We love Fuzzi Bunz but their inserts are expensive at as even as little as three for $13.00.

So we save a lot of money by just using shop towels - we buy them at Costco, but any large warehouse, auto parts store or even Amazon will carry these.

They are white terry cloth towels.

Sometimes we use the microfiber shop towels for even more absorbancy - and cheaper price too!

We fold them in thirds and use as fillers inside the Fuzzi Bunz.

The shop towels air dry great because they are so thin, and they are very absorbent.

Thanks to Nina Maginnis for this Frugal Baby Tip!
