Pampers giant pack diapers (ad shows Size 4 104ct. Swaddlers and 112ct. Cruisers) are $34.99. Buy three and get a $25 Target gift card. Here are your matchups:

- $5 off 2 boxes - 8/9 RP (exp. 8/23!)

DEAL IDEA: Buy two boxes of your choice and one Cruisers. Use the $5-off-2 and one $2 printable. Pay $97.97 and get a $25 gift card. That's $72.97 for three, or about $24.32 per box. For the Swaddlers shown in ad, this works out to about .23 per diaper. I don't think this is a good deal at all UNLESS the Baby-Dry diapers have a lot more diapers per box -- unfortunately they're not in the ad.
