I want to stockpile diapers and wipes but the only thing is I can only find $1 or $2off coupons and on a $20 box of diapers it helps but isn't great. Are there better coupons out there? I am new at this, and would appreciate any advice you had for me!
Thanks, Beth

Pretty well the only way to do this cheap is wait for a great deal. Every now and then you can swipe some diapers for almost nothing. About a month or two ago walgreens had 2 overlapping coupons for their walgreens diapers, i ended up getting 4 packs for like 70 cents. I ended up with 8 packs all together.
My grandson is gonna be here at the end of october so i started getting diapers as soon as i found out that my daughter is expecting. Wipes too.
Here is what i usually do..
If you shop CVS and get familiar with their CVS bucks program...lots of times with coupons you can increase your Bucks. Example: Lets say i have $10 in CVS bucks right now. This week they have covergirl wetslick lipgloss for 5.99 get 5.99 back. If i use a coupon with this i spend 4.99 and get 5.99 in cvs bucks back. My bucks will increase by $1. So i built up my Bucks, i look for items that will give me an increase. Some people have a lot of bucks they rotate every week/month. I usually try to keep about $20 in CVS Bucks on hand. Now after i find some items to increase my amount, in a month i might be up to $35 in CVS Bucks, i then turn around and spend $15 on diapers and wipes to go back to my normal $20. Hope this isn't confusing. So basically i didn't spend any of my own money on diapers just Bucks i earned.
Right now my daughter has about 30 packs of diapers and about 30 tubs of wipes plus about 5 packs of refill wipes. Diapers and wipes take some time to stockpile but when you get them for free or very cheap that's when you have to pile up. or do it slowly like i do at cvs.

I agree with Britta, the best way to stockpile is to wait for an awsome sale. My son is 5 1/2 months old and I stocked up as much as I could on the Walgreens deal and I used the Register Rewards they gave me for buying the diapers to get wipes. I have 6 refill boxes of Huggies wipes, 4 refill bags of Huggies wipes, 2 boxes of Walgreens wipes, 6 bags of pampers refill wipes plus a ton of diapers.

Now those $3/2 Huggies Clean Team coupons that come out form time to time can be used on the Huggies Cleam Team wipes you find in the HBA Section of Wal-Mart. They are about $1.64 for the 42 count. You then get 2 for $0.28. That works out to $0.00333333 per wipe! I love those and I stock up on them. The coupon comes out quite frequently. Plus that is the size I keep in the car, in my purse, at work, etc. I like that it is sift sided and I can stuff it somewhere if I have to easier that the hard cases.
