actually, I started for DS's butt and always said I KNOW Id never save money, but thinking about it today, I have already saved 20 dollars, LOL

(that is because I only buy diapers with the money that I get from selling my other diapers, so it is the same 100 dollars circulating around)

 

[Muggins&Doody]

:LOL

 

[scorpioqueen]

I've Cloth diapered for under $200 from newborn to now (19 months) I don't think thats too shabby.

yea ... that was one of my main convincing arguments for dh! HAHAHA But, he also knows that for some reason this all keeps me entertained and sane during the day, and we'll use them on future children. But yea, saving money here!!! :LOL

 

[ChristinaB]

I NEVER said that because I knew better

 

[JennInSeattle]

Saving money was about my last concern and I think it shows! :LOL

 

[JohnnysGirl]

Well at least my future babes will be able to enjoy this stash--- it's not like you can pass down disposable diapers after they've been used on one bum.

 

[jmofarrill]

Hmmmm, I don't think that was ever a consideration of mine... I started cd'ing Anwyn b/c little gel balls stuck all over her crotch disgusted me. I would have to have at least 2 more children working w/ the same stash to save money - :LOL

Oh yea.....that is how I *masked* it with DH. But you know what? He *really* thinks we are saving money.

And you know what, I think we are, too. No gas to the store. No late night trips. No actual purchasing of them. And I really don't have a *hyena* stash.... I am terrible at stalking!

: This believe exist in my home too! :LOL

Actually I broke even recently w/ DD. And I am saving w/ DS....

 

[danzarooni]

Heh yeah. Well, all but $100 for dipes was made by selling other stuff sitting around our house. But even so, I could have just sold that stuff and used the money for other things. But I love to CD!

 

[summiebee]

I too did it soley for health and cuteness factor. I told DH we'd save money. He actually believed me. Once I got in here and seen all the cute things, Iknew I was in trouble. Hehe.

That is AWESOME!!!
That's what CDing should be about

 

[sassyaztec]

DH STILL tells people how much money we are saving.

and we just started, so we are sooo OUT money right now. BUT it was nice being at the grocery store and when he asked me if we needed to go down the baby isle I said no (no dipes, wipes, ointment, or formula) so he got all happy and it reinforced the "saving money" bit!

 

[Susan_McCormack]

I think most of us can honestly say that we do save money (at least a little bit

)

Here's an article at borntolove.com that discusses the costs of disposables:

http://www.borntolove.com/expensive.html

They estimate that 2 1/2 yrs of disposies will cost $1,558.96 (and that's per baby!) I'll make sure to whip that number out the next time DH complains about my CD habit

 

[hallesmom]

I love that article!! I definately belive I am saving money right now.
And let's not forget....the resell value or the reusable value!!

Can I save money if I use only hemp or organic fitteds and wool (hoping to make most of the wool to save $)? Even if I don't resell, but do plan to use on multiple kiddos? I'm in it for the environment and I'm okay if I don't save much because our precious earth is worth it, but it would be nice to save some.

 

[clothcrazymom]

well I never said I was in it to save money.....but I did that calculation chart at Diaper Pin and figure I can still buy lots and at least break even if not save
