Diapers are a harried parent’s best friend. Not only do they save you those thousands of trips to the toilet, but they also make travelling with babies significantly easier. But they have a sneaky way of pushing your monthly expenses beyond your budgeted amount. Figuring out how to save money on diapers and finding out the cheapest way to buy diapers is definitely a dream for every new parent.
Diapers are essential to child care and hygiene. No parent can deny their role in putting their child down for a disturbance free sleep at night or taking a day out. But the problem with diapers is that they are anything but cheap. And to top that, an average baby uses 5-7 diapers every single day. With close to 4500 diapers being used by your baby before he/she can be potty trained, this is a big cost head which pinches every parent. So here are some tips to help you save money on diapers.
1. Throw a diaper shower
This is the best way to save money on diapers
if you are going to be a first time parent. Turn your traditional baby shower into a diaper shower and let all the guests know that diapers are going to be the only acceptable gift. It will save you many emergency trips to the supermarket for a diaper run.
2. Draw up a diaper budget in advance
The reason most of us land up buying expensive diapers is because we never draw up a diaper budget. It may sound like a Scrooge-worthy move, but it pays in the long run. Always be aware of the amount you spend on every single diaper, it will make you a judicious user.
3. Avoid buying at retail price
Once you have figured out your per-diaper-price, always try to beat that price point. Beybiko Diapers (30 pcs) is only P121.50 per pack. You can start with buying in advance and never buying diapers in a hurry or in emergency.
4. Use diaper coupons
If you are wondering where to find diaper coupons, then start with subscribing to parental blogs, forums and online groups for parents. Several baby care websites also provide discount coupons in their monthly or fortnightly e-newsletters. You can also find discount coupons for diapers during promotional season of hypermarkets and supermarkets.
5. Look out for offers and diaper sale every week

7. Stock up and hoard
Dedicate special space for hoarding up diapers in your wardrobe. By buying larger packages and buying during sale season, you can save a huge amount. Remember, Beybiko Diapers (30 pcs) is only P121.50 per pack.
8. Keep a track of your baby’s diaper size
In order to stock up effectively and not waste money on wrong sizes, it is important to keep a track of your baby’s diaper size. If your baby has been using size 2 for the past few months, it would be better to hoard up on size 3 instead of buying tons of size 2.
9. Try local brands
Many local brands also come out with good quality diapers in the market. Like Beybiko Diapers, our cheapest is P49.20 for a pack of 12 pcs. Try us out and if it works for your baby, buy Beybiko instead of the branded diapers to save money. You’re not only saving money, you’re also supporting local brands.
10. Always calculate the value per diaper package
In the excitement of buying in bulk and saving up, don’t forget to check the quantity available per package. Even same priced packages from different brands can have varied quantities per package.
