Cloth diapers do cost a bit up front, but they can save you soooo much money in the long run. I have 2 kids and used disposable diapers on the first and I estimate that I spent about $1400 on diapers. For my second baby I decided to try cloth. They are so easy to use and I spent about $500 on them. I know that I wont have to spend any more and that is quite a relief.

I am a huge fan of freecycle, and I have gotten lots of baby stuff from there. Yesterday I actually gave away three bags of kids clothes, a bag of toys my kids no longer needed, magazines and a rocker.

I wonder if moms noticed the change in price, but I bet that Costco tried to hide the cost by changing the packaging size too? (I’m not trying to say something bad about the warehouse store, because this seems to be a common tactic among retailers).

I think it’s important to shop around for diapers. I just did a post on my blog, which unfortunately doesn’t get much traffic, showing that Kirkland brand diapers (the Costco brand) recently went up 26-33% in cost, making them about the most expensive diaper on the market.

I also find the image of a mother and a newborn beautiful. I am not married nor do I have kids but I will make sure that before we take the plunge all these things will have been taken care of so that money issues never ever come to play. Simple prudence it is called… it will save you a lot of headaches in the future.

FYI – you spelled the site name as Freecyle.org instead of Freecycle.org
