Thanks for your research! We arent lucky enough to have double and triple coupons in Florida. I found that with stacking coupons, BJ's is cheaper too.

Dana - there is a class offered at SAS about saving money on groceries. I noticed in an email I get about the classes being offered. It was already filled up this time but I would like to go b/c it seems like it will talk about coupons as well. :)

The price of a membership at BJ's is $40.00 a year. So yeah I guess you could factor that in. I buy several other things there that I believe help save us money as well but yeah there is still a cost to shop.

You should also look into coupons in the Sunday paper for diapers. Most grocery stores double coupons up to a dollar always and typically run quarterly specials where they triple coupons. If you save up the coupons and use them when the diapers on are sale, you get the sale price, plus the coupon, plus the doubled amount. Even though you would buy them pack by pack instead of the bulk way like at BJ's and Sam's, you might save more, because you're saving more per pack. (and there's no membership fees)

And just so you know, if you clip off the expiration date, they still scan normally. And most cashier's don't care if it is expired.

I used to sit for a lady who was really into "couponing" and you wouldnt believe how much money you can save, and there are ways to make it time efficient, so you're not clipping coupons every day. Just last year in 6 months, my mom saved over $860 and that's just for two people, no kids. You really could save a lot of money. You could actually be getting paid to shop at their store, just by using coupons.

What's the price of a membership at BJ's? That could factor into the overall cost.

I'd bet that the boxes for the diapers stay the same size, but the diapers themselves. Therefore, less diapers fit into the boxes as the size goes up.
