Hello

we have a 4 month old and she obviously goes through nappies and baby wipes like there is no tomorrow!

I was wondering if there was a website that showed the cheapest place to buy baby essentials like nappies, baby wipes, formula etc etc

thanks

    Best place for good quality nappies at a reasonable price is aldi. the are £4.99 for 52(i think) size 4 nappies. Quality wise they are as good as pampers, I've never had any trouble. Wipes I always stock up when on offer but aldi ones are good too. Formula is same price across the board.unless you use sma, I've seen some cheap in home bargains over last few months due to packaging change.
    hope this helps

    Hiya, Tesco have been selling boxes of 12 packets of wipes for £5.99 a box, good quality ones too. Don't think you can get much cheaper than this. As for nappies, try having a look on Mysupermarket, one of the supermarkets is usually doing a half price offer. If you haven't joined the 'Huggies' club, thats worth doing so, go to their website and sign up. They send money off vouchers through the post and you can print a £2 voucher online (prints 2 so £4 off a packet of huggies).

    Aldi nappies are fabulous.

    The big problem is that my sister-in-law has convinced my wife that anything other than Pampers or Huggies will kill the baby! Same goes for baby wipes. This is one battle that I have ceded to the wife...

    asda often have big boxes of pampers for a good price especially during the baby event. They usually work out cheaper than aldi or asda own brand.

    Stage 1 Formula cannot be 'on sale' or advertised to encourage breastfeeding. Any 6+ months milk can be. I used washables with DS and have kept them to use with DD but at 14 months shes only 14 pounds so isnt big enough for them yet. With careful shopping/point mazimising of Boots points / coupons I pay no more than 4-5p a nappy. We use about 8 a day as I will never let her sit wet.
    Again ive used washables wipes alomgside the nappies and they were not hard work at all (neither for me anyway were the nappies) but again by shopping around and using coupons I dont pay more than 50p a pack. If your able to hold back about £15 a month for a few months then when you see the offers stock up longterm youll be saving loads. A good example would be when Sainsburys have the nappies on half price. If I can help you any more please let me know and id be happy to help.

    If you want to scare wife off pampers & huggies (and all disposable nappies) tell her the chemicals that make them absorbant ARE poison! (but your baby shouldn't be eating them anyway)

    You've not long missed a cracking deal at Morrisons. Pampers stay dry packs for £3.64. My son is 11 months and is in size 4+ and there was something like 47 per pack. We stocked up a lot :) However Lidls and Aldi do very good nappies with about 50 in a pack for around the £5 mark :)

    I know Tesco at the mo have pampers wipes for £2.57 but they're buy 1 get 2 free so averaging around the 80p per pack mark. I usually get Morrisons 4 for £3 wipes :)
