Great Deals - Or not so great

[K.T.]

Sandy has said many times she finds really good deals using EBay. Once she told of buying a case of Depends for a lot less. I have tried to find deals on EBay but don't have the patients. I myself like going to the clearance sections of stores to find things.

Well last night and today I couldn't believe the deal I got at Walgreen. I went to pick up some meds and always walk down the adult diaper isle. I stopped in my tracks. They were getting rid of Depends, all types except for the adjustable pull ups. I picked up 3 bags of the maximum briefs for only $3.79 a bag and then the lady checking me out, took a coupon that had printed out, and used it for me. So three bags of maximum briefs were only about $9. This morning I stopped at another one on the way to work and picked up another 3 bags for $10. I know they are not that good, but for short periods of time and to have some around for emergency, I couldn't help not get them.

What deals or not so deals have you gotten lately??

For that price I would have bought them. Hey with a booster they aren't all that bad.........................Sandy

I usually dont bargaian shop for diapers because i get mine free from the state..but, occasionally i check the local goodwill to see if someone donated some in my size that i cant get otherwise.. a month or so a go, i found 7 packages of attends breathable size medium for 3 dollars a package. I first bought 3.. but then, went back and cleared them out. At first i wasnt going to buy them, because i get them free from the state..but then i realized, it doesnt hurt to have spares. So, right now i have about 6 packages in my house along with my state-suppiled complement.. i got enough to last me for quite a while.

I haven't checked any of the local Wallgreens for Depend products yet. I don't know that I'm really that desperate or in need of a bargain. I did get two full cases of Attends w/waistband off of craigslist last month for $60. I figured that was a pretty good deal, and I don't mind the Attends... they're good to wear to work and what-not. I still prefer my Abri-forms... but sometimes it's okay to compromise in order to save a buck.

Dang, attends w/waistband are my faves i think..howd you get so lucky?

Ebay has been dead for great deals as of late Either you can get the really cheap ones dirt cheap. You know the ones that make Depends look good Or the good ones lately have been as much as you'd pay in the stores. ...................................Sandy

I concur sandy..i haven't found any good deals on disposables, although some cloth ones look a bit tempting.. i think.. not sure if i wanna go cloth..too complicated, and too much work..

My fiancee is trying her hand at sewing cloth diapers for me at home... Wal-mart is having a big sale so we bought a lot of flannel... we'll see how they turn out when she finishes them.

I went in Wal-mart the other day and walked by the adult diaper aera and they had depend pull ups for around $4 with me having some control they work during the day if not out too long.
