I Hit Full Nesting Mode and Stocked Up on Baby Essentials at CVS

It’s officially nesting season for me, and since this is baby No. 2, I’m not guessing on what I should buy. This time around, I’m grabbing the essentials I know I’ll need.

Instead of overbuying random stuff, I kept it simple. I made one quick run to CVS, checked the CVS weekly ad, and planned my trip around ExtraCare Rewards so I could stock up without overspending. I also made sure to look through current baby deals before heading out, because if I’m buying diapers anyway, I want the best price.

Here’s what I picked up for my “get ahead now so I’m not scrambling later” nesting phase — plus the CVS deals that made it worth it.

My Baby Nesting Stock-Up Haul at CVS

I didn’t overthink this. I just asked myself, “What will I run out of the fastest, and what’s on sale right now?”

No explanation needed on these: The answer is diapers.

Instead of just grabbing one box of diapers, I stocked up on multiple sizes. Because every parent says the same thing .... they grow faster than you expect, and running out of diapers is not an option.

What I Picked Up

Diaper Essentials

Mom Must-Haves

Little Extras That Help

The Diaper Savings That Make This Stock-Up Worth It

Diapers are one of those things you’re always buying as a new mom, so I’m definitely not paying full price if I don’t have to.

Right now at CVS Pharmacy, there’s an easy stacking deal to take advantage of:

  • Spend $45 on Huggies, Pull-Ups, or Goodnites.

  • Get $15 ExtraBucks back.

  • Plus, there’s a $3 off 2 digital coupon to clip in the CVS app.

That’s why stocking up now actually makes sense. You’re lowering your cost per box and getting $15 back to use on your next run — and let’s be honest, you’re definitely going back.

You can mix and match products and sizes to hit the $45 threshold, which is exactly what I did.
