Winn-Dixie has sponsored this review and my appearance at the Making Happy Happen event in Tampa. As always, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own!
When I was given the opportunity to trying out Winn-Dixie’s improved line of Kuddles baby items, I jumped at it. Being a new mom, I’m finding that there are so many brands out there that I have yet to try out. My husband and I adopted our son 9 months ago. He is now 19 months old and an adorable handful! Before becoming a mom, I knew that Winn-Dixie had a line of baby products, but I really didn’t pay attention to it. I also “knew” that we would go through a lot of diapers and wipes… BUT, I didn’t realize just how many we would go through and how quickly we would go through them!
Winn-Dixie is Making Happy happen with Kuddles , their improved line of quality, affordable diapers, formula and baby essentials like lotion, powder, baby food and more!
Winn-Dixie’s improved Kuddles baby brand line features:
- New, softer, snugger drier diapers, with a back waistband for fit and containment and hypoallergenic and fragrance free liners, available in size 1 through size 5, plus training pants;
- Alcohol-free baby and kid wipes in 10 assorted scents, including new Soothing Shea Butter, Lavender and Green Tea;
- FDA reviewed and approved baby formula with DHA and ARA in five varieties, featuring an innovative scoop that fits into the lid for easy access.

When Winn-Dixie offered to send me to purchase and review Kuddles products, I jumped at it. While I have done a pretty good job stockpiling diapers and baby products that we need for Asher, there are times when I’ve run out and had to go to the store last minute. When it’s 9 o’clock at night and I’m out of baby wipes, I’m not thinking about couponing or finding a deal. So, my hope was that from this review, I would find reliable, affordable baby items that I could purchase in a pinch. I headed to my local Winn-Dixie armed with the $50.00 gift card they provided me with and loaded my cart with baby products.
I bought lots of products (pictured above). My focus was getting comparable pricing on two necessities: Diapers and Wipes. We go through approximately five or six diapers a day (sometimes more). So a pack of diapers only lasts us less than a week!
Diaper Prices
Kuddles Size 4 Diapers, 27 diapers, reg price $7.49 ($0.28/diaper)
Pampers Size 4 Diapers, 28 diapers, reg price $10.99 ($0.39/diaper)
Huggies Size 4 Diapers, 24 diapers, on sale $9.49 ($0.39/diaper)
Wipe Prices
Kuddles Baby Wipes Tub, 72 wipes, reg price $3.09 ($0.042/wipe)
Pampers Baby Wipes Tub, 64 wipes, reg price $3.99 ($0.062/wipe)
Huggies Natural Care Baby Wipes Tub, 64 wipes, $3.69 ($0.058/wipe)
I know that some moms have better experiences with one brand of diapers. But for us, I haven’t noticed one brand working “better” than another. Our biggest diaper struggle is at night. Every few mornings, my son will wake up with his pajama bottoms wet. I have yet to find a regular, non-nighttime/overnight diaper, to work 100% of the nights with Asher. So it will be interesting to see how Kuddles diapers work at night! I haven’t used Kuddles at night yet so will start using them tonight and will report back!
I have used Kuddles diapers on Asher during the day for the past 3 days and have found they work great. They have a slightly smaller fit on Asher compared to the Seventh Generation diapers he was using earlier in the week. I know that every child’s body is different so the way they fit on Asher may be different for your kiddos. I actually bought Kuddles in size 4 and size 5 so I can compare both sizes on Asher. I haven’t had any issues with leaking either after his nap or throughout the day. They are very flexible so as my very busy son runs around, climbs on things and basically acts like a gymnast, his diaper hasn’t bunched at all. I’m extremely pleased with Kuddles diapers. I’ve also been equally happy with the wipes. You know how some wipes seem thin and kind of dissolve a bit as they are used? These wipes are durable. In fact, my husband is headed to Africa soon and he is taking some of the wipes with him to keep himself clean if they run out of water, toilet paper, etc.
I will report back on how Kuddles works at night! And don’t forget to meet me at Winn-Dixie this Saturday, May 31st from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm at 2100 Swann Ave in Hyde Park, Tampa!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
