Weekend Stock Up Plan

When I get paid this week I have plans to head on over to Babies R Us and stock up on some necessities for Nathan. Here's the NEED list:
Formula (ideally I'd like to get 2 cans)
Drop Ins for his bottles
Pacifiers
Diaper Genie Refills
Larger sleep sack


Those are the NEEDS. I also need to set aside some money for a Convertible car seat since Nathan is rapidly growing out of his infant car seat. And the sucky thing? We'll need TWO car seats. One for each car.

The Would Like To Get List:
Diapers (we ALWAYS need more diapers)
Wipes (yet again, always need wipes)
Baby wash/Lotion


So I'm perusing the internet and stocking up on coupons and looking through the Babies R Us website and trying to find what is on sale, what is buy 2 get 1 free, and more. I'm trying to shop SMARTER this weekend as opposed to the panicked "Holy Crap Nathan is almost out of _______ (insert any of the list items here)" and I run out and grab what I need without coupons or price checking or ANYTHING.

I would also like to check prices and coupons to get myself some of the following:
New Rubbermaid Bin for Nathan's clothes
Body Wash
Conditioner
Paper Towels


I know, my life is so exciting. I just don't know what I do with myself these days! But is there anything else we should be stocking up on? Maybe Diet Coke? Other grocery items that we KNOW we always want.... trying to get a handle on all this smart shopping and damn it is NOT easy.

I found that a membership to Costco works really well. I bought all the diapers, wipes, formula, even clothes there. I still buy clothes there. I always buy the generic costco brand which is Kirkland and I love it!. The membership is $50, but you will get that back and save. Check it out. Maybe you could go and ask for a trial 1 day deal.
