I cleared the shelves of reduced baby wipes for my twins… they filled my wardrobe & a clever hack stops them drying out

WHEN you have babies or kids, you need a lot of supplies for your home.

One bargain hunter has shared how they have stocked up wardrobe with over 90 packs of Huggies baby wipes after they were slashed in price at Asda.

If you are quick, you can take advantage of the deal, which has seen the retailer discount their 12 packs – each containing 56 wipes – to £5.75 down from £11.50.

The shopper uploaded a photo of their bumper haul, and showed how they filled an entire bookcase with their packets of wipes.

On the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, they wrote: “Half price wipes on amazon and in asda…..yes please

“Should last the twins about 6 days.

“Shelves are 3 layers deep.”

As parents will know, having a supply of wipes is crucial, particularly when it comes to wiping messy hands and faces and doing nappy changes.

Their post has racked up hundreds of comments and likes and has clearly struck a chord with bargain lovers.

One person wrote: “Needs must with kids.

“Wipes are essential for everything let alone small ppls.Lol great bargain.”

Another person defended them clearing shelves, and said: “So long as you have space and they will get used who cares you have taken advantage of a special offer.”

And a third said they had rushed to snap up the deal after seeing the post.

They shared: “Thanks for this I went and got a box.”

Meanwhile, one person replied to the post sharing a very clever hack for keeping baby wipes moist.

They shared: “Keep the wipes upside down, it keeps the top ones moisturised rather than the bottom ones being wet through! 

“Good hack to know.”

Baby freebies

Being pregnant can be tiring, but it can come with some perks when it comes to freebies.

Megan Micklewright, who runs The Savvy Spender, shared things pregnant women can get for free to help them out financially.

The first thing on her list is free NHS dental care during pregnancy and a year after the baby is born.

The NHS website said: “You are entitled to free NHS dental treatment if, at the time you are accepted for your course of treatment, you are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months.

“To prove your entitlement, you can use a MatB1 certificate, valid maternity exemption certificate, notification of birth form, birth certificate or stillbirth certificate.”

Megan next raved about getting an Emma’s Diary gift pack for free when she was pregnant.

The TikToker commented: “Full of little freebies that can be picked up in places like Boots once you’ve registered for free online.”

The Emma’s Diary website states: “The FREE Emma’s Diary mother and baby gift packs are packed full of free stuff from BIG brands and samples, hand picked for you to try during your pregnancy. 

“Some are also very handy for packing in your hospital bag too!”

According to the savvy saver, you can get a free item from Amazon if you create a baby wish list on there.

Megan claims you have to spend £20 to qualify for the free item, but it can include a free nappy bin, baby bottles, a bath set or a bath toy.”

Amazon states: “If you create a baby wishlist and spend at least £20 in eligible baby products, you’ll receive a free welcome gift.

“Create an Amazon baby wishlist, and wait 5 days before redeeming your free gift (if you don’t have one already). 

“Start adding qualifying items – baby products that are shipped and sold by Amazon.”

Megan advised that some parenting clubs, such as the one run by Boots, can give out a free item when you sign up.

She wrote: “Get an Aveeno product when you sign up.”The Boots Parenting Club gives you perks such as “8 points per £1 on baby products^. free gifts at key stages of your baby’s development, expert parenting advice, Parenting Club offers via the Boots app.”
