How to Score Deals on Cloth Diapers

Find Sales and Discounts:

• Check out DiaperPin.com as lots of retailers advertise their sales there.
• Wait for holidays. Lots of retailers offer specials on holiday weekends. Black Friday, Mother's Day and Father's Day are big ones. Also keep an eye out on holidays you might not expect like Independence Day.
• Inquire about upcoming sales. One popular brand, BumGenius, tends to have a 'Buy 5 get 1 free' sale at least once a year. Retailers may also be planning their own sales. 
• "Like" cloth diaper retailers on Facebook and follow cloth diaper bloggers to hear about deals and coupons. I've read a few cloth diaper reviews and at the very end of the review found 5% off coupon codes for cloth diaper retailers.
• ALWAYS search online for a coupon code for your retailer before you submit your order! You may get lucky! (My hubby taught me this one!)
• Buy in bulk. Many retailers offer increasing discounts if you buy 3, 6, or 12 or more diapers. If your favorite retailer does not offer such a discount, try to find a place that does and request a price match. Also, if you place a large order, you may qualify to receive a free gift at certain retailers.
• If you are lucky enough to have a brick and mortar cloth diaper retailer in your area, join their mailing list and attend any special events they hold. I have received coupons and free merchandise this way. 

Buy Secondhand:

• Search your local Craigslist for the brand you are looking for or just do a search on "diaper" to see what comes up.
• Some cloth diaper retailers have Gently Used sections on their websites including Nicki's Diapers, Diaper Junction, and Jillian's Drawers. These diapers are often returns through the retailer's own short-term trial program, so the diapers are typically in Excellent Used Condition but are cheaper than buying new. If you have a brick and mortar store near you, ask if they have a gently-used section in-store. You may find some deals there that are not advertised on the website!
• Some websites are dedicated to cloth diaper resale including Cloth Diaper Trader, Re-Diaper.com, and Diaper Swappers. Diapers on these sites may vary from Excellent to Good Used Condition. Be sure to find out whether you will be responsible for shipping costs before purchasing on a resale site, as shipping costs can be significant.
