In my nesting efforts, I'm determined to order the Huggies newborn playmat. We still need to get a playmat, and are gonna need nappies anyway, so it's a win-win, right?? But with enough newborn-size naps already, I'm trying to buy 3 packs of Huggies Girl's Infant size naps... 4 shops later and no-one has them!!! Anyone know where the Infant-size girl's nappies have gone? I've got an extra barcode that counts for the promotion if anyone wants it - I'll post it out to ya. I just need 3 more nappies ones. Anyone got some spare, that you're not gonna use for anything? ------------- Andie |

Sorry I haven't got any nappy ones, I used mine to get the playmat. I do have a heap of the washcloth, change mats and wipes ones tho (thanks Huggies for the freebies!)if anyone else needs them.
Have you tried a shop that doesn't belong to Progressive? Their shelves are looking more than a little sad atm...  -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

New World and Pak n Save are owned by Foodstuffs so aren't affected, although our local NW was struggling a bit to keep up with demand last week.
Our local Countdown (Progressive) however were down to 6 jars of baby food in the entire store. I felt sorry for the lady standing there with her baby trying to decide which one to buy, such a huge choice and all! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hmmm - our New World and Pakers were both out, but maybe that's because people who need them have had to clean out their stocks since no-one else has them! ------------- Andie |

Probably! I wish I could help...
I am not allowed to shop at Countdown atm coz my union obsessed truck driver neanderthal male is backing the union... but I sometimes sneak there during the day coz I can't be bothered driving to NW! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Im happy to pay postage etc... and if I can find any huggies down here I'll let you guys know cos im just about out anyway and need some.
Mu hubby works for Foodstuffs so Im only allowed to shop at NW, PnS etc... they will be loving this strike hehe |

Andie if you have shop 'n'go at palmy pak'n'save they are really cheap so that maybe why they have run out. But I do know if you say something to them in the shop they will have it freashly stocked for the next day. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hmmmm.... sounds worth asking at Pakers - thanks Becks! Only now it won't be this pay period where I go shopping (alas!!). Hey My2Angels, PM me your address and I'll post my extra barcode out to you. I was given the change mats and already had the wipes. If anyone's got spares of the nappies barcodes, I'd love to give you my address!! ------------- Andie |

I think I saw some at Pak n Save yesterday Andie...
OT, but do you get stuff cheaper if you use shop n go? I dont always use it cos it can be a pain with hannah trying to grab the scanner thing or my shopping list or the groceries! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Yeah they have specials that change every week with shop'n'go. This week (finishing today Sunday) had beer, formula, nappies and something else on special that you get at the computer thing when you first go in. I also find that if Countdown has something on special then Pak'n'Save will have it at least 1c cheaper. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I had that problem, Paws, and in the end I found a tub in The Warehouse! By that stage I didn't care how much it cost as I couldn't get refils for my other tub anymore, but it was only about $1.50 more than the supermarket. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Can you only put Huggies wipe into a Huggies container? That means I have to go on a look out for one soon then. I've got Huggies wipes for this baby (as I find them so much easier to clean up newborn mess) but I was going to put them into the container I already have which is a pop up container. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yer i have heard that only the huggies wipes designed for the huggies pop up containers work! I can always find the bulk packs of wipes but hardly ever see the actual containers. I was lucky got like one of the last ones from woolies

I went into Countdown today and the Huggies containers were on sale!!! Even better I have a voucher for $1 off the container (from the parent and child show) so it made it even cheaper!!! ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Meh... I tried ringing them to find the Infant-sized girl's naps (OK, not that I need them just yet, but dag nab it I want that play-mat!!!), and just got a drawn-out conversation with a woman in Australia, saying: "have you tried (insert name of shop here) ?", with me saying "yes, and no, they don't have them". (OK maybe I didn't admit to her that I haven't looked in over a week, and there just might be some out there). She ran through ALL the retailers who'd sell nappies, even Safeway which is in Aussie not here, and when she started on chemists, FINALLY I realised that they weren't about to send any out to people who ring in! Ah well, was worth a try! ------------- Andie |

They sent me free Dry NItes when I rang and complained about them giving Maya a rash. I knew it wasn't Huggies fault that my daughter has dodgy skin, but I needed to rant at someone and teh lady was lovely... ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
