Mark your calendars, Earth Day lands on Saturday, April 22 this year, and the sales are going to be fantastic!
Is Earth Day a Big Deal for Cloth Diaper Shopping?
Yup. Don’t get me wrong, Black Friday is the best sale day for cloth diapers. That said, retailers know that not every pregnancy includes November, so they offer some pretty darn good sales on Earth Day to balance that out, and of course to celebrate one of the huge environmental benefit that cloth diapers provide.
If you want/need to get your diapers before November, and you have the budget, Earth Day is THE day to build your cloth diaper stash!
What Can I Expect?
The sales are always a bit different every year, but the trend in all the years passed since has been for most retailers to offer anywhere from 10-40% off most items, and then they often throw in some “freebies” when you spend over a certain amount. So, for example, they might give you a reusable straw, or a wet bag if you spend $X and a free diaper if you spend $XX (this is just an example to show you how it normally works, the freebies can be awesome some years, and just good others… we’ll all just have to wait and see what they are).
Most of the time, the discount on the diaper brands you really really want (think Thirsties and Charlie Banana) is about 10-20%, but the discounts on diaper packages, accessories, and sale items, are often awesome!
This is a great time to search for those cloth diaper accessories you probably forgot to add to your registry too, like swim diapers, cloth diaper fasteners, etc.
