Diapers are expensive. Especially if you just pick them up at the grocery store. Convenient, but pricey. So I've got my diaper-buying down to a discount science. I go to Target for my disposables and wipes, and I go to Babies R Us for our gDiaper inserts. We use cloth diapers at home during the day, but we use the biodegradable gDiaper disposables at night for absorbancy and traditional disposables when we're out and about. I can only find the gDiapers at Babies and Target has the best price around (now that we dropped our Costco membership).I hate making these special trips once a month or so. It's such a time-waster.
I just have to share my new discovery: Amazon Mom. My friend Rachel told me about it. Here's what it boils down to: It's free. It comes right to your door. Delivery is free. And the prices are better than anywhere else. How perfect is that?
Here are the details: You sign up for Amazon Mom, which is free, and you are automatically given a 15% discount on products for mom and baby. They also run special deals on other products, like right now they have some for Father's Day.
You are automatically given the benefits of Amazon Prime members, which usually costs a membership fee. Amazon Prime gives you free two day shipping on anything, not just Amazon Mom products. And as long as you continue purchasing a certain dollar amount of Amazon Mom products (I think $25), this benefit is extended for another month. Just from the two packages of diapers I ordered, and a pack of cloth diaper liners (something I can only find in specialty stores, so I seldom buy), I now have free shipping through October.
Here's the best part. When you select the diapers or wipes you want delivered, you have the option to "Subscribe and Save." You can select to have that product delivered every month, two months, three months, or six months. By selecting this option, you save 30% on that product. And it comes automatically without having to think about it. That kind of thing makes me nervous because I don't always want to be locked in, but you can change the frequency or cancel altogether at any time.
You can also buy formula, bottles, baby food, carseats, strollers, and maternity clothes--all with the 15% discount and free shipping.
How genius is that? Saving time AND money. I'm so used to having to choose one or the other. I'm in mommy heaven.

I found your blog via your FB page, which I found via Melissa Sawatzky's FB page :-) We met at Jeff's birthday a month or so ago, and every time I think about needing a good book to read I wonder if I'll ever see yours! I signed up for Amazon Mom when it first came out, but haven't used it since, after reading your post, I think I should look into it again.
