bargain alert

'Huggies' bulk boxes of nappies are on sale at Safeway. $29.99. Get them now.

In my experience this sale cycle repeats only once every three months, so buy two or three boxes. And consider that your baby may grow and get the next size up too. You will use them and will curse when the price goes back to $42.

Has anyone tried the Aldi nappies? They're supposed to be cheap and good. I was given a copy of the Choice article about disposable nappies, but they failed to mention Aldi. Huggies win, and I actually agree. Nothing worse than being woken from a night time (read:longer) sleep by an unhappy baby in a leaky nappy, who then needs feeding, rocking and patting before you all can go back to bed. Just because of a crappy nappy. Save yourself the pain and spend the 8c.

Note: I have posted the link to Choice, which is a brilliant consumer tool. But the article I mentioned is available to subscribers only. However, do have a look at what's available for free. You'll find an archived article discussing nappies from 2003. There's very useful information there, if you're looking to make a big purchase (like a cot or car seat) but have no idea about what to look for. And it's not just for babies. Many aspects of consumer interest are covered- whitegoods, blackgoods, banking and finance products are rated and tested. Your thinking done for you. Love it! And for the better part, it's free.
