Hi all, bout time I stocked up on some newborn disposables for the impending arrival in December. Can anyone give me an idea of what is a good price to pay? babies.co.nz currently have the Huggies 144 newborn pack for $49.99 (.35c per nappy), delivery $7.50 extra. Is that about as good as it gets or are the occasional supermarket specials better value?
Thanks heaps! ------------- Me35 DH40 2010 CPPx8 cycles-BFN Feb 11 lap surgery for Stage 3 endo Dec 11 welcomed DD July 12 started TTC #2 June 13 angel baby |

| I don't buy many disposables - but, if you can get the big huggies box for about $40 or under, that's a good special. I think K-Mart always has them for $40. :-) |

We used huggies when our DD was new. Huggies are a good brand but buy them on special and you can use your vouchers also at supermarkets. So this will give you an extra $5 or so off & you don't have to pay freight.

On special at the supermarkets and the warehouse at $40. The specials come around fairly often, just keep an eye out for it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Www.babyonline.co.nz - Babyonline . I didn't use a lot of sposies when the were new, but these worked well and they work out cheaper than Huggies.
Eta I used the Dryups ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Countdown usually have boxes of Huggies on sale for around $39 quite regularly and if you have a $5 off voucher (Bounty pack from MW?) then that's a good saving.
Be aware though if you have a large baby you may not get to use a whole box of NB size. I bought a box but baby was born 5.2kgs - too big for NB size - had to give nappies away. -------------

| PS $49.99 is still more expensive than buying a box not on special at the supermarket! |

the babies.co.nz boxes are a bit bigger than the supermarket jumbo boxes. i've found warehouse and countdown/woolworths ofthen have the jumbo boxes for $38/$39 and that's better than the online one's i've seen.
after they're past the new born liquid poo phase i don't think you need the 'best' nappy for day wear. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

The supermarket always have specials and you can use any huggie vouchers you get as well.

| Warehouse has newborn huggies for $8.99 30pack which is 30c a nappy. I brought 6 packs and hav gone thru them all in 19 days baby was 6lb12 when born and now 8lb will go buy another couple packs this size say they will fit till 9lb. Treasures newborn are a slightly bigger fit. to will go onto them next. The bigger size huggies infant are miles too big for him yet as also have 1 of them stashed. |

DD has only ever worn huggies as they have been a great nappy. I did try treasures one time and they were useless. I buy them on special and sometimes stock up so I don't run out in a hurry. Last box I brought was at countdown for $39.99 so newborn nappies will be less than 30 cents. Now if I only wish she will starting using the potty at just over 3 years |

I agree on the Huggies being the best! I stock up when theyre on special. Found newborns lasted her a while (she was born 9lbs), probably a month and a half or so.. Then the infant size was only about a month, then she has been on crawlers since then (is now 8.5kg, almost 9mths). I have tried other brands from time to time (for daycare!) but they just dont compare (for us - different bubba shapes tend to suit diff nappies so if you find huggies dont work well, just try another  )
