Frugal ways to save for Babies – Swim Diapers, Diaper cream

Baby, Freebies, Uncategorized
Now that I have twins and a soon to be 3 year old.  My life is focused on children.  My blog has been focused on it to.  It sort of seems obvious for me.  Right now all I'm thinking about is feedings, and diaper changes. Here are some awesome blog posts that I came across and thought you should read.  Feel free to pass on to others. Babygoodbuys.com  - Reuse disposable swim diapers - This makes perfect sense.  Since disposable swim diapers cost about $.50 it makes sense to get as much out of them as you can. Minnesotamamamusthaves.com - Make your own Triple Paste - I'm a huge fan of Triple Paste.  I recently used my $1.00 internet coupons at Walmart to get 1 oz for $6.49 but that…

What is a good price point for Huggies pull-ups?

Toddler, Uncategorized
I'm looking for the best deal on Huggies Pull-ups.  My daughter has graduated to training pants and I had a couple packages I had purchased a while back and now I'm looking to create a stockpile for her and someday her twin brothers.  What is the best price point for Huggies pull-ups?  I'm also interested in pricing out the Pampers Easy Ups too.  Thoughts? The best price point for diapers has been $.10.  I really try to stick to that price and there are times I have had to go up to $.16 but never above that.  It doesn't matter what brand in my opinion.

Problems with Babies R Us Returns and Exchanges

Babies R Us, Baby, Uncategorized
The other day I got out all by myself with the twins and it was so exciting.  I even got FREE Nivea body wash at Walmart.  It was a good day.
