[blparent] Cloth Diapers Anyone?

Sun Sep 23 06:01:14 UTC 2012

Hi.  I think membership stores are the best way to go as well.  My family 
has a Sam's Club membership.  I've found that the meat is of a much better 
quality there, and lest costly than at stores like Wal-Mart or King 
Sooper's.  I like buying canned goods, cereals, and other nonperishable 
items in bulk because of the good deals and the convenience.  The best thing 
about Diapers.com is the convenience of having your items delivered, and the 
shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.  Also, the site is very 
accessible for screen readers, and the product descriptions are clear and 
thorough.

If your boys need pajamas, check at Costco this time of year.  I've gotten 
great deals on winter pajamas every fall since my daughter was born.  The 
ones I usually buy are fleece pajamas with feet in them.

Hello, Jo.

I didn't think you were trying to argue with me. <smile> I wrote as I
did because I did not want to come across as though I had all of the
answers in any particular area. I do not know if this is the case for
you, but for me I have a lot of trouble with e-mail correspondence.
Maybe I am over-analytical, but I can usually tell which route a
conversation si going by the tone of a person's voice when I am talking
with someone; when it comes to e-mail this is entirely the opposite.
That is why I always try to choose my wording carefully because I do not
want to write something which sounds as though I am the omniscient
authority on any particular subject because I honestly feel that the
more I learn, the less I know. <smile>

We never purchased through diapers.com. I actually did not know about it
until you mentioned it. We have a Costco membership here in Modesto, and
so my wife would pick up diapers when she would make her monthly Costco
trip. As you mentioned, out of all the brands we found that the Kirkland
diapers were the best. They would also have sales on them in the store,
discounting $10 or more off of the price at times.

I was skeptical of places like Sam's Club when we lived back east, but I
am sold on the whole membership deal nowadays. Costco is definitely a
great place to shop.
