The Price of Newborn Diapers

Newborn Diapers: The Cost

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.) Of course, those savings mean nothing if you go through a lot of diapers, which is exactly what we were doing.

Our perfect little child was a pooping and peeing machine, and we were going through diapers like nobody’s business. And we weren’t just going through the newborn diapers, either – we were going through everything. 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 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.

Another thing that I’m doing that I’ve never done before is actually going through the grocery store flyers and making a list. While it does save us money, the real reason I do this is not to offset the cost of buying newborn diapers. No, it’s more because of the fact that I’ve barely slept in three weeks and I’m liable to get to the store and forget what I went there for in the first place.

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’ve started making my list, and I wait anxiously for the flyers to be delivered each 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, despite the lack of sleep and shock over actual amount having a baby costs, I’m trying to commit every last moment to memory. 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.
