Nappy Inflation!

Is it just me or have the price of nappies gone through the roof in the past few months? I was paying 11-13p per nappy in January via boots and tesco promotions but suddenly they are pricing them at nearer 20p each.

Please does anyone have any good tips on vouchers or ways to save?

    which ones do you use? I have tried all brands and found Tesco to be the best for fit and leaks but much cheaper than branded versions which are also less efficient.
    I have also signed up for various parents clubs boots tesco pampers etc and use the vouchers,for example use pampers vouchers on tesco nappies, they dont seem to mind!
    hth am sure you have already tried these!

    Asda's plugging a baby and toddler promotion at the moment - don't know prices (I avoid that aisle like the plague since I can't concieve and don't need the heartache) but may be worth a looksie - think it runs till the 16th May from the banner I saw outside today.

    Asda, Morrisons have offers at the mo, Makro are generally cheaper than both for branded as they do "giga" packs - almost 200 in a box for just over £20.

    Have you joined all of the baby clubs? Tesco, Boots and Pampers. Using pampers vouchers and instore promotion I've just bought nappies for 1.98 a packet from Morrisons. (36 in a packet) Also costco work out very cheap for huggies when they have a voucher in their regular voucher booklets. Also, alot of people say how good lidl nappies are - haven't tried them myself yet.

    Good luck - I know how expensive it can be.

    Asda have a baby event on and you can get I think 144 disposable nappies (Huggies) for 10 pounds. Alternatively, shop around and you will find them on offer!
