I signed up for Amazon Mom a few months back but haven’t actually purchased anything from them. Well today I was on one of my coupon sites and one of the posts was for a box of wipes for $11 with free shipping. Since I know nothing of buying baby wipes and diapers yet I wasn’t sure how much of a savings that was. So I jumped on Walmart’s site and found the same box for $18.49, so $11 was definitely cheaper so I decided to order it.
Now I did have to sign up for Subscribe and Save so unless I cancel it will send me this same order in 6 months (you can choose 1-6 months for delivery). But I plan to cancel it as soon as it arrives, which is with free 2 day shipping. Also by using code MOMWIPES I saved an additional 10%.
While on Amazon’s site I decided to check out diapers. In my American Baby magazine I had a coupon for 20% off, then add that to the 30% savings of Subscribe and Save I figured I could get a box cheaper there than in the store.
I have quite a few newborn diapers already so I thought I’d get the next size up, size 2. I of course tried to check prices and I didn’t find the same count (184) package, but I did find a 152ct for $39 at Walmart. So the price of $20.99 that I paid was almost a 50% discount. Looking back I should have ordered several boxes, lol.
But I do have another 20% off coupon and once this package arrives I will cancel my S&S and re-order.

I plan to check all of my Baby magazines I have for coupons and continue ordering diapers from Amazon as long as they are cheaper. I have a few different brands now as I’m not sure what brand we will primarily use, I don’t think I will know that till the baby is here. But since I can order any brand I want with the coupons it won’t matter, I will probably order a few different kinds until he is here and then see what works the best.
Anyone else use Amazon mom to purchase baby stuff? Does it actually save money in the end?
