***Remember that I generally just price match at Walmart as much as I can rather than go to all the stores separately! I LOVE being able to do that. You can also pricematch at Target, but I find it easier to pricematch at Walmart.

MyBlogSpark and Seventh Generation have provided me with an EXCLUSIVE sneak peek at the newly re-launched Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers. I am so excited to tell you all about them AND to be able to GIVEAWAY a package of diapers to one lucky Beckee's Deals reader!

First, What is it?

As I mentioned I was able to get a sneak peek at the newly re-launched Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers. As they told me, "What Seventh Generation leaves out is just as important as what they put in." Let me tell you what makes these diapers different and unique:

• Free & Clear diapers do not include chlorine processing, fragrances, latex and petroleum based lotions.  
• In an effort to contribute less overall landfill waste and continue to ensure a premium standard of absorbency, the new Free & Clear diapers have been redesigned with a lighter-weight core.
• With processed chlorine-free wood pulp in Free & Clear diapers, Seventh Generation also makes certain that no chlorine is released into the environment during the totally chlorine-free (TCF) whitening process of the diapers and training pants.
• Seventh Generation has also reduced the size of the diapers’ plastic packaging, meaning that each pack now contributes even less overall landfill waste than before.
• Seventh Generation Free & Clear diaper packaging can now be recycled at local supermarkets where plastic bag recycling collection boxes are available.

What did we think?

As you can see, we had baby Everest try them out (here he is trying to crawl in them):

What did we think? To be perfectly honest, I am pretty particular when it comes to diapers and quite loyal to a certain brand. Though I do care about the environment, when I am searching for diapers, I care about other things first. Will it give my child a rash (he has sensitive skin)? Will it leak out? Or is is going to be absorbent enough? Will it fit him well and feel comfortable?

As Everest is only 3 months old I am not sure what he would say about the comfort level, but he seemed pleased wearing it see:

And I thought it did well holding in the explosive poops and the large amount of pee he dispensed into the diaper. For me the facts that it held in the explosion and seemed to be comfortable and did NOT give him a rash were the most important factors for me, and I really liked it.

What's the DEAL?

Quick personbal update:

Baby has a double ear infection (which explains his general grumpiness). The poor guy is miserable, so I am nursing him and trying to get the grocery list up, some deals up and a couple reviews/giveaways done for you!

There is even a Seventh Generation diapers review that baby helped me with that should post today...

Oh how I love the P.F. Chang's Lettuce Wraps...so good! They remind me of GNO's with Rockbrook ward back during medical school...
Anyway, if you go like P.F. Chang's on Facebook, you can print a coupon for free lettuce wraps. Check out their last status update about it:

FREE Lettuce Wraps are here! Look for the link that says FREE Lettuce Wraps under our photo. They will be available to print for the rest of the month, so there is no rush to print them today. We are expereincing a lot of traffic to the site this morning. If you are getting a blank page, we are looking into any errors, and please try again. The app will also not be visible on mobile devices.

Sounds good to me!
