Diapers

A "Good Deal" Isn't Always a Good Deal

Getting the best diaper value for the money.


I recently bought a HUGE box of diapers at an equally HUGE discount store. I got a great deal on them, paying about half of what I would have paid for the name brands. I figured that the only thing I might be sacrificing was a little extra absorbency which wouldn't be a big deal because I change my son's diaper very frequently. So I got my huge box home, still quite proud of my find, and promptly put one of the new diapers on my son. Everything was fine - for about five minutes. As soon as I sat down to feed him, I felt something warm and wet soaking through my shirt. His diaper had already sprung a leak! Certain that this was a fluke, I put him in another bargain diaper. Two hours later, I was changing shirts -- again! While it didn't happen with every single diaper, there were frequent enough leaks that I knew my good deal was actually a dud.
