How To Stockpile For Baby
Babies, as cute as they are, can be expensive. But if you know what is a good stock up price then you can start planning and saving for the big event. You can build quite a nice stockpile for a very reasonable price (even free) with a little know-how on your part. Here are the best stockpile prices so you can be prepared.
Stockpiling Diapers
The best way to know a bargain when shopping for diapers is to look at the per diaper cost. As your baby increases in diaper size there are less diapers per package so keep that in mind as well. To figure the per diaper cost simply take the cost of the entire pack and divide it by the number of diapers in the pack.
Name Brand Diapers – these tend to be a bit more expensive then the store brands.
• Size 1 – $0.12 per diaper
• Size 2 – $0.14 per diaper
• Size 3 – $0.16 per diaper
• Size 4 – $0.18 per diaper
• Size 5 – $0.21 per diaper
Store Brand Diapers – often just as good and often made by the same manufacturer.
• Size 1 – $0.09 per diaper
• Size 2 – $0.10 per diaper
• Size 3 – $0.12 per diaper
• Size 4 – $0.14 per diaper
• Size 5 – $0.15 per diaper
Great Deals on Baby Wipes
Again, the best way to look at it is per item – per wipe in this case. When you read the list below be mindful we are not talking $0.15 (fifteen cents) per wipe but $0.015 or one and half cents. Here are the best deals.
Baby Wipes –$0.015 per wipe
Other Baby Products
• Diaper Cream – you can usually score this for between $1.00 – $1.99 each.
• Baby Products – Shampoo, Body Wash, Powder, etc. These are good at between $0.75 – $1.50 each This is store brand. Name brand will be a bit more.
Formula Deals
Formula – Don’t stock up too much before birth until you know what works best for baby. No sense in having something on hand you can’t use. When you do know here are the best prices:
• Name Brand – $0.59 oz. @ $14.00
• Store Brand – $0.25 oz. @ $8.99
What Is A Good Stock Pile Amount?
• Newborn Diapers – 1-2 Packs (more if your baby looks to be tiny)
• Size 1 – 10-12 Packs
• Size 2 – 5-0 Packs
• Size 3 – 40-50 Packs (they stay in size 3 -4 the longest)
• Size 4 – 40-50 Packs
• Size 5 – 7-10 Packs
• Diaper Rash Cream – 12 – 15 tubes
• Wipes –50 – 100 Packs – Who can’t use wipes?
• Formula – Again wait until you know what you need and then go for a 6 month supply
• Diaper Rash Cream – 12 – 15 tubes
• Baby Shampoo/Body Wash/Powder/Lotion –These will vary depending on what you use. Figure around 30 each but much less of powder. 5 – 10 of those should suffice.
