I love coupons. When you love coupons and you wait 26 months for an adoption referral, funny things can happen. Long ago, while cutting out coupons back when we were in the early stages of our adoption, I had a thought. I thought, wow I hate throwing away all these diaper coupons when we're going to have to be spending so much money on diapers once our second child gets here. I wish I could just save them all up until we need them, but of course they would expire. Actual diapers never expire though, right? So I decided that if I was able to combine a coupon with a good deal and get a pack of diapers for under $5 or a pack of wipes for under $1 that I would go for it. This way I could stock up a little bit ahead of time on diapers and wipes to get ready for when we finally got our second little one home. Do this for over 2 years and you get..... well, see for yourself....
Yes, that is what you think it is. The closet in our guest bedroom filled with 43 jumbo packs of diapers and 27 packs of wipes:) For this adoption we had to be open to a child up to 3 years old, so I planned for an older baby and only bought diapers size 3 and larger. Had we recieved a referral for an older toddler, I would have been more than happy to donate the smaller diapers to a food pantry or shelter. MORE than happy. It just so happens though that size 3 diapers are for 16-28 lbs. and Alton is currently 16.5 lbs. :) Hee Hee!!
