I know a few peeps have recommended diapers.com but curious as to why? I checked it out and I think I must be missing something. With 3 in diapers now I'm looking for just about anything that will save me a few dollars.
I also started doing the Huggies enjoytheriderewards.com thing using the little code on the wipes and diaper packages. Not sure it's going ot be worth my time though.
Curious as to what else other parents have found / tried and what success they had.

What I would do is have your friends/family sign up at the huggies site so they get coupons too. That's all I got sorry, i'm a cloth momma.

pampers also has rewards (I like papers rewards over the huggies, seems like you get your rewards faster), disney movie rewards, if you have a local BJ's Wholesale they have coupons for huggies and pampers all the time in their store coupons, and they'll take the sunday paper coupons on top of their store coupons so if they have a $2.00 off huggies and you have a $2.00 off huggies you're saving $4. Their membership is $35 or I believe they have a rewards one for $100/year you get 2 % back on what you spend there every 6 months.
You can get the sunday paper for $2.00 or a double one for $2.50 so double the coupons (Just make sure the coupon books are in there if you get the double paper).
Coupons coupons coupons, When I do my grocery shopping I usually save around $100-150 a month just in clipping coupons (my mother in law didn't believe me until she went shopping with me and she was in awe, now she's a coupon fiend). Clip coupons for things you already use and not things you go OOOHHH A COUPON! If you only use it because it has a coupon then you're not 'saving' money on things you would have bought whether you had a coupon or not. I know in almost every weeks paper there's a free glade warmer unit with the purchase of an oil refill, if you use those it gives you an extra warmer unit if the other one goes out.

I won a $25 visa cash card (it's under gas rewards) the other day from Huggies. It's one of the two pointer sweepstakes options.

How do you have your coupon "system" set up. Curently I've been saving coupons in a little bowl and then I forget to use them. I also try to hit the coupon sites before I go shopping but it's also hit or miss. Any tips on getting that organized? That's my biggest problem with using ocupons. I forget I have them.

Oh also, Babies R us has a rewards program. When you buy 9 boxes the 10th is free via a coupon then send you. I thought the prices were competitive too.

Our company offers discount memberships to BJs. I got some of those baby coupon books from BJs from the rep that came into work to get people to renew. I bought a ton of diapers of varying sizes.

I have one of those little coupon accordian file things (or an envelope if your purse is crowded), when I clip a coupon it goes in the file and the file in my purse. I only clip coupons for things I use, I make a running list in wordpad (when I clip a coupon the item and how much off gets added to the list), then the day before or day I go shopping I print off the coupon list. I usually try to keep the coupons in the same order as the list for easy finding. As I buy an item I have a coupon for, I pull the coupon out and put it close to whatever I'm paying with (i.e. if I'm paying with a card I put it on top of my wallet).

Costco. We save a ton of money monthly and we only have 4 in our household so far.

We go to costco as well. it may be overwhelming because you are buying in bulk but its so worth it,
we mainly purchase toilet paper, laundry detergent, paper towels, etc..
we purchase our produce at a farmers market here,
last week we got two pints of strawberries, a pint of blueberries and a pint of blackberries, for $5 total.
I do love shopping at costco though, when you can buy a 120-150 use of tide for 20 dollars or less if its on sale, and it lasts for 3+ months.

I never did Costco cause it was never worth it for 2 then 3. Maybe for 4 it will be? Seems like Walmart and the Commisary are just fine for me though especially since I dont buy diapers.
BTW I do buy wipes and i have a couple enjoy the rewards codes if you want them
