If you are the mom of a diaper hugging little one,you surely wonder what is a good place to buy diapers.
If you are a regular of a discount warehouse club such as Costco or Sams you definitely wonder sometimes that are you really saving by buying there?
A credible answer has emerged in the form of Amazon and it's combination of Amazon Mom and "subscribe and save" program.
don't fret about having to dig through all the jargon- I am going to de-mystify the whole thing.
here are the inner details on how it all works:
Step 1: sign up for Amazon mom
You can sign-up for Amazon mom here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/mom/signup/info
Signing up is free and once you do, you get free Amazon prime shipping(free 2 day shipping) on ALL your purchases for three months!
Yes, you read it right. It's one of the amazing secrets of Amazon mom. Not only do you get free shipping on all baby related purchases such as diapers or baby gear but on all your non-baby purchases as well! In order words, if you want to order that 75 cents iphone cable, go ahead and order it with automatic free shipping!
This free shipping benefit will get extended by 1 month(for a maximum of 12 months) everytime you make a $25 + baby related purchase.
2. Subscribe and save
This is an amazing program that let's you save upto 30% off on your purchase when you sign up for recurring deliveries.
what you can do is --> order let's say diaper pack covered under the subscribe and save offer and choose "delivery every 6 months". This becomes a subscription where they will send you a refill of your order every 6 months.
This way once your diaper package arrives, you can always go to the "active subscriptions" tab and cancel your order- no further charge will be incurred.
This has consistently been the cheapest way of ordering diapers as millions of moms and dads like us have discovered over the past year since the program was launched.
let's take an example:
luvs diapers size 4 (204 diapers)
click on the link above to see the amazon page showing diaper price of $38 for luvs diapers size 4 - a package of 204 diapers. on the page, you will see subscribe and save option that saves you 5% bringing cost to 18 cents per diaper.
However, if you have signed up for amazon mom, you will actually see subscribe and save discount of 20% bringing the cost down to $30.39 or 15 cents per diaper. That's the magic of having joined Amazon mom!
Happy diaper shopping!
