    nappies

    Can anyone tell me cheapest place to buy nappies? Price seems to vary a handy bit between super value, Tesco, boots etc.

    Someone should invent an app for this, like pumps.ie.

    you have to watch for offers but once you are out of new born then go lidl. best and best price. 8 years using them and they are perfect.

    Mrs Kavy agrees. She also says that when you see offers for "brands" that you like break it down to cost per unit.

    10c per is about the best you"ll get.

    I'm lucky enough to have Costco wholesalers in the UK.

    Tesco often do good offers, but the Costco offers, when they do them, are gold.

    On the downside I often have 6 boxes of nappies in the garage.

    Watch Tesco and buy in bulk for as far ahead as you can. They periodically do very good deals on packs of 90 odd nappies.

    Of course don't buy too much if your kid's a fast grower.

    It's a shop around thing, most stores have some deal every month or so on baby stuff, always check per unit price. sometimes the deals arn't that great in reality.

    Re brands, every kid is different and some brands don't seem to fit some kids, find Huggies aren't good on No. 3 but have had no problems on the others. It's a matter of trial & error at times

    We tried all the usual "brands" which were quickly disposed of in favour of the Tesco own brand or the Lidl ones, for pure quality they are far superior and of course cheaper which is a bonus, thankfully that is behind us now, I nearly went to the pub the first night we realised we didnt have to go for nappies!!!

    Supervalue doing a 'deal' on boxes of 108, but when u break it down its the same per unit as buying 25. This per unit thing is very handy.

    YOu have spotted the offer trick! Just becasue it says it is an offer does not make it an offer.

    I checked in Lidl yesterday and their first size is Number 3 which in fact covers 4-8kg which most Irish babies will get born straight into!
