Diapers.com ... Wow!

Now that I am using approximately 20 diapers a day, on a SLOW day, I have finally decided it is time to cost-comparison shop. My mother-in-law told me I should try Diapers.com, and passed along a coupon to me. I figured that once shipping was figured in, it would be more expensive, but was I pleasantly surprised!!!

First, the prices were lower than anything I've found so far. (NOTE: the wholesale club near us, COSTCO, doesn't carry Newborn diapers, so I have not been able to cost-compare there. And other more experienced moms tell me that if you keep a hawk-eye out for sales, such as at CVS and Target, you can in fact beat the Diapers.com price, but not with that initial coupon.)

Second, shipping is FREE if the order total is above $50, something that is EASY to do when you are ordering diapers.

Third, they have a huge selection, so I was able to try LUVs and Seventh Generation, which I had not yet found in Newborn Size.

Fourth, once I used the coupon code my mother-in-law sent to me, it was EVEN CHEAPER! (I just had to be careful that the total was still above $50 for the free shipping)

Once you order for the first time, you can signup for their referral program and get your own coupon code. I don't know how long this promotion lasts, but at this point, if you use the code "nitpicky" you'll get $5 off your first order (and I'll get a $1 credit, so everyone wins). So, feel free to pass along to anyone you know who is about to have a baby or has one. Especially here in the Newborn stage, when you really do NOT want to leave the house, this is a pretty swell service.
