And I guess that could be enough, if I were willing to do that much laundry! I buy all my cloth used or at discount, and have just started buying (and reviewing) pocket diapers. My first purchase was via Etsy, and I have one on its way from GoGreen. <br /><br />Oh, and your kids are super cute!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255887001053932329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-76323999370620266392011-01-19T15:13:04.998-06:002011-01-19T15:13:04.998-06:00I have spent AROUND $300 for diapers.

That being said, I trade, I gift them, I lend them and I sample new brands out- this has hurt my pocketbook to an extent but it's been so fun/beneficial. AND, still- it's saved us money. We've had to waste whole entire disposable boxes due to chubby man's rapid growth.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909110650834731147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-85569133334238981022011-01-18T14:26:37.892-06:002011-01-18T14:26:37.892-06:00Mama, you are right....I suppose I should add that...Mama, you are right....I suppose I should add that my parents have paid for quite most of our diapers.<br /><br />Although, I'm pretty sure I paid for that first set of diapers from Craigslist......Laura @ Our Messy Messy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10036017218322694255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-42778835789212874342011-01-18T13:56:32.937-06:002011-01-18T13:56:32.937-06:00As poor as you were, I believe someone gifted you ...As poor as you were, I believe someone gifted you the first set and also gifted you the 2 different Craig's List sets.

I only have 12 but they usually go for $24 a piece. Definitely more than I'd spend myself! <br /><br />I really like them though and look forward to using these one sizers for many many years on many many butts. So, they're worth the cash.Jude and Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740898715504643168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-35844800313166725882011-01-17T14:30:51.313-06:002011-01-17T14:30:51.313-06:00Yep-one size.

So technically, those can be the only diapers you need. <br /><br />Just stay away from cloth sites when you have a few extra bucks to spend....it is dangerous :)Laura @ Our Messy Messy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10036017218322694255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-24853126729395905172011-01-17T09:19:38.303-06:002011-01-17T09:19:38.303-06:00I haven't started using them yet-do I still ge...I haven't started using them yet-do I still get to comment?<br /><br />I spent right around $300 for 19 All-in-Ones. 1 Fuzzibunz and 18 Bumgenius 4.0. Not sure yet if I'll need more, if I overbought, etc-but I KNOW it's gonna be cheaper than throwing a box of disposables in the cart every time I'm at Walmart!<br /><br />There's also the cost of the accessories-I have two nice wet bags for storing dirty diapers and two small ones for keeping in the diaper bag. They were all shower gifts-but probably cost about 100 total.Kaitlin @ More Like Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260649249438520187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-64898981243033631152011-01-16T21:27:54.138-06:002011-01-16T21:27:54.138-06:00Yeah, skirties are ridiculously cute.

Less than $200<br /><br />Then, I really fell in love with (and had Christmas money to spend) wool longies, so I bought a few pair and a dozen or so used fitteds in a larger size that he wore until he potty trained. another $150 or so...<br /><br />I added to my newborn stash with some nicer dipes with Charlie and my love for wool has only increased, so probably another $300 in the name of upgrade and extras<br /><br />so, what's that $650 ish for my 2 kiddos?
