We have a 9 month old little boy who goes through a ton of diapers, formula, and baby food. Last week while feeding her Craig's List addiction, my wife found several offers for diapers and baby food for pennies (actually $5).
Apparently a very large chain store carries organic diapers and baby food, but is not able to sell any because of the exorbitant prices compared to Gerber or Pampers, so they dump it months before the expiration dates. That's what the lady told her anyway.
For $5, we bought enough baby food, formula, teething crackers, snacks and diapers to last until the kid is 15 (hopefully he is not still in diapers by then). The diapers are the expensive organic bio-degradable type, and they seem to perform "under-load" just as well as the eternal Pamper.
We need a storage unit just to store all the stuff. It cut at least $300 a month off of our grocery expenses.
Thanks. I have twin nieces on the way.

For real? No phone number to call in Nigeria or the Caribbean? I think a buyer at a major national chain lost their job over this boner.
Yeah, and the kicker is that the woman drove all the way from Owasso to deliver the stuff and make $5.
I'm quickly trying to think of uses for organic diapers and formula, but not coming up with anything- floor covering? Cheap paint?

Well, sometimes when you're on a really long road trip. . .

You can probably find a storage unit for about $350/month.
I have a 10 x 35 storage unit at 10th and Memorial U-Haul for $179 a month.

Surely, the parents know to keep the kids far away from you for their entire life?

Some women on craigslist are also buying formula and diapers using their WIC and/or other assistance and then selling it.

We will very soon be in the market, if you're trying to move some of the merch off of your metaphorical back dock.
