Diaper Update

Sorry for the delay. I realize y'all have been frantically checking my blog for the latest Huggies drama. I sincerely apologize.

I emailed the company complaining about the hike in diaper price and the reduced quantity. They sent me a stack of $1 off coupons. Yippee!! They also sent me an email that attempted to school me on price-setting of merchandise and alerted me to how increased oil costs have impacted diaper production. You see, manufacturers do not "dictate price;" stores set their own price (oh, and diapers are made from petroleum). Really? How stupid do you think I am, Kimberly-Clark? I realize they don't mandate prices, but if they institute an increase in their wholesale price, you bet your pretty pennies the store is going to offset its increased cost by passing it on to the consumer. Come on. We know how the game's played. It doesn't have to be a written rule. But, I do have a handy stack of shiny coupons to use! (seriously, they're holograms)
