When my daughter was born, I used Kirkland (Costco) brand diapers until she was about 18 months. When she really started moving, I found they didn't fit her as well and switched to Pampers. With my son, I therefore started right off using Huggies (as I could get them at Costco whereas Pampers you can't). I also prefer as limited scent as possible to diapers, and find Pampers have a way stronger scent than Huggies.
A box of Huggies diapers on sale at Costco will run you about $38. A box of size 5 Huggies contains 176 diapers. As I was doing my shopping at SP on Monday, I noticed their huge display of Pampers and it piqued my curiosity. I got home and did some math.
The Pampers diapers are on sale at SP, sizes newborn to size 6, for $26.89. A box of size 5 for comparison purposes, has 136 diapers.
Costco - $0.22 cents per diaper
SP - $0.20 cents per diaper
Now that may seem like a small difference given it's only $0.02. But here is how the big picture works out:
If Costco Huggies diaper were $0.20 cents per diaper, 176 diapers would cost you $34.80. (Excuse some rounding I didn't post). You save roughly $4 overall. I believe the regular price of Costco diapers is $43 a box. That's almost a savings of $10 if you don't buy them on sale!
I'm not sure how long the deal is on for at SP, and there is a limit of 4. The more you buy though, the more you save :)
Love your blog Carmen. I caught the savings at Superstore. My favourite diapers are the so called Green brand by Superstore. $7.99 right now instead of the usual $15.99.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great deal! How many diapers do you get in a package?
ReplyDelete46 in size 4 and 52 in size 3. They work well and don't have any scent. Many of my friends agree.
