New Couponer and Soon to be New Mom - Looking for Advice on Baby Items

[couponhelp]

I used to think I was a pretty good shopper, but just started "couponing" and realize I can save a lot more!

I'm looking for advice/ comments on how much to spend on the following baby necessities (and how you get the deals!):

- Baby wipes
- Baby diapers
- Diaper cream
- Shampoo, wash, etc

Feel free to add any other baby items that I might not even know I will need!

Thanks for your help...

Welcome to SmartCanucks!!

Baby supplies... buy in bulk when there are specials.. Use coupons..
You can get Huggies/Pampers coupons for Wipes/Diaper from save.ca/brandsaver.ca.
You can call J&J to get J&J baby coupons.. Aveeno $3 off, J&J products $1 off etc..

I try to never pay more than $0.15/ a diaper. I use pampers...but if you watch the sales and compare box sizes is the best way to do it. There are about 4 or 5 different sizes so I find it best to determine the sale price per diaper. Sometimes it looks like a good deal then you work it out and you are paying $0.21 a diaper! Yikes!

As far as wipes, the best deal is Costco by far (for their brand) but I also use pampers wipes - you can find the refills on sale every few weeks for a great price! I trade for Pampers coupons....that's how I got started with coupons all together, now I can't stop LOL!!!!

Oh also make sure you sign up for all the freebie sites! You'll get samples and coupons that you can trade if you don't want to use them
