Amazon Mom: I'm Hooked!

On the heels of yesterdays coupon post, I wanted to share an awesome savings that I got yesterday using Amazon Mom.

I always get Ilah's diapers from Babies-R-Us or Buy Buy Baby, and I always buy the large value box that costs around $43. Since diapes are a necessity, I never really thought of them as expensive; I always just considered them as a "must have" item and just like gas, whatever the cost is, is whatever the cost is. I've applied a few coupons here and there on her diapers that have saved me a few bucks, but nothing major. And then enters Amazon Mom. And for as long as Ilah will be in diapers, I will no longer buy diapers from anywhere else.

My girlfriend Vanessa {who now has a blog! Check it out} told me about Amazon Mom about a month or so ago, and shared how much she was saving in diapers. Hearing of her savings, you would have thought that I would have jumped on board, but I sorta just brushed it off. Getting diapers through the mail, while it seemed convenient, wasn't something that I was interested in. Why? I have no idea. I think it's because I was just used to my habit of buying diapers in a local store. I would always let Vanessa know when I came across a coupon code in a parenting magazine {I have suscriptions to 4 different ones that I get in the mail for free} that she could use for even more of an additional savings. This week I told her that I got a new code, but this time, she already had one. So I thought that I would give this Amazon Mom thing a try myself.

I went to Amazon.com/mom, signed up, and placed an order for Pampers Cruisers, size 4....

I saved 30% off the bat. With Subscribe & Save and Amazon Mom you get the standard 15% discount when you sign up for Subscribe & Save delivery. Combine that with an additional 15% savings exclusively for Amazon Mom members. The diapers went from $40.80 to dropping to $28.56 ($0.20 per diaper). Subscribe & Save shipping is always free. No fees, no risks, no obligations.

For even more of a savings on top of the 30% discount, I used two coupon codes that I had, that I recently ripped out of two different magazines...

Once those coupons were applied to my order, here is what my final cost came to:

I saved 75% {a savings of $30.40!!}. Is that not awesome!?!? And with FREE 2 Day Shipping! {I ordered these diapers last night and just got an email that they have been shipped out}. And that is why I will now forever order my diapers through Amazon Mom!!

PS - I initially ordered the wrong diapers {Pampers Baby Dry} at first and contacted Amazon through web chat. They refunded the cost of my first order, generated a $10 savings to my account that I could use to create a new order on the correct diapers that I meant to get, and is allowing me to keep, for free, the first value box of diapers that I ordered by accident. Great customer service! And no, I'm not getting any form of compensation to say any of this ; )
