A Little Known Hack for Saving BIG on Cloth Diapers

Seriously, is there anyone that doesn’t enjoy saving money?! You don’t have to wait until Black Friday, Earth Day or a shop’s anniversary to score big savings on cloth diapers and baby carriers. Want to know what the the secret is?

Shop Canadian! The catch is you have to be shopping from the United States or another country that has a stronger dollar.

Save

Here’s how it works: Right now (6/10/16) the the Canadian Dollar is only worth the equivalent of 78 cents in US Dollars.  That means you are getting (about) 22% off anything priced in Canadian Dollars. This number fluctuates daily, so it could give you even more of a savings (or less) depending on how well the market is doing that day.

You may have heard that shipping between Canada and the US is higher. It is. But nothing crazy. And many of the Canadian shops have a set shipping amount that is fairly low. So if you are stocking up, you can get a really great deal even with paying shipping. Shipping can take a bit longer than from a US shop. But honestly, most of my Canadian purchases have arrived in about a week. I can wait a little longer for such great prices. One other thing to note is not all brand can be shipped across the border. GroVia is one for instance. Check with the shop first if you are unsure.

PLUS, if you shop Canadian and buy when they have sales… your savings REALLY add up!

For Example:

Borrowed Planet has pocket diapers that are $14.25 CA. They are also ON SALE right now. So the sale of 15% off brings you to $12.70 CA. Now factor in the US/CA exchange rate and you get a grand total of about $9.90 for one awesome pocket diaper! I’ll include other sales that I know about below under each shop. :)

Here’s a few of my favorite Canadian shops! Happy Shopping!

Borrowed Planet

Pockets, covers, All in Two’s and other accessories available. AI2 diapers have two full layers of PUL and inserts are made of high quality fabrics such as hemp/cotton and bamboo.   All diapers have double leg gussets so they stand up to major messes and the pocket diapers are lined with athletic wicking jersey!

Use code ‘pockets’ at check out to get 15%. Free shipping $120 CAD or more.

Big selection of cloth diapers, baby wearing items and assorted accessories! I have personally saved big on baby carriers shopping here in the past using the exchange rate savings method.

How many of you in the US knew about the savings due to the exchange rate? Have you done any Canadian shopping because of it?

    I love buying applecheeks from small businesses in Canada! Our local store doesn’t carry the brand either, so it is definitely my best option!

    Dolcito cloth diapers are my new faves, better quality than other AIO we’ve used. Replacing our stash slowly! They’re made in Canada too.

    Don’t forget about the possibility of customs fees! If you’d like a local store and are lucky enough to have one, shop there instead – or soon you may not have that option!
