If you have a baby in the city (or anywhere else for that matter) think twice before you go out and buy diapers and other supplies from local stores like CVS, grocery stores, 7-Eleven, etc. Even Walmart can be expensive when you consider that you can't just go there for diapers and baby supplies. Sure they are "somewhat" convenient, but you PAY for this convenience. Especially when you buy these regular things from your local grocery or drug store in small quantities as you need them. If you are on a budget, or just a smart shopper seeking the absolute best buy on diapers (nappies), wipes, breast milk bags, etc. these items are best purchased ONLINE and delivered in bulk.

It is the difference between spending as little as $0.16 per diaper or spending over $0.50 per diaper. Buying online in many cases means you will NOT pay sales tax and some online stores like Amazon will even deliver to your door for free if you purchase at least $25 per order. When you have a baby in the city and can avoid humping large packages of fluff all over town you will kick yourself when you learn that not only do you NOT need to carry large bundles but you are paying nearly twice as much buying from your local store. The following items are not only the best products you can buy but also at the absolute best price and if you select super-saver shipping, by simply planning ahead you can save a minimum of $20 per month or about $240 per year.

Having gone through several times, here is a way you can know the best products you can buy at the correct time (weight and frequency).

Supplies for babies from 1 year+ (22-37 lbs)

Personal Recommendation: Cruisers are hands down the best diaper. They are the softest, they don't leak, and can withstand the worst your child can mess.	Personal Recommendation: The best wipes with weakest scent we have been able to find. Papers-brand cost more, but if you buy bulk you can witness (and enjoy) the quality.
Diapers [BUY]	Refill [BUY]
These are for babies from 22 up to 37 pounds. Each package will last about a month (~30 days) so plan ahead. I recommend two boxes at a time.	Refill for wipes container. This refill will last just over 2 months (~72 days) so plan ahead.
Cost: ~$0.28/per diaper	Cost: ~$0.04/wipe

Laundry cleaning supplies

During your baby's first few years, they are MOST sensitive to allergens. Beyond starting babies on solid food TOO early (before 6 months) laundry detergent and other cleaning supplies your baby is exposed to is the next highest risk of them developing allergies. To combat this, we recommend "free and clear" laundry products from "All". These "free and clear" type detergents work every bit as good as your old detergents, only they don't leave residue or scents behind on cloths. Once you get used to your cloths not smelling of anything, you will find traditional scented detergents repulsive. Note, if you are using CLOTH DIAPERS, these become a MUST have. Do not skimp on detergent!

Personal Recommendation: We have tried CVS brand clear laundry detergent and it never quite got the cloths clean enough. If you order in bulk, the best detergent (All Free and Clear) is the same cost as CVS brand. WE PREFER the liquid detergent over the powder for cold washes, but dry works as well only you have to add it to the water before the cloths go in.	Personal Recommendation: The best wipes with weakest scent we have been able to find. Papers-brand cost more, but if you buy bulk you can witness (and enjoy) the quality.
Laundry Detergent (Free and Clear) [BUY]	Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets [BUY]
Provides about 6 months worth of laundry detergent. Perhaps less if you are washing cloth diapers.	Provides over a year's worth of fabric softener.
Cost: ~$0.14/per laundry load	Cost: ~$0.04/sheet

What works for us is to place a new order on the day before you know you will need to break into your last package. Supersaver shipping usually takes about a week to arrive but because it is free (tax free and free shipping), you just can't beat that kind of deal anywhere. We order new wipes as we start the last package as well however you can NEVER have enough wipes on hand. Baby wipes like these can be used until your baby is out of diapers.
