diaper, wipes, and other baby supplies?? How about Household stuff like toilet paper, kleenex, toothpast, and anything else? Where are good places to go for coupons??

Anyone use diapers.com? I was just looking at them, and with all their promotional deals they seem to be a good price. I also saw they have a sister site soap.com that has everything household related, anyone check into it yet?

I buy diapers, wipes, and household items at Target. Up&Up brand (Target's brand) has great prices.

I can usually get really good deals at CVS on diapers using coupons and their extra care bucks. The coupons almost always come from either a mailer from the diaper company, coupons.com, or the newspaper. The last time I bought wipes they were from a grocery store in the area. With their sale and coupons they came out to 1.11 a box.

I haven't bought from diapers.com because I can get better deals at the drugstore.

I usually buy natural/biodegradable cleaning products from Whole Foods. Paired with store coupons, manufacturer coupons from whichever companies website, and the employee discount from DH they come out pretty comparable to their non-natural counterparts.

Toothpaste and other personal care products either come from Target or CVS. Check out totallytarget.com for deals at Target and links to the coupons. hip2save.com always has the cvs/walgreens/riteaid matchups along with links to coupons there.

I haven't paid a single penny for a box of feminine care products, toothpaste, contact solution or body wash in months.

I have always bought all of my stuff at Safeway with coupons when possible and whenever I go back and compare receipts to diapers.com, Safeway is cheaper. I have heard Costco is really the best places but we don't have one close enough to make it worth the effort.

I buy Target brand diapers and wipes because I got tired of chasing sales. If you use a namebrand, you can get good deals at drugstores. Websites like myfrugaladventures.com and babycheapskate.com are good resources. They match sales with coupons. If anyone lives in northeast Ohio, ccherrypicker.blogspot.com/ is great for finding deals at our local stores.

I get coupons from my Sunday paper, plus my mom and MIL give me theirs. I have a grocery store nearby that doubles coupons under $1, so I get a lot of toiletries and paper products there. It's really easy to get toothpaste for free when it's on sale and you have a 75 cent coupon that is doubled. When I can get a good deal like that, I stock up.

I also like Target because they will accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon per item. I got a pretty good deal on Charmin that way when it was on sale a couple months ago. I am set on tp for months!

I am a big couponer so I go to different places for things. I follow Southern Savers. I get my coupons, clip them, organize them, and check southernsavers.com each week to see what the deals are.

I shop at CVS, Rite Aid, Harris Teeter, and Kroger. I have goals for each item so if I can get it for that price, I go to that store and use the coupons with their deals. It varies each week, but I have gotten great deals on diapers at CVS and Rite Aid. I generally don't buy those at grocery stores as they are usually really overpriced so even on sale with a coupon, they don't beat drugstores with coupons and good deals.

My goal for diapers is no more than 15 cents per diaper (prefer to get them for 10 cents per diaper), a pack of wipes for $1.00 or less (prefer free which is usually doable because they have coupons for a free pack of wipes when you buy diapers which I match with a coupon for the diapers and a sale for the diapers).

Laundry detergents and cleaners I get everywhere. I try to get laundry detergent for a couple of bucks. I try to get my cleaners for roughly $1.00.

I aim to get toilet paper and paper towels for 50 cents a roll (I could probably do better but that works for me for now).

I usually buy toilet paper, paper towels, some frozen foods, formula, diapers, and wipes at Sams.

Anything non-grocery, like cleaning supplies, I generally buy at WalMart. Target is just so expensive and I just find what I need for much cheaper at WalMart.

Groceries will depend on the sales, but normally I stick to King Soopers (Kroger/City Market) and Sprouts. We buy a lot of organic and all natural food, especially for the girls, and I just don't have as much luck at other stores. Between coupons and loyalty cards, I save a lot.

Costco. Tried the Up & Up diapers and wipes and hated them. The wipes weren't as thick as the Huggies and the diapers leaked almost daily with the boys. Sad b/c they came highly recommended!! Costco has pretty competitive pricing and if you use their coupons, it's hard to beat!!

Well use cloth now but we used Target Up and Up diapers and wipes on DS#2. Their prices were good and we liked the diapers. What got us started on using cloth is that the baby is allergic to disposables. We tried them all and he'd break out in a terrible rash. No rash since starting cloth.

Anyway, wanted to tell you about alice.com. I just came across it the other day and I've seen Moms on here talk about it. I like what I see. I like the idea of being able to order and have shipped all my toiletries and paper products. You have to place a minimum 6 item order (I can do that easily at least once a month) and you get free shipping. It's worth checking out.

CVS! Sounds crazy but if you learn how to work the Extra Care Bucks with coupons.

Wal-Mart...I used to buy diapers @ diapers.com but I found Wal-Mart to be cheaper on all baby stuff including food (plus they sell the organic baby food!)

Amazon has everything in bulk also, and if you do the subscribe and save it's 30% off. You can have them automatically ship certain items every 1-6 months.

Ditto- all of the drugstores have AMAZING programs that allows me to get all of the above next to free if you do it right. Takes a little bit to 'learn' how to do it but worth the time investment.

diapers.com annoys the heck out of me because all their promotions are only for new customers. I've never seen any that don't have that restriction. I ordered from them once and they keep emailing me about their promotions, none of which I qualify for, hence my annoyance. It is great for the first order though. I usually get my diapers/wipes/diaper genie refills etc. from BJ's using both manufacturer and BJ's coupons for a pretty good deal.

we usually alway buy things in bulk at BJ's.
