Where to buy

After about a year of comparing prices at big box stores like Target to such sites as Amazon.com and Diapers.com, shopping online is the clear winner FOR MOST ITEMS in terms of price and convenience, as long as shipping is free. The downside is the wasteful packaging – please recycle!  Only Free shipping is available with an Amazon Prime membership ($79 annual fee) and better yet through the new free Amazon Mom membership.   I recently switched from Amazon Prime to Amazon Mom and received a prorated credit for my unused months. Signing up for Amazon Mom entitles you to 3 months of free 2-day shipping on Prime-eligible  items, and you earn an additional month each time you spend more than $25.  Select diapers and wipes are 20% off.  12/21/2011 NOTE:  AMAZON MOM IS CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS, BUT HAS A WAIT LIST WORTH JOINING. I also tried the Subscribe & Save program for additional savings, but it did not work for me as it is standard versus 2-day shipping.  That requires knowing too far in advance when you’re going to run out of diapers!
