A note on wipes:
The regular wipes cost at Walmart is $13.47 for a 800 ct box of Parent's Choice and $1.25 for an 80 ct pack at HEB. These are the best prices I have seen without couponing and even with for the name brands. If I come across a better coupon price, I will share it. Otherwise I recommend just buying these.
Spending Goals:
NB-Size 2 = $.12/diaper
Size 3-5 = $.17/diaper
Abbreviations:
q = coupon
mq = manufacturer coupon
tq = target coupon
ip = internet price
pm = price match
exp = expires
gc = gift card
oop = out of pocket
ECB = ExtraCare Bucks
SS = Smart Source insert
RP = Red Plum insert
PG = Proctor & Gamble insert
I will update this post throughout the sales week as new sales are discovered by me :)

CVS
All CVS deals require an ExtraCare card. This card not only entitles you to sale prices but also earns you coupons from the red box found inside the store and online when you sign into your account at cvs.com.
If your CVS runs out of stock of one any sale diapers by Saturday, ask for a Rain Check. Be sure to have them write the event code at the bottom for any ExtraBucks you will earn and save the sales flyer if you have issues when you go to redeem your Rain Check in the future. CVS Rain Checks never expire.

Southern Savers has a great guide for how many diapers of each size to buy when stocking up. For quick reference, she says:
"Size 1 is good up to 14 lbs, size 2 12-18 lbs, size 3 up to 16-28 lbs. I would not plan on preparing ahead on any sizes larger than size 3 for right now. You can buy those as deals come along after the baby is born. However, if you are having diaper showers then go for it! This being our fourth girl, we really don’t have any baby showers. So this is all on us to prepare for.

Generally you aren’t going to stay in the newborn size long, nor do you want to when you see that they actually cost more than a size 1. So here’s my plan:
Math assumptions:
Changing on average 10 diapers per day/night
½ lb growth per week
starting weight of 6 lbs
½ lb growth per week
starting weight of 6 lbs
First 4 Months
Newborn Size: 2-3 packs (not really needed most can go straight to size 1)
Size 1: 840 diapers needed to get to 12 lbs = 16-20 jumbo packs
Size 2: 560 diapers needed to get to 16 lbs = 13-15 jumbo packs
Newborn Size: 2-3 packs (not really needed most can go straight to size 1)
Size 1: 840 diapers needed to get to 12 lbs = 16-20 jumbo packs
Size 2: 560 diapers needed to get to 16 lbs = 13-15 jumbo packs
5 months to 12 months
Growth slows to 1 lb every 3 weeks on average
Diaper Changes on average 6 per day
Size 3: 1512 diapers needed to get to 28 lbs = 56-62 jumbo packs
Total Diapers needed in the first year: 2,912"
