The Price of Newborn Baby Diapers

You and the Cost of Newborn Diapers

Maybe I was naive, but I thought that since you get so much more per package, that newborn diapers were more cost effective. (If you don’t have kids, when you buy diapers, the larger the size, the fewer diapers you get per package, even though the cost is the same.) When I saw how many we were actually going through, I realized that we weren’t actually saving any money.

Yes, our little bundle of joy was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through newborn diapers like crazy. And it wasn’t just the newborn diapers, either – the resources this child consumed was amazing. Such a wee little thing, but the baby created more laundry by herself than the rest of the family combined.

I wasn’t naive, I knew having a baby was really expensive. But I had been thinking a little further down the road, things like braces and university. Just how much could a little baby consume and cost? Way more than I thought; way, way more.

So now, I’ve turned into that guy. I’m the guy that clips coupons, not only for newborn diapers, but for other things as well, to help offset the added cost of our little bundle of joy. What happened to me? Now I get all my coupon organized and in an envelope, and go do the shopping.

And I’m actually going through the grocery store flyers and making a list before I go, something I never did before I had a baby. While I’m sure this also helps us save money, trying to offset the cost of the newborn diapers is not the motivation here. No, it’s because I’ve been running on less than three hours of sleep for going on three weeks now, and I’ll probably forget everything I came for if I go without a list.

The only thing I can remember that we need is the newborn diapers. I know at least that we need those, even if I’ve forgotten everything else, so I’ll just buy package after package of newborn diapers. So I make my list, and I’ve even gone so far as to actually wait for the flyers to be delivered every week. In order to make sure that I’m getting all the best deals, I go thorugh all the flyers and make a list of what I need to get from each store

Still, I’m trying to commit every last moment to memory, depsite the lack of sleep and extra strains on the pocketbook. Because someday very soon (and probably sooner than I think) I’ll come across one of those newborn diapers and be amazed that my child was ever small enough to fit into them. So I want to treasure these moments now, when my little child is small enough to still fit into those teeny-tiny newborn diapers.
