Hey Ladies!
Just wanted to let y'all know about the target deal that starts tomorrow (October 16). This happens a couple times a year and allows you to double dip with gift card promos. Buy any two of the listed brands (Huggies, Pampers, Luvs, Pull ups) at the 24.99 price and get a $10 gift card. If you buy 8 boxes of diapers plus one filler (like a pack of wipes) that will get you to $200.00 then you can get $40 in gift cards from the diapers, and $40 gift card for spending $200. For a total of $80 gift cards!
Plus cartwheel has 10% off pampers (ends tomorrow) $2 off (one time use) a box of huggies and then if you have a red card that's an extra 5% off. Plus if you have any manufacture coupons you can use those too.
Make sure you scan the gift card deals and then do the coupons & cartwheel because the total before tax has to equal $200 in order to get all the gift cards.
Some people are breaking up this deal and using some of the gift cards to pay for diapers, but I save all my gift cards for Christmas shopping.
Happy Shopping!
Edit to add, you don't have to buy diapers, it's just the best deal with the gift cards because you get an extra $40. You can just go buy $200 worth of any baby supplies and get $40 back in gift cards.
Re: Target Diaper Deal
They also have one every now and then where you can get a $25 gift card for spending $100 on diapers/wipes/formula...etc. It is super easy to get up to $100 and I always stock up when I see the signs for that sale!
0-2 weeks - NB
2 weeks - 1.5 mos - size 1
1.5 - 4 mos - size 2
4 - 7 mos - size 3 (we have a friend - a month older - who was still in 1s when we were in 3s)
7 - now (11mos) - size 4 (and he sleeps in 5s)
If you want to make sure you will not waste money, I would say to spread out the sizes you buy. They will always grow into the next size. You might do a little research for anecdotal reports on sizing. I have found that even when my little guy outgrew a size in Target brand (our favorite!) that Pampers in the same size would still fit and would help bridge the gap between sizes.
If I end up buying 8 boxes, I'd probably buy:
2 Newborn (because you change them a lot!)
4 Size 1
1 Size 2
1 Size 3
Sweet Baby H 12.21.11
Sassy Baby P 03.26.14
Little Brother Due 05.22.17
I think target is pretty good about exchanging unopened boxes for a different size too!

Its hard to have a definite answer. Every baby grows differently. Mine was in nb for up to 2 weeks then size 1. I remember we were finishing up with size 3 by 6 months. She ended up being 90% for height and weight, plus we always sized up before the "recommended" minimum weight the box would state. She just turned 2 and is in size 5 during the day and 6 overnight.
Whenever this deal happen again I will probably do this: one box of nb, 3 of 1, 4 of 2 and 2 of 3. Target is pretty great about exchanging for a different size, as long they don't change anything between now and whenever. Thats the other reason why im going to wait.

@vrj0522 is right, though: For size 1, let's say: An average of 10 diapers per day is 300 in one month, so if diapers come in 100/box, you can safely get 3 boxes and be assured you'll use them all.
P.S. At one point, I got a tad bit frustrated by all the cardboard boxes sitting on the floor in the baby's room (storage issues) so I threw a small tablecloth over a stack of 3 boxes (2 right-side up, 1 turned on its side) and it was the perfect height for a chair-side table surface for all the things I needed within reach during feedings (water, granola bars, magazines, burp cloths, baby books, phone charger, etc.).
And dittox10 on the weirdness of sizing. My son was born 8lb 7oz and we started with 1's and just folded the top down for his umbilical stump.

Bought two size 1's and a mess of 6's. Excited for the gift cards, momma will be buying some maternity clothes with those.

I just needed to share that I've been on the diaper aisles for probably 20 minutes and have done more math than I have since that time I failed calculus in college. It's also awkward because my mom is with me (she doesn't know I'm pregnant) and I have to keep coming up with reasons I might need small size diapers... Well, you never know when someone might have a shower! *siiiiiiigh*
