Wow!  I haven’t bought many diapers this month.    I’m definitely keeping my eye out for more deals.

After adding in my diaper purchases for February and March here is what I’ve spent so far on diapers this year.  I will be getting additional rebates for the Rite Aid Pampers and will subtract that when I get it.

I got my rebate check from Caregivers Market Place- $12.50!   Not bad for saving my receipts for Huggies diapers and a few other products then at the end of the year I filled out the rebate form.   I will add that $12.50 back into the cost of diapers for this year, since I didn’t include that in my calculations last year.

This last week I got my rebate check from Caregivers Market Place- $12.50!   Not bad for saving my receipts for Huggies diapers and a few other products then at the end of the year I filled out the rebate form.   I will add that $12.50 back into the cost of diapers for this year, since I didn’t include that in my calculations last year.  Note:  This year 2010 Caregivers doesn’t offer the same rebates as in 2009.

I realized I had one of the “$5 Alice Gift Card for being a new user” that I received from my Swagbucks points a couple months ago and I thought what a perfect time to use it I need diapers badly and maybe I can find some good deals.

If you haven’t checked Alice.com please do so, it is a online store that  provides you a better way to manage all of your household essentials online they include regular daily deals and automatic coupons too.  You can create one time shopping trips or you can even create regular shopping schedules, as long as you have 6 items in your cart, you always pay FREE shipping!

This is what I got:

If I don’t use tax in my calculations then I paid $5.51 for diapers, $7.69 for 20 Forever stamps that equals $0.3845 each, and $0.35 on Alka-Seltzer, plus $.42 tax.  Everything else was FREE! That’s pretty good!  All of the items I will use! 

I paid $14.20 for $20.78 worth of products = 32% savings  (Which would be  more if I calculate using retail pricing.)

Here is my calculation:

Total before savings $20.78 – total I paid $14.20 = amount saved $6.58 / total before savings $20.78 = percentage saved 32% savings

Is this is the best way to calculate my savings?  You can read my previous post about calculating savings.  I’m always open to new ideas!
