This Wiki should serve as a guide to help people know what a good deal is.
Lowest Obtainable Price in the Deal Should Meet Price Guide Standards.

Not all DDMS Deals set the bar for what the price is for that item, as some of them might be so low that a higher price later is still worth mentioning.

They were LEOA and brand name. Good enough for me.

Also note not all products are identical while Dial Soap might be acceptable at less than .33 a bar,
Dove Soap may fetch double the price and be considered a great deal at .57 a bar. Feel free to update the wiki to add more brands in as well.

Also note that each unit may have different qty like toilet paper more squares or toothpaste more oz.

I hope this will help serve as a guide.

Feel free to update the Wiki.
Make sure to add a URL to a matching page on DDMS.

And try to keep it in Alphabetical Order

Some of these items have a very wide range of brand quality as well as size differences. There are larger and smaller deodorants and juice boxes and there are many different grades of coffee.
true... that's why there's a link...
and a disclaimer

it's good for a guide.

expand it as you see fit by brand etc.

size we try to cover by pricing by a smaller measurement.

This is fantastic.....but can we get a "Good Deals on Household Items Thread" ?

If we're out of lets say soap, tissues, bounty etc....instead of paying double at the store or regular price somewhere online,  we'll have a thread of the current good deals on these items?

Just my 2 cents....sorry if this was brought up in the past
I wonder how many miles I've scrolled with my finger

And have an excellent return policy.

Here's an example of something that happened to us: we buy frozen corn almost exclusively in Costco, primarily due to the quality, but also for the price. A couple of months ago the manufacturer had a major recall. Costco just went ahead and refunded each and every purchase of items on the recall list within a certain date range, regardless of the code on the package, and no need to return to the store.
Apparently I bought almost $200 worth of corn, peas and green beans. And, yes it was great that I didn't have to shlep any of it back to the store!

Additionally if you have food returns you can just come in with your receipt

and tell them what was bad they'll refund you without the food item

like watermelon etc. (Perishables)

We need an algorithm to decide how much each HT is worth at any given time.

Not sure about your classification of entry level vs step up diapers. For most of my kids Huggies worked best (I am also very sensitive to odors, so couldn't take any diapers with any scent), though for some of them I actually preferred Kirkland. Regular huggies actually worked better for us than huggies supreme.

For the kids that needed training underwear for the night (a different story that we just recently managed to solve) different brands worked better for different kids. PullUps, Good Nites, and Underjams.

Bottom line, IME which diaper works best for a child is very individualized.

It's very simple, just list them on eBay and see what the market values them at.

Rather how hard it was to earn that HT the more value.
