Having 2 kids in diapers is pretty expensive - especially since I'm a brand snob when it comes to my babies rear-ends. No other brand seems to be such a perfect fit as Huggies. So here at La Casa de Farnsworth, we buy Huggies size 3, size 4, and even our diaper wipes. They have a rewards program which is enticing and annoying all at the same time. Save up 382 points and you get this lovely dangly cow...

Awesome. I only spent like $1000 to get a dumb cow.
I was actually quite taken in by this rewards program. I've been saving the little stickers off of every package of diapers and wipes and tonight I spent over an hour entering all the codes. I was up to 800 something! I couldn't believe it. I started browsing the catalog and had decided on a $15 gift card to starbucks, a year subscription to the magazine Family Fun, and with a little more points saved up I could even get this Thomas set for Aaron for Christmas.
So I went for the gift card first. Everything was smooth. I clicked on the redeem button and then was asked to click a confirm button. On to the magazine. I clicked on the redeem button, chickened out because I wanted to get the Thomas set now and magazine later so I simply did not confirm it.
Then I got to thinking, what about shipping? I got a brilliant idea to click on the redeem button for the dumb cow (which was first in the catalog) just to see if it said anything about shipping. Nope. Not a word about shipping. Instead it said, "thank you for redeeming your dumb cow, fool." Followed by a charming "he he he he..." What a sucker I am! So now I have like 140 points left which is a long ways from the 635 to get the Thomas set. Hmph.
Anyone have any Huggies stickers they want to give me? Anyone? Mom? They are also on swim diapers, pull-ups and supposedly other Huggies brand items. : ) I know, it's a sick obsession...
