Ok, What about a different consumable for a change.

Moneysavers where are the cheapest disposable nappies?? Pampers, Huggies, and shops own??

To start the thread off:

I found in Asda yesterday

Enormous box of Pampers baby dry for £14.97 (contained 120 Junior size 5 nappies, free moon toy, and lullaby dvd) = 12p per nappy for size 5

and

Huge box of Pampers Active Fit for £9.98 (contained 62 junior size 5 nappies) = 16p per nappy for size 5


Can Moneysavers find cheaper disposables?

Interesting and will definately keep an eye on this one!!

Just wondering, can you shop online, and use the discount codes from the section for Asda and Tesco and buy nappies?

I know it says 'grocery' but just wondered has anyone tried this?

i bulk buy from boots in store.

i tend to have some vouchers normally, either from writing to kimberly clark or from magazines etc. etc. and then use them with some promotions like '3 for 2' or '2 for £15'. that combined with triple points which is a pt return of 12% means that i pay around 5p a nappy for huggies.

as an exmaple i'll post my last nappy buy.

3 for 2 on ecomony pks of huggies. used coupons £2 off, £1.50 off. this meant the i paid around £15 for 3pks containing 58 nappies. i also got 150+ in points.

It's important for moneysavers to post the brand, the type (e.g. active fit, baby dry, pull ups), the price, number of nappies AND the size of the nappies on offer

You get less nappies in a pack as the size goes up e.g. newborn nappies work out about 10p each (as you get loads in a pack) whereas size 6 toddler nappies are more like 18p each (as you get a lot less per pack). Clever marketing from Pampers et al so you don't realise that you're paying much more!

Also you get a lot less in a pack of pull ups than you do in a pack of baby dry, etc..

Hi all!

We are currently expecting baby #2. With #1 we used shaped, sized cloth nappies from around 6 months, which she is just stopping using now and we have saved all for this little one.

Now, I like to think I know a lot about cloth nappies but I am not stupid enough to think a) nappies for a newborn are the same as dealing with an older baby/toddler's nappies (more regular nappy changes, meconium, etc) and b) that I ought to go out and buy 30 or so nappies of one sort, not knowing if baby or we will get on with them!

An attractive option are the terry squares, the luxury ones are unbleached and edged and last for aaaaaaaages so could easily with some wily folds, use them until #2 fits into the old shaped nappies and use them alongside. However, when we sampled some for #1, we tried out terry squares and quite frankly we were rubbish with the nappy nippas and poor #1 was left with nappies that fell off as soon as we picked her up

I am happy to work on it, but boyfy HATES the thought of terries and nappy nippas or indeed any shaped nappy that fastens with one so it is only under duress we are going to order a few terry squares to try out.

What he would say to ask is which ones should we try out but I want to ask is how do I persuade him that terries are the way to go?!?!? A relevant point to mention is that for the first few weeks we have some eco disposables to use to get the meconium out of the way and whilst we decide which way to go with the nappies.

All advice appreciated!
