Where To Buy Diapers & Wipes For CHEAP!

After hours of research I have found the top cheapest places and brands for where to buy your baby items! Now give or take if an item is on sale it could be cheaper. But never go over these prices!


**Target sometimes has great sales which will make the diapers cheaper than the price listed above:
Right now their UP & UP Diapers have a $10 promotional gift card with a purchase of two. So for example:

  • For Size 2 Diapers Qty 180, the price is $24.99 each. Multiply that by 2 = $49.98 than minus $10 for the gift card which equals out to $39.98. So I take $39.98 and divided by 360 (180x2=360) = $0.11 per diaper! 


  • For Size 3 Diapers Qty 180, the price is $24.99 each. Multiply that by 2 = $49.98 than minus $10 for the gift card which equals out to $39.98. So I take $39.98 and divided by 360 (180x2=360) = $0.11 per diaper!
    • For Size 4 Diapers Qty 156, the price is $24.99 each. Multiply that by 2 = $49.98 than minus $10 for the gift card which equals out to $39.98. So I take $39.98 and divided by 312 (156x2=312) = $0.13 per diaper!
    PLUS IF YOU HAVE A TARGET RED CARD YOU TAKE AN EXTRA 5% OFF THAT!!

    AND EBATES IS 2.5% CASH BACK AT TARGET!!

    DIY:: Baby Crib Sheet Tutorial

    How to Make Your own DIY Crib Sheet:
    Here is a Great Detailed Youtube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xr9yYjreT4
    What You will Need: 
    • Fabric- 2 Yards or 45"x 68" 
    • Elastic- 78" & 1/4" wide 
    • Measuring Tape, Scissors, Pins, Sewing Machine & Coordinating Thread
    • Iron Board and Iron



    • Cut an 8" Square from each of the 4 corners


    • It Should Look Like This:

    • Then grab the corner pieces and place right sides together, line up the edges and stitch. Also do a second zig zag stitch down to help from fray or tear.

    • Do it for all four corners

    • Fold all the edges twice about a quarter inch and iron and pin to create a crease for the elastic. Sew along the edges to close it. Leave a 1" opening at the end to put the elastic through.


    • Attach safety pins at the ends of the elastic to help thread it through easier. Pin one end to the opening of the fabric so it doesn't get threaded through on accident.

    • When the elastic is all the way threaded through stitch it together and then close the opening.


    • Here is the End Result!! Super Easy!

    I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!! 
    Enjoy!

    • My Steps:
      • What You Need:
        • Fabric: It depends on how many burp cloths you want.
          •  A 1/2 Yard makes a Qty of 4 - 9 1/2" x 22" Rectangular Burp Cloths 
          • You would need 2 different fabrics for front and back
            • I bought my fabric at Joann's
              • $3.28 Terry Cloth 1/2 yard- (after a 50% off coupon)
              • $6.20 1/2 yard Mustache Fabric From Etsy: Mustache Fabric Listing
              • Tip: 100% cotton SnuggleFlannel Fabric is Great To Use For Burp Cloths
        • Sewing Machine & Coordinating Thread, Scissors, Measuring Tape & Pins
        • TOTAL COST: $1.18 per custom burp cloth!
      • First cut the fabric into 4- 9 1/2"x22" rectangles

      • Put the pattern face down and pin along edges.
      • Sew them together leaving a 1-2" gap in the lower corner.
      • Turn them inside out.
      • Stitch the hole up by closely sewing to the edge.
      • Sew around the burp cloth a second time to create a more finished edge look.
      • {Optional} Wash Them to get the extra lint off and then iron them to get the wrinkles out afterwards
      • Thats It!! Super Easy!
    Here are some pictures of this Cute Set of Burp Cloths I made for my Best Friends Baby Shower.
    I wrapped it up in a bow along with her Car Seat Cover I made too!
