Thanks to Laura from BeltwayBargainMom.com!  This is a super hot deal at Giant that ends today 11/10/11.

I bought 3 packs of Huggies Slip On for $8.99

I used 3 coupons -  $3.00/1 Huggies Little Movers Slip On coupon from 10/23/11 SmartSource insert

I also used the Acadia coupon found on the front of the ad $1.00 off when you purchase over $25 and makes a 24 pack $1.99

I spent $21.36

I got back a $5 coupon and a $7 coupon!  That means after coupons/savings that make the diapers $2.45 a pack!

Since I brought the twins with me today, I took the diapers and water to the car and went back in and used the $5 coupon for Milk, a mango and bananas.

Milk is $3.99

Mango on sale $1

Bananas $1.44

I used the $5 coupon

I spent $1.59

I got all of this for $22.59 and still have a $7 coupon to use next trip!

Per Laura the Huggies deal  will last from from 10/31-11/27: Buy 2 and get $3 OYNO, Buy 3 and get $5 OYNO, Buy 4+ and get $6 OYNO = On Your Next Order

However, I believe the Buy $25-worth and get $7 On Your Next Order will end today.

By the way how much is milk in your area?  Since I was there and I needed milk I went ahead and got it.

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.

Today, I thought I would go to Babies R’ Us to exchange 4 boxes of size 1 large box of diapers with my Mom helping.  Note these are Babies R’s Us brand diapers.  I got crazy about buying size 1 diapers back in January.  I was thinking the twins would need them for a couple months but I was wrong.  They are growing and soon will be in size 2.  I thought at the time it would be easy to exchange.  Life has been crazy and trying to find my receipts was more difficult then I thought.  Besides it is Babies R’ Us, I spend a lot there and the sizes are the same price so I should get an even exchange right?  Wrong!

The customer service rep and manager said since I didn’t have the receipt (proof of purchase NOTE: they are Babies R Us brand – Where else would I have gotten them?) they would only give me the “lowest” price and I would have to pay the difference which came out to $20!  I reluctantly accepted that and headed to the car basically in tears with 4 boxes of size 3 and having paid an additional $20 for them.

After talking to my Mom, I went in and talked to the manager and she couldn’t do anything without a receipt.  I was frustrated in tears.  Taking care of 3 kids does that to you.  So I took back the size 1 and got my $20 back.

Babies R’ Us customer service has been bad for me in the past and I know others that have said the same thing.  No point in my calling a rep or emailing since last time it took over a month to get a generic answer.  That is a waste of my time and energy.  I would have thought Babies R’ Us would be supportive of “mothers” and have great customer service but they don’t.  What has happened to customer service these days?   The only store that I like when it comes to returns is CVS and Nordstrom.

I’ve made my decision I will give these as gifts or donate them and that will be that.  I will use the rest of my gift cards and will no longer be a customer of Babies R’ Us. What a bummer.  I have a headache.

Update on 5/17/11

After writing this post and talking to my husband about it.  I realized that they were asking me to pay more for the diapers.  All I was asking was a different size that was the exact same price.  I wasn’t scamming them.

In addition, on their website it states “No receipt.  No problem!”  See the image and link above.    I had all of my purchases on my Rewards R Us card.   Understand that it is only for 90 days.

I printed out all of my purchases and I even found a couple of my receipts I went to the store again on Sunday and showed it to customer service   The same cashier that I talked to on Friday explained that since it was past 90 days I still couldn’t exchange them but that I could talk to a manager.  The manager said the same thing.  I then made the arguments that I said above.  The diapers are on sale for $20 (buy 2 and get $10 off) and that would be cheaper then paying more for them.     Besides the receipt doesn’t say exchanges or returns have to be done in 90 days.  Other stores would have exchanged them for the different sizes like CVS or Walmart etc.  Then the manager agreed that I could exchange them for no additional cost.  I thanked her and the cashier.

Yesterday, I went to RiteAid and did the diaper deal that I mentioned.    I didn’t have any of the wipes coupons so I instead just bought diapers.   I didn’t take a picture because I put them away before I got my act together and took my pictures.

Today, I asked my hubby if I could run into RiteAid since it dawned on me that the wipes are on sale $2/$5 and I have these high value coupons just sitting there.   I spent $6.38 for 9 packages of wipes that is $.71 a piece.  Not bad at all!

• 3 Huggies Wipes 2/$5 or $2.50 each - Used 3 – Huggies IP coupon $2/1 = $.50 each
• 6 Huggies Wipes 2/$5 or 42.50 each – Used 3 – Huggies IP coupons $2/2 = $1.50 each

Used a $5/20 Adperks coupon.

I wanted to share some of the deals I grabbed at Walmart today.

• Bic pens for FREE,
• 2 Nivea body washes for FREE $3.97 and used the $4/1 coupon,
• M&Ms bags for $1.67 a piece after using a B2G1 coupon from 5/2 RP, and
• 2 Cetaphil products after using my $2 off any product IP coupons.   The Cetaphil products even came with 2 more $2 coupons exp in 2011.  The moisturizer SPF15 $8.97 – $2 = $6.97 and the SPF 50 $12.97 – $2 = $10.97.
• 1 Sidewalk caulk for $1 – Finding creative cheap ways to play outside.
