DailyDiapers Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 For those of us living paycheck to paycheck, how do you manage to keep supplied with diapers during the lean days and end of the month blues? 2 Link to comment
Cruiser 03 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Insurance gives me more than I can use back when I needed a diaper with Velcro that was considered premium , reimbursement on cloth was like 26 cents a month , so I said screw it and bought my own , so I always have a surplus as I only wear the disposables when going out . One year I had someone from the board who lost their job I gave them like 80 cases . It took them half a day to get here but the money they saved on diapers was huge miracle compared to a tank of gas . So fortunately I can always get through and share the love to others diaper wise , the explosion in food prices is not as easy , I leverage every trick I can to keep my house stocked and make my ends meet especially with onset of winter approaching and they are anticipating a bad one . 3 2 Link to comment
Little_Mouse Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I almost always buy my Tena slip maxi diapers that I use daily (some days and every night) when they are on sale. I always buy several packages at a time, so I have enough diapers until they come on sale again. I don't buy as many abdl diapers anymore so they aren't a strain on my budget. 2 Link to comment

That was extremely kind of you to help someone who lost their job and very heart warming to read! 3 Link to comment
drynot Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I know this doesn't help you now....but when times are tough I rely on my stash of diapers that I built up over the years. Instead of rainy day diapers I have soggy day diapers 😉 I could wear 1 diaper a day for over 3 years at this point. I also try to take advantage of sales that come up from time to time. Healthwick here in Canada just blew out cases of Rearz Lil Monsters for a reasonable price so I bought 2. As always....keep an eye on thrift stores. I've only ever found drug store brands in my local stores but hey.....you never know when you might come across a great brand for cheap. 1 Link to comment
babybuddha Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I completely understand the challenge of managing finances, especially when you're living paycheck to paycheck. One method that's been a lifesaver for me is using PayPal's Pay in 4 option. It allows me to split the payment into four manageable parts and pay it off over an 8-week period. If a website doesn't offer this payment method, I tend to avoid shopping there. It's been a great way to ensure I can keep supplied without feeling the financial strain all at once. Stay strong and resourceful! 1 Link to comment
Cute_Kitten Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Sales and comparing products + prices. Sometimes when the wallet is very lean I switch to lower capacity or cheaper diapers (though that does necessitate more changes verses a more absorbent diaper). And ramen. Sometimes I save on groceries by as cheap as possible to get more diaper money. Just throwing this out there in case anyone is looking for a premium diaper at a lower price compared to other premium diapers- Along with researching/ comparing various diapers + diaper vendors, I found the Sunkiss Masterpiece Adult Diapers in pink for about $33 for a 10 count bag on Amazon. I love these diapes- they're right up there with Rearz/ ABU etc) White ones are about $24 but I havent' tried them so I can't say how they perform. 1 Link to comment
DiaperboyEddie12 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 @DailyDiapers this last order for my case of diapers well I had to borrow to get it. And I will pay that person back over time. But my next case not sure how I am going to get. And as of now I need them when out of the house. I wish I had some deep pockets so I can stock up with a few cases. Link to comment
