Diaper Deal at Amazon

I just came across a fabulous diaper deal at www.amazon.com. I read about part of the deal at www.mrsmoneysaver.com and then expounded upon that with my own smarts :o) Here's the deal as found on that site. My added discount idea is posted at the end in red. You have to get either Parents magazine or Parenting Early Years magazine (August 2010 issues) to really get a steal. (The card may also be found in other family/parenting magazines--these are just the ones I get and have found)

Amazon is offering 30% off select diapers, wipes, and baby care products right now, plus free 2-day shipping! I just got a case of 204 Luvs diapers (size 3) for about $25, coming out to $0.12/diaper.
To get your discount:1. Check out the products included the sale. Some quick diaper links:
Seventh Generation, size 2, 160 ct- $27.99
Huggies Snug & Dry, size 1-2, 192 ct- $23.79
Luvs, size 3, 204 ct- $25.12
Earth’s Best, size 1, 176-ct- $31.49
Pampers Baby Dry, size 4, 128 ct- $25.77
Pampers Baby Dry, size 3, 204 ct- $28.34
2. Click on the product you want. The price shown at this point will not include the 30% discount. (If you want to order more than one item, you’ll have to order each individually.)
3. Select a delivery option for Subscribe & Save on the right side of the page. (It doesn’t really matter what you pick, since you’ll want to cancel later.) Then click “Subscribe”. You’ll only receive the discount and free shipping if you’re ordering through Subscribe & Save.
4. Go through the checkout process to receive the 30% discount and free 2-day free. No coupon code is necessary.
5. Once you place your order, the order confirmation page will include a link to “Manage your subscriptions”. Click to manage, and find the order you just placed. Select “cancel” and work through the steps to cancel the subscription. Canceling will make sure Amazon doesn’t ship you another order at regular price next month!

So I read about this deal and then remembered that I saw a bright orange insert card in both my new Parents magazine and Family Fun magazine (August 2010) for 20% off diapers at amazon.com. So I did as the website said to get the 30% off and free 2-day shipping and THEN added the promo code from my orange card. (space to enter promo code is on the right hand side when completing your order). I did the deal two different times so as to use both my orange cards and sign up for the subscribe and save. (I think as long as you order different types/sizes of diapers you can sign up for the 'subscribe and save' option with each one, netting you the 30% off code each time) My grand total: first transaction--Luvs Sz 4, 180 ct. = $17.94 ($0.10/diaper) and second transaction--Pampers Baby Dry Sz 4, 176 ct.=$20.99 ($0.12/diaper) I am going to cancel the 'subscribe and save' option under My Account, Subscription Info after I get the confirmation email saying my order has shipped. That way my current shipment will be on its way, and I won't be responsible for paying/getting future automatic shipments.
