Question for you DU members -- ways to get free diapers?

[moriah]

I'm about to be taking on the ultimate test for determining if I'm cut out to be a parent -- my sister-in-soul, due in September with her third, and her husband need a roommate to make it. Her husband is on disability after having his left arm and leg nearly crushed in an on-the-job MVA, and we won't have access to a washer to do cloth (or really the time even if it's better).

For those who do have washing machines, there are programs that provide free cloth diapers, but the nearest "diaper bank" is three hours away.

For those who don't have advice on free but might on cheap, what's been the best value you've found? Me helping some means we can probably afford Luvs, and Parent's Choice doesn't seem that much cheaper....

1. I cut coupons like crazy when my babies were in diapers

You might even ask around your neighborhood if anyone still gets Sunday newspapers, there are often--or used to be--coupons worth
a lot in the Sunday papers.

2. Yeah, there's going to be a lot of penny pinching.

But it's really, I think, going to work out best for everyone to do this move. If nothing else, at least until we see how birth and postpartum go. My sis is a fighter.

4. Thanks. We think we're going to be able to make it together, but every bit helps.

Mainly we're focusing on making sure little Nathan does well where he is right now. She had terrible hyperemesis with her second child, but as soon as we learned she was pregnant this time aggressive B vitamin supplements have worked wonders, along with making sure her doctors understood that if she was so dehydrated her urine had ketones, we couldn't play thus time around.

With only a few visits to the ER for fluids vs several weeks hospitalizations last time around, I'm really hoping this little one got the care they both needed in time.
