It’s that most blessed of events, the monthly paycheck!  For the past several days I’ve been debating which diapers to purchase this month.  I may be able to swing getting both of my top choices, but for starters, I had to choose.

Goodmama fitted diapers has been doing some amazing stuff lately.  Suzanne, who runs the show, has long wanted to have an “in stock” store instead of always having her customers have to “stalk” her stockings.  And it looks like that time is here!  Right now, there are 11 (count ‘em, ELEVEN) print fitted diapers in stock and 23 “Switched” OBV diapers in stock.  WOW.  I had my eye on the pretty fitted diaper above.

On the other side, I was also interested in some Rumparooz diapers, one of my favorite one size pocket diapers (next to the bumgenius, of course), especially if they have snaps instead of aplix.  They’re having a “seconds” sale, which means these diapers have something that’s “off”, making them not exactly storefront-worthy.  However, they’re still operational and offered at a very decent discount.  I was eyeballing some of their “minkee” snap diapers which run for about $25-$27 and the seconds sale had them offered at $16!  Add in a microfiber insert and they’re $17.50 each!  At those prices, I could get two for the same price as one of the goodmama diapers above.

Decisions, decisions…

I ended up going with the Rumparooz because a) I kinda feel like we need more pocket diapers more than we need another fitted and b) two diapers versus one.  Value wins out.  But I still feel like I’m going to have to get a print fitted from goodmama eventually.  Because, really, who can resist?

How was everyone’s weekends? I’m well aware that the weekend is not quite over yet (and thank goodness for that!) but we’re seen the high points, yes? Yesterday was a frustrating day for me (lack of sleep, perhaps? Evie had a rough night), but Saturday was just plain awesome. And we didn’t really go anywhere or do anything all that interesting.

Still, I knew it was going to be awesome when I woke up to a private message on Diaper Swappers from an awesome mama who says that another awesome mama had referred her to me. She was looking to sell one of her goodmama diapers and wanted to know before she listed it on FSOT (for sale or trade), did I want it?

*insert image of my jaw hitting the floor*

She was offering me a significant discount off the new price (since it was used, but still people can get nearly new prices for their goodmamas these days). I knew our diaper budget had been tapped for the month, yet how could I resist? I worked on Kile all day long, giving him countless reasons why getting this diaper would be an awesome thing and finally he relented. So yes, I have a goodmama diaper coming my way.

I’m pretty excited to try it out. I really would like to see what the fuss is about. I am afraid I’m going to love it so much that I want more. Heh. A distinct (and expensive) possibility. Still, I doubt I’d want to pay over retail because I am a pretty raging cheapskate. I will definitely be filling you all in with pictures and impressions and all about my experience with this current hot diaper.

In other diaper news from Saturday, I also was notified of a review possibility for a well-known cloth diaper company and I’m pretty excited about that. I haven’t tried out this particular diaper so I’ll be interested in putting it through it’s paces and finding out if it really is as wonderful as a lot of people think it is. Plus, you know, FREE DIAPERS. That doesn’t ever get old around here, let me tell you.

Not related to diapers, but in keeping with the “Good Deal” theme of the day, we did venture out once to go to the grocery store to pick up some essentials. I wanted to pick up some soda as I was nearly out. As we entered the store, I saw a display advertising they had Coca-Cola product 12 packs on sale, 5 for $12 (you had to buy 5). I’m not sure of the exact math on this, but it’s basically a fabulously awesome deal. And I love good deals to the depth of my soul. So I felt very happy about that. And who wouldn’t? I have enough soda to keep me busy for weeks here, people!

Did anyone else find some great deals this weekend?
