Diapering,
Rate this post:

Having been the cheapie that I am, I've gotten by with two dozen
Gerber prefolds, and six
pull-on nylon covers.
For a total of about $50 - that's it!
Now, my best friend uses disposable diapers and as her baby has gotten older, the disposables she buys, get more and more expensive.
She probably spends $100 every month right now on
disposable diapers.
(I know she spends about $40 whenever we go to Costco, and we go there all the time).
My utility costs increase has been negligible.
Really!
I haven't felt the difference personally.
My husband's stereo equipment probably saps more energy than my
front-loading energy efficient washer and dryer.
SHEESH!
Thanks to Robin for this Frugal Baby Tip!
