The Cost of Your Newborn Baby Diapers

You and the Cost of Newborn Diapers

I’ve always thought that newborn diapers were more cost effective than the other sizes. (For those of you who haven’t had a baby, the way diaper packages work is that the larger the size of the diaper, the less you get per package, even though it’s the same price.) Then I saw how may newborn diapers we were actually going through and realized that the cost savings were negligible.

Yes, our little bundle of joy was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through newborn diapers like crazy. And we weren’t just going through the newborn diapers, either – we were going through everything. For something so small, the baby created more laundry than my wife and I combined.

Of course, I knew before we even decided to have the baby that it would be expensive. But the things I was thinking of were a little further away, like needing to get braces or going to university. Just how much could a little baby consume and cost? A whole lot, as it turns out.

I never thought it would happen, but I became 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. How did this happen? I now put all my coupons in an envelope so that I’m organized when I get to the store.

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’ll come home without anything if I go without a list; I’ve barely slept in three weeks and my brain isn’t functioning properly.

And what I’d probably end up with is just more 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’ve started making my list, and I wait anxiously for the flyers to be delivered each week. Then I go through them, very methodically, and make a list of what I need to get from each store so that I get all the best deals.

Still, despite all the unexpected expenses and lack of sleep, I’m savoring it all, trying to commit every last moment to memory. Because I know in a few short years (or heck, even a few months from now) 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 treasure each moment I have with her now, when my beautiful child is still small enough to fit into those impossibly small newborn diapers.
