I am not saving any money *yet*, but in the long run I will. For one, I plan to keep my dipes and reuse them on future babies. Just like all the Larges that I have now for ds#1, I will be able to use on ds#2 when he is in Larges. (And hopefully ds#1 will have potty learned by that time) And if I did not want to keep my dipes to reuse, I could sell them and make back at least 50% of what I have spent. So any way I look at it, I will save $$ in the long run. It has become a hobby for me though. And I love it!
