Im about to have a baby and am clearly in need of as many fem. pads as possible. Are there any great ways to stretch the money when it comes to purchasing? Ive had coupons in the past but never had a sale at the same time, so no great prices.

Ive also thought about emailing or callin some companies & seeing about samples/coupons. However i can only come up with:
- kotex
- tampax
- always

& drawing blank from there.....

Also do u know of any current deals? Or coupons i could get my hands on? Ive got btfe or coke codes to trade.

I know Stayfree sends out good coupons at times. I just realized tonight that I need more Overnight pads. I guess that I purchased more regular than overnights. The only thing is I have emailed stayfree and never heard back from them. If you get ahold of the Stayfree Q's from inserts, check Kroger if you have one. They normally have good sales.

Congratulations on your baby!!! I held one tonight and put him to sleep, so sweet! My kids are almost grown (11 and 15).

If you do Facebook, like Always and Tampax. I don't know if they are currently doing it, but in the past they had girlie goodies once a month. I got some great high value non inserts that way.

You could try trading under that section of this website and get some high value Qs.

Poise makes pads too. There were some peelies on small packages for these that were for free product but these expire 12/31/12.

Or you could compare prices and possibly buy store brand.

You could also wear a depends like disposable garment and put your regular pads in them.

And the hospital should send you home with a few too!

Do you know anyone else who coupons near you? Maybe they have some pads in their stockpile they don't need and you could trade with them with extras in your stockpile.

Just some ideas!

There will be a sale for stay free coming up. A bogo stay free coupon paired with a bogo sale at cvs = 2 for free. Coupons are one per person. Bring friends/ make multiple trips .

You just gave me another thought. TENA is a different brand other than Poise. If you email TENA, they will send you a coupon in the mail. PLUS, they have samples to order from the website (as does Poise). I use TENA liners all the time. They are made well and with the Q's, they are usually FREE or near free. The pads even though they are for urinary incontinence, they work really great for heavy periods. If you request samples, don't ask for heavy as they are normally as thick/wide or thicker than diapers. I guess that isn't a bad thing after giving birth, though. The samples come with $2/1 Q's.

I also noticed that you have tampax on your list above. You are not going to feel comfortable wearing tampons at all after birth. Still not a bad idea to request samples/coupons for future use.

I agree with redraider! Starting 1/6 at CVS all Stayfree pads will be BOGO. There's a BOGO coupon that you can use on the BOGO sale, only leaving sales tax, if you have to pay that in your state. The coupon will be in that Sunday's paper.

Aliciae is talking about Tampax Tuesday. I just got a wristlet this week that included one pad, 3 liners, and 3 tampons. You can request them on the Tampax facebook page once a month on Tuesdays. You'll usually see the Tampax Tuesday "sign" underneath the like button when samples are live. It's usually in the evening or late afternoon when the samples are live. I don't always see it announced on the FB page when the samples are first available.

If you have friends/parents/relatives that don't want them, you could have them request it for you to their address once a month, and then give them to you. That way, you can have a little stockpile of them.

Tampax pearl is giving away samples of Tampax Pearl and a Tampax Pearl Compak. But, you can't get the sample if you've already requested the P&G samples for this quarter.

I don't know how often Always does it, but they give out high value coupons on their FB page, like $2/1 Infinity and $1.50/1 Liners. You'll get them by mail.

Poise is also giving away a 3 pack of samples on their website. Even though it's for bladder leakage, I never knew if there was a difference between Poise and Always (depending on absorbency I guess.) IDK...there very well could be, but here is the link to the sample form.

First, congratulations and get as much sleep as you can right now. lol
The hospital always gives me plenty of supersized pads to get through the first week so hopefully yours will do the same.

Thank you mrsmiki77, aliciae, redraider25 & SouthernCharm.

I will add those to my list and do as much as i can on my phone. Not sure when i will be back in front of a computer.

Unfortinatly i dont have a cvs, so that sale is out of the question for me. I do have DG, WM & Walgreens. Sometime i will have to remember to compare prices, i wondwer if theres an app for that? Haha.

I already try to trade on WUC. Most of the time i dont have pp or extra/any stamps. But i kno my gma gets the paper so im goin to call & ask if she would send her extra coupons to me.
