I’ve gotten away from this weekly feature, highlighting the different diaper prices. But, I have a friend, who is pregnant, just found out she’s having a boy (yay!) and today she told me she wants to start her diaper stockpile. So I promised her I would try to stay on top of doing this each week.

I’m often asked what I think is a good price for diapers or wipes. Get out your phones at the stores and figure out what you’re paying, per diaper or wipe. This is what I tend to go by:

Diapers: Anything below $0.15 per diaper is my stockpile price. How many I would get would depend on how low it actually is. At $0.12-$0.15 per diaper, yeah, I’d get several. Below $0.10–I’d go nuts, lol. At $0.15-$0.20, I’d get a few if I needed them. Anything over that, only if I absolutely need them.

Wipes: 1 penny per wipe and under, stock up! $0.02 per wipe, yeah, I’d get them but not go crazy. $0.03 per wipe, only if I need them. Think about your average tub of wipes that holds approximately 70 wipes–the average asking retail price, no discounts, is over $3. That’s over $0.03 per wipe!

Now, on to some deals this week.

Walgreens-the infant care booklet and the monthly booklet both have coupons for Huggies wipes. Mfr coupon for $0.50 last week, makes them $0.99 per tub, or about $0.015 per wipe.

Yesterday’s inserts had a $2 Walgreens Huggies diaper coupon, that can be stacked with a mfr Huggies coupon, and it’s good through September. Hang on to it, if Coupons.com runs another $2 or $3 Huggies printable……could be some great deals.

Huggies are on sale for 8.99 a jumbo pack at Walgreens, so even if you have the $2 coupon plus the $1.50 mfr coupons, not a bad deal, but I wouldn’t go crazy.

Superfresh-no diapers or wipes deals listed, assume full price. They are advertising the 216 ct wipes, Huggies for $5.99. That’s $0.028 per wipe–almost 3 cents. It adds up! This is one of the reasons you have to closely evaluate what you’re paying at warehouse clubs. Big packages doesn’t always mean lower prices.

Acme-Running the $5 catalina deal, but the $5 catalina is ONLY good for Pampers products, not on just anything. Still if you have Pampers coupons plus catalinas to burn from all their other offers recently, not bad.

CVS-store brand diapers are $6.99 a pack, or about $0.27 per diaper. Huggies & Pampers are $8.99. Unless you get some rockin’ coupons to go with these prices, or have Extra Care Bucks to burn, I wouldn’t do it. On the back page, there is an offer on the boxed ones. Without any coupons, that deal comes to about $0.20 per diaper, with coupons-$0.17-$0.19 per diaper. Worth considering if you need them.

Rite Aid has Luvs for $16.99 with $2 back in UPs rewards.

Target has the big boxes for $30, then a $10 gc when you buy two big boxes. So, about $60, minus any coupons, then get a $10 gc. Do the math first, maybe it’s a good deal.

Babies R Us has the ugly denim ones on sale for $5 a pack. Not bad per diaper, again, do the math as these packs have fewer diapers in them than regular packs.
