Lightly Fragranced Cucumber & Aloe Baby Wipes

Is this one worth buying?

Lightly Fragranced Cucumber & Aloe Baby Wipes is currently listed at $2.75 at Coles, against a usual price of $5.50. The dollar saving is small, so treat it as something to add to a shop you were doing anyway rather than a deal to chase.

Nappies do not expire, but babies grow out of sizes faster than expected — buying six months ahead in one size is a common and expensive mistake. Wipes keep indefinitely. Infant formula is regulated differently from other groceries in Australia and is discounted far less often, and purchase limits sometimes apply, so treat any real reduction there as unusual.

Half price specials at both Coles and Woolworths normally run for one week, from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, and the same lines tend to come back on promotion every couple of months. If you miss this one it will very likely return — but the price shown here is the current one, and prices can change without notice.
