New Years Resolution: To Save More Money!

When I created my New Year’s resolution this year, I rearranged my rearranged last years to suit my current priorities. Saving money was the first resolution on our list this year, followed closely by spending more time with our family and friends. As the mother of two children in diapers and one of those feeding on formula, saving money isn’t always an easy task to tackle. I shop around, clip coupons and keep a tight budget. And with the rising costs of groceries, gas and health care- who wouldn’t love to save a little bit of money?

My husband and I love to do our shopping for diapers, wipes and formula online- it helps us avoid from making unnecessary shopping trips (saving money on gas) and the crowds at our local Wal-Mart store. We use diapers.com when shopping online because of their committment to family and competitive pricing. Diapers.com provides 1-2 day delivery with free shipping on most orders, leaving our pockets a little bit fuller. Having door to door delivery keeps my children in the house during below zero temperatures and gives us more quality family time at home.

Diapers.com has developed a few tips to help parents keep their money saving resolutions throughout the year (or longer):

1. Spend more time with your kids. Parents can save a ton of time by shopping online from home. Outlets such as Diapers.com saves parents from unnecessary trips with traffic jams and crowded stores.

2. Save money by finding and indulging in great deals. Diapers.com offers great deals on baby essentials such as diapers, which parents need to purchase throughout the year. The Web site offers bulk quantities which last longer and even hosts a clearance section with unbelievable finds.

3. Read to kids every night. It’s important to introduce children to forms of entertainment besides television. Reading is extremely calming and can help you bond with your little one by encouraging conversation. Popular children’s stories available at Diapers.com include The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Green Eggs and Ham.

4. Take little steps to become more environmentally responsible. Simple changes such as educating and encouraging your children to recycle can make all the difference. The “Green Baby” center at Diapers.com provides environmentally responsible parents with a variety of natural and organic options, such as the Kee-Ka organic clothing line and Clean Well biodegradable hand sanitizing wipes.

5. Get organized. Start with baby steps such as organizing the toy chest! Avoid the traditional “shopping list” with Diapers.com customized home pages featuring easy reorder for returning customers and emails with links to abandoned cart items.
