Hi everyone, today I went to a local thrift store called Goodwill in my area, I was looking around and to my suprise I found 8 packages of 14 (L) of molicare super plus for $3.99 per bag :shock: I saved around $138 dollars if I were to buy from xpmedical so that made my wallet happy 8) just wanted to let people know that if your trying to save money and get really cheap diapers check thrift stores like Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.. you will be suprised to what you might find if you don't already know.

Thats a good buy Shyguy! I would love to find Molicare in a thrift store. I have only tried a sample pack and would like to try them again. I remember them being pretty top notch. But in order to find them in a thrift store, I have to shop there first and I seldom do. My diapers are free anyway so it doesn't matter.

I hit up thrift stores fairly often and will often see adult diapers. Most of the time they are crap like Prevail, Per-Fit, Depend, etc... Occasionally you find something decent though.

Salt Lake City is a mecca for thrift stores, we've got them all over the place. I usually spend one saturday a month driving from store to store all across town. Found some great bargains that way, and not just on incontinence supplies.

I agree that thrift stores can be good places to buy supplies. With the economy the way it is, thrift stores are booming as people are always looking for the least costly alternative. On occasion I have seen partially used packages of diapers on sale for very reasonable prices. But they are generally stuff you can buy at big boxes, such as Depend and Walgreen and CVS house brands. I find thrift stores come in handy if I don't feel I can afford to buy a whole package of my usual products.

Same here, I buy them and use them around the house since they are usually only good for one wetting. One time I got so many that I had to pile them anywhere I could, even on the front seat of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Great find and I saved a bunch of money.

I got a case of Tena Supers last week at a thrift store for $36. They're not my favorite product since they are green and cloth backed, but for that price I couldn't pass them up. I stuffed them in a cabinet at the office for when I need to change at work.

I get alot of my diapers at thrift shops since neither my or my wifes insurance covers them. I really scored last weekend I found 11 Moxes of medium diapers for $10 per case. They are to small for my as I wear a large, but I plan on selling them on Craigslist for $25 a case and that will help me pay for the Abena Xplus's I use at night and long outings.
Take care,
John
