Even the baby gets to save on items

Diaper costs can add up quickly.

Your newborn, for example, can go through at least 10 diapers every day. And while generic diapers tend to price out around 12 to 13 cents each, brand-name diapers are more than twice that, at 27 to 34 cents each. The green and organic brands? They can easily be 28 to 50 cents each!

Here are some ways to save money on diapers.

Shop at Aldi: Some 40 percent of parents say they spend more than $80 on diapers each month.

What if you could take that cost down big time? Aldi says it can save you in excess of $1,200 a year on diapers, formula and snacks.

Aldi launched a new line of baby products called Little Journey in August and they’re promising savings of up to $400 on diapers alone.

Search out coupons for brand names: If you’re more partial to name brands than store brands, you’ve got to find coupons for your diaper purchases.

Diaper-Coupons.org does a great job of keeping on top of all the latest offerings. They even have an app that allows you to clip coupons right from your phone.

Shop the warehouse clubs: Buying in bulk is always a great idea for anything that you’re going to be using a lot of.

Costco is known for the quality of its Kirkland Signature brand, which starts at 16 cents per diaper.

Sign up for Amazon Family: If you’re a parent, you may want to give Amazon Family a try. You can start out with a free three-month trial period of this Amazon Prime service. Just like the regular Prime, you get the benefit of free shipping and pay a $99 yearly fee. Amazon Family perks include 20 percent discounts on staples like diapers and other family essentials.
