**Thanks to Amy at whosaidnothinginlifeisfree.com for a 20% off code found in Parenting magazine!

Grand total of $75.72 for 636 diapers = about $0.11 per diaper
I think the last pack of diapers I bought was $8.99 for 36 size 2 diapers which equals $0.24 a diaper... huge savings!


The trick to this is to make sure you cancel the subscription once you get the email saying order has shipped so you don't get charged again next month. You get the savings without having to commit to the subscription!


CVS 7/20/2010

I got paid to shop at CVS! Here's how it breaks down:

What I bought:
Celsius Green Tea $7.99
(2) CVS Pantiliners $1
(2) Pretzel M&Ms $1
Schick Quattro $8.99
Ritz Crackers $0.99

Coupons Used:
$4/$20 CVS purchase
$4 Schick Quattro
$1 Nabisco crackers (adjusted to $0.99)
$0.50 BOGO M&M
Total = $8.48 + tax = $9.82

Got back:
$7.99 Celsius ECB
$1 CVS Pantiliner ECB
$1 Pretzel M&Ms ECB
$4 Schick ECB
Total = 13.99 ECBs

So, my OOP cost was $9.82, but I got back $13.99 to use next week, which makes my transaction a $4.17 moneymaker!
