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.”
