Susan, what do you all pay for diapers at Costco? Is it really cheaper than the sales?

Aimee, I've been pricing them at Costco, and it worked out to about 13 cents a diaper. I've been able to find them at the same price point at Babies-R-Us, if coupons are taken into account.

(We were considering re-joining Costco, but the savings wasn't enough to make it worth our while.)

Yeah, I got a bunch of coupons from eBay and our grocery store doubles them up to a dollar so if I hit the sales....

I don't have a receipt handy at the moment, but IME they're several dollars cheaper for the big boxes than Safeway ever is, even with a sale. And they're always that cheap, so you don't have to time your shopping by sales.

Of course, I'm Costco's bitch in general. If it were just the diapers, I might not bother, but it's also formula, wipes, a lot of our staple food items, basic clothes for the whole family, etc.

Answering your incessant questions, little one.

You got that right.

I've been buying the Target brand "premium" diapers (the non-premium ones have sucky tabs), and they're fine for us. I think they're...$6.50-ish for the regular size pack? We don't have Costco (we have B.J.'s), but I can't get my butt over there often enough to compare.

I should add, that's the size 3 pack of 40 or so -- the jumbo pack of 80 is $10-something, I believe.

Am I being unreasonable for being pissed that they couldn't bother to unplug themselves from the video game to get ready in time for a get-together that had been planned for two weeks?

Not. At. All.

I'm mad on your behalf.

This type of thing would pre-dispose me to dislike the new BF, as well.

I'm judgemental like that.

I'm shaky with fatigue and can't focus. Dammit. My office was supposed to have a working lunch, adn the pizza got here late, and I was shaking with hunger before it got here (I even ate an apple in the meantime) and then it got here and it was pzza, so that didn't do much to stabilize blood sugar.

I just feel like shit, and have felt like shit all week.

feh rain

it took me turning the heat up and drinking hot chocolate which I don't do to get warm. I bet they wouldn't be happy to see me in jeans and a flannel shirt at work.

I'd be miffed. if there was a real reson - I probbably still be annoyed, but I'd get over it. sorry, slugg day is only an excuse if you call early , early in the day .

Idon't think slug day will work for work. feh.

I like the Pampers Baby Dry or Huggies Baby Shaped. The Huggies Premium suck.

Heh - talk of tampons and make-up has changed to talk of diapers and formula.

I buy Target-brand tampons, too. I'm cheap. Or Target's bitch, your call.

Target's Bitch. One way or another, most of us are.

Whore, that Target.

One of my students just read a poem based on her oceanography-based knowledge that sea slugs have both male and female genetalia and form a "congo line" of sorts to reproduce.

If you're having that kind of slug day, it might be more of an excuse.
