I'm not sure that makes any objective sense. You're still spending the same amount on diapers, aren't you? So what difference does it make when you buy them? You're not saving anything really. And now you've got the added hassles of 1) storing a ton of random diapers for a few months and 2) returning and exchanging a bunch of diapers you don't need and can't use.
But hey, you seem happy with the idea, so more power to you.
Yeah, but it was nice for the first few months, when we had a lot of added expenses (paying off the hospital, paying for shots, getting a grip on the cost of formula, etc) to not have to also throw in money for diapers. We already had a closet full of them.
You're still spending the same amount on diapers (obviously). The difference is WHEN you're having to pay for them. It worked out well.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
I'm not really sure you know what you are talking about.
For the most part, the groceries I buy at Wal-Mart are the exact same groceries I would get anywhere else. Just cheaper. Because Evil-Ass Wal-Mart can do that.
Yes she does . . . Walmart sells CRAP! At least 90% crap.
Did you even read my post? I buy THE SAME STUFF (brands) that I buy everywhere else. Same brand of laundry detergent. Same brand of tortilla chips. Same brand of light bulbs. Same brand of baby formulas.
It's the SAME SHIT.

Sorry . . . I do understand they sell the same stuff other stores have (sometimes at lower prices). All there stuff is not always the best value in town. I still think they sell a lot of really cheep CRAP. You get what you pay for cheep.
Over the span of a lifetime, I'm still buying the same number of diapers. I'm not so sure why this is so hard to comprehend.
because it's like overpaying your taxes during the year just to get a big refund... instead of keeping it in the bank and accruing interest, you are spending it before you have to... more convenient maybe, but not as great as earning your own interest over a 9 month period.

That's my whole point. You're paying for them BEFORE you need them, so it actually costs you more!
Over the span of a lifetime, I'm still buying the same number of diapers. I'm not so sure why this is so hard to comprehend.
The part that is hard to comprehend for you is that if something costs the same price but you buy it now instead of in a year's time when you need it, it has actually cost you more (it's called the time value of money). But whatever, I'm sorry I made a big deal out of it, it seemed to work well for you, so that's great.
kinda sucks for people who live in some areas where all there is to buy a cd is wal*mart.. we have an FYE here but I know a lot of people go to the local walmart b/c FYE is so pricey... I don't buy enough cds to care though and will shell out the few extra bucks to get the dirty version @ FYE if need be.
All i can think of is rape me by nirvana being changed to waif me. LOL.
I was one of the idiots who bought In Utero at Wal-mart. I don't think I realized that until I got home. Thankfully, the music was still the same. Also, Wal-mart doesn't sell all of the same stuff as its competitors. I can't get any of my cat food or litter (or bird food, for that matter) at Sprawl-Mart. I go to Target and feel good about it.

I'm seriously not understanding wtf you are talking about. I could spend $10 on a package of diapers 10 months ago, when I had an extra $10. Or I can spend $10 on a package of diapers today, when I don't really have an extra $10.
Either way, I spent $10.

OK, so instead of buying the diapers 10 months ago, you put the $10 in a special diapers bank account. 10 months go by, the money in the bank is now $11 (for argument's sake). You go and spend $10 on diapers, and you end up with an extra $1 in the bank, and you still have the diapers when you need them. If you did this 10 times, you'd have enough left over to buy an extra package of diapers.
Try it for your next baby. You'll love it! It's like your parents' suggestion (paying bits and pieces as you go, while you have the money) but with the added advantage of making the bank work for you!

Still doesnt negate the fact that Walmart is still just selling it. There are plenty of companies out there that don't cheapen their standards just so WM will sell it and WM isn't making them make crappy products.
They are. You don't see anything wrong with a company putting stipulations on a product in order to be sold in their store?
Of course there's nothing wrong with that. This is America. At least it was last time I checked. Wal-Mart doesn't have to sell anything it does not want to. And a company does not have to sell their product in Wal-Mart if they don't want to.
That's the way America works.

NEW YORK (Billboard) – As Internet reports suggested, Pearl Jam was indeed recording a Target commercial under the direction of Cameron Crowe last week at Seattle's Showbox theater. But there's more to the story than an exclusive retail relationship.
It has been known that Pearl Jam is no longer under contract, after 18 years of recording for Sony-affiliated labels, and there has been a good deal of speculation about who would release the rock act's next album. Kelly Curtis, who has managed Pearl Jam since day one, conducted a wide-ranging interview with Billboard on Sunday night, confirming that the band's next release -- rumored to be called "Backspacer" and currently scheduled for an early fall release -- would arrive without a U.S. label but backed by a consortium of partners, including Target as the "big box" retail partner.
"We'll have a lot of partners," said Curtis, who confirmed that deals were finished or in the works with an online retailer, a mobile partner, a gaming company and a network or possibly networks of indie retail stores.
"Target ended up allowing us to have other partners. We'll be able to take care of all levels of the Pearl Jam fan ... We wish we could tell the whole story right now, but all the deals aren't done. Target was cool enough to realize that little independent record stores are not their competition." Curtis was quick to note that the album would be for sale via Pearl Jam's fan club, Ten Club.
News of the Target commercial taping broke last week on antiquiet.com, which is also hosting a bootleg recording from the Target taping of a song that Curtis confirmed was called "The Fixer" and is in the running as the album's first single.
Curtis said the Target commercial was only one reason for the Showbox session; with singer Eddie Vedder on tour supporting his solo work for the next month, "we had a narrow window to get some footage," Curtis said. "We shot three or four songs that night." Curtis said that some of the footage may be used for a project that filmmaker Crowe is working on in connection with the band's upcoming 20th anniversary.
