Bargain Quest

Forget politics; let’s talk Pampers. Starting this month, it’s costing even more to keep my little guy’s tushie clean and dry, as diaper manufacturers Kimberly-Clark and Proctor & Gamble implement a price increase of approximately $1 per jumbo pack. I read on Baby Cheapskate that it was going to happen, and now see it reflected in stores advertising $9.99 as a sale price for jumbos.

I haven’t paid full price for a pack of diapers yet, and don’t plan to start anytime soon (Although I’ve discovered all plans are flexible with a two-month old). So I’m taking advantage of this week’s Kimberly-Clark deal at CVS: Buy $30 of selected products including Huggies (on sale for $8.99), get $15 ECB’s. I know I said I’m spending down my ECB’s, but combine that deal with manufacturer coupons and a leftover $10 off $50 CRT, and it’s too good to pass up.
