Fun and Frugal

If you’re a Pampers fan, you may want to head over to Babies R Us or Toys R Us for their promotion going on now.  When you buy 3 value-size boxes of Pampers, you get a free $15 gift card!  Plus they have a rewards program where you buy 9 value boxes and get your 10th free.  Here’s what I got this weekend:

3 value-sized boxes of Pampers size 5 (156 count boxes) for $41.99/ea

less two $1.50 manufacturer’s coupons and one $2 manufacturer’s coupon

= $120.97

less $15 gift card back is like spending $105.97 for 468 diapers or $.23 per diaper plus tax, plus I have earned my free 10th box and will get a coupon in the mail for it.

Last year, I did a similar scenario on 1-31-09 and got an even better deal because I had $5 off Pampers store coupons I had gotten in the mail that I stacked with manufacturer coupons.  Their prices have gone up $1.30 per box over the last year.

I also really like the Babies R Us store brand diapers for around the house, which are on sale 2 value boxes for $35 (reg $24.99) saving you $7.49 per box!  Size 5 comes in 116 per box, so $.15 per diaper plus tax!

If you want to do the math on different sizes before heading to the store, you can search what they offer online at babiesrus.com.
