Wow - Nice Diaper Savings :)

I somehow ended up with subscriptions to both Parents and Parenting: The Early Years magazines (I know one came from my mom, but I can't remember how I got the other one...another gift, I think!) and in this month's edition, both magazines contained coupons for 20% off diapers with Amazon.com. Over at Amazon, they're running a sale for 30% off diapers when you sign up for their Subscribe & Save service, which can be canceled at any time...they also have coupons for Pampers diapers and wipes on their coupon page! The stars have aligned, people! Here's what I did:

I bought a 204 pack of Pampers Baby Dry diapers, marked at $48.99 with $22.86 shipping. The diapers were marked down to $41.99, Amazon's price. I purchased through the coupon page to save $1.50. I signed up for Subscribe & Save to save 15% off any item, plus an additional 15% off diapers for a limited time. I then used both coupon codes from my magazines to take off an additional 20% each off the original price, for a total of 40% off or $16.80 saved. Amazon also offers free 2 day shipping on all diapers, wipes, and formula orders, so that took off the$22.86 shipping fee. I paid a grand total of $11.09 for 204 diapers - that's just over $.05 per diaper and the cheapest price I think I've ever paid! Between the 14% Amazon markdown, the 30% savings for using their subscription service, the stacked 40% savings with the coupons, and the coupon from their coupon page, I saved over 85%!!

The only drawback is that using the subscription service forces you to only buy one item, and I could really use wipes as well. I did recruit my mom to ask around at work and hopefully she comes up with a coupon or two, but if not, I may just go out and buy another copy off the stands. I'll have to calculate it out and see if it nets me a savings.
