial packages of Huggies. When I found them, I would elaborate how to do the deal to other customers and store employees, even offering to give them some of my coupons. But no one wanted them.

So I would take most of the ready diapers, leaving a few in case man else wanted some. I spent the extra money on all kinds of things: food at Walmart, more baby products at Walgreens, toys for gifts at Toys-R-Us.

Since I bought 15-20 packages of diapers at a time, each time I had -10 to spend. In the end, it amounted to a few hundred dollars.

It was very time consuming, but very fun. I saved so much money, and was able to diaper both children straight through potty training for free. All by clipping a few coupons.

Preventing Baby Diaper Rash - Some useful Tips

I have summarised a few useful tips you can apply to prevent/control the amelioration of Diaper rash:

• Babies bodies should be completely cleansed by washing them with warm water and mild soap on a daily basis, in addition make sure to carefully clean your baby's bottom between diaper changes, use plain warm (not hot) water with or without a very mild soap.
• After bathing, make sure to pat your baby's bottom dry with a towel rather than scrubbing it (scrubbing can irritate your baby's sensitive skin), and avoid drying them with scented drying sheets which may increase the risk of allergic reactions.
• Any cleaning materials that you use on your child's skin need to be mild to ensure that there are no allergic reactions or other skin problems caused by the cleaning materials, try to avoid baby wipes that are scented or include alcohol as they may dry out or irritate the skin more.
• Your baby should be checked on a quarterly basis to ensure that the nappies are clean and dry as prolonged caress with wet nappies is one of the quickest ways for your child to get skin rashes and irritations, change a diaper as soon as it is wet or soiled, in addition to this, it is good practise to change the diaper before putting your baby down after a feed, or just before sleep.
• Let him or her go without a diaper as much as possible, this allows his/her skin to breathe, air to circulate, and reduces disagreement and skin caress with irritants. You will see that most babies enjoy the freedom of being naked too. Let your baby lay on top of a few diapering cloths. (If you have a boy, place other cloth diaper over his penis when he is on his back so he does not spray you.) allow your baby's skin to dry completely before you put on other diaper - the key to preventing diaper rash is to keep your baby's diaper area clean, cool and dry.
• Put the diaper on loosely to forestall chafing, diapers that are too tight do not allow adequate air in and tend to rub and irritate the baby's waist or thighs, also avoid plastic or rubber pants over the diaper - they do not allow adequate air to pass through.
• A soft hanger-on or a flannel can be used to wipe down your baby's body, bear in mind that some fabrics can cause allergic reactions, synthetic fibers are more likely to cause irritations than natural fibers.

Baby Diapers

Contrary to normal belief the occurrence of diaper rash is not an indication of neglect, poor hygiene or childcare skills on the part of the parent (although there are the few exceptions), with truthful concentration and implementing some of the deterrent measures mentioned above, you can either forestall or keep Diaper Rash under control.

Baby Diapers - Cloth Or Disposable?

Review

When it comes to diapers, you in effect have only two options: cloth diapers or disposable diapers. The debate for which type to use then becomes a moral one. Should I use cloth diapers which are reusable and washable, and thus do not have to be thrown away; or should I use disposable diapers which are not reusable, take us needful landfill space and take years to biodegrade; however, they are Very convenient?

Let's first consider the case for disposable diapers.

Baby Diapers

Benefits of disposable diapers:
Convenience. You pull the old one off and slap the new one on. Additionally, they come in many sizes and are ready at almost any branch or grocery store.
