Where to find the best online prices for diapers

Posted by Johan on Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Moms are always searching for the best deals for diapers and with so many options available for purchasing this baby necessity, it can make your sleep-deprived head spin! We've taken one specific package of diapers and compared its price at five different online retailers to find the best deal for diapers online.

best online prices for diapers

For equal comparison purposes, we used a box of Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers in size three as our reference diaper. There is no specific reason that we chose this diaper over others to use in our comparison, other than that it is carried regularly at all five online retailers. Sales tax for your state may apply to these prices as well.
