Amazon Mom

Amazon Mom is a new membership program Amazon has started – it’s a great way to get cheap diapers, wipes, and other baby items. I had previously found that buying these items online usually wasn’t the best deal you can find, since you can go to any store’s sale armed with coupons and buy them cheaper. However, Amazon Mom has thrown out some incentives to warm us up to the idea of buying these items online.

First, you purchase items with the “Subscribe & Save” option which gives you 15% off. Subscribe & Save is a subscription where you tell Amazon what you want to order and how often you need it, then it will automatically ship your items to you every 1, 2, even 6 months. However, if you don’t want to subscribe, simply manage your subscriptions after your order is shipped and cancel that subscription. You still receive the 15% off on the order you placed. Next, when you join Amazon Mom you will get an additional 15% off certain items, making your total savings 30%!

Now here is what sweetens the deal – if you are a subscriber or regularly purchase Parents or Parenting magazines, there have been coupons inserted in those magazines for an additional 20% off diapers at Amazon! These have appeared in each issue for the last few months. I have been buying cases of diapers through Amazon for a while now, and I can’t beat the deals anywhere else. My most recent diaper purchase came out to spending 10.6 cents per diaper. That is a great stock-up price! I think my Sam’s Club’s price was 17-18 cents a diaper.

And guess what – Amazon even has online coupons you can use! Sometimes you have refresh the page until you find the coupons you want. There is usually a Pampers coupon listed, which takes another dollar off your diaper purchase.

So, round up your magazines and save those coupon codes. If you have them and don’t plan to use them, please share with someone who needs them. I would be very happy to take them off your hands to use and share, too. Let me know if you join and what deals you have found!
