    Thanks scottishminnie! i don't suppose there is any mention of the pack size/ price of the huggies nappies is there?
    maybe a photo of the box showing if it's a mega or giga box
    TIA

    sorry, didn't think to list the size (you can tell I'm not a mum!) - it says size 4 or 5 in the photos and I think it says x144 in the corner of the size 5 ones and 156 on the size 4 ones. Does that sound right?

    p.s. no mention of the actual price I'm afraid

    Thanks that helps :D I think the full costco price of those boxes is around £22 so I can see if there's any better deals else where or not, the wipes are good (65.2p per pack) but I already have 54 packs ;) not sure if I have space for more :p

    The branded nappies and wipes are 90% of the time cheaper in the supermarket. Can't comment on the own brand stuff though I'm afraid, my eldest only wore pampers and youngest huggies, I used huggies wipes for both.

    Wouldn't agree with that, perhaps they are sometimes cheaper in the supermarket, not to the tune of 90%.

    Especially if you buy when there is an offer on, the last times we have had wipes they have wiped the floor with cattle market prices.

    Does mean you have to store them which could be a potential problem for some people

    ps. Anyone have the booklet to hand, if so are the tyres on offer at all?

    Someone mentioned they thought they might be but I haven't had booklet delivered yet...well it has gone to the wrong address

    Agree, the pampers pull ups pack works out cheaper (without an offer!) than buying the same amount at Lidl for example :)
