How much money does cloth diapering save you? Let me break down the costs!

Initial Investment of diapers and material:

  • 12 – One size fuzzibunz diapers – $200
  • 1 – 20 pack of liners – $20
  • 1  - Wet hamper – $20
  • 1 – Wet bag – $15
  • 1 – Bum genius diaper sprayer – $45
  • Diaper safe detergent $10
TOTAL COST: $310

Average cost of disposable diapers every month: 

Total Cost Average: $100/monthly

 

Basically you make up the difference in cash after 3 months and some change. That doesn’t even count if you have multiple children! Savings of up to $900 for the first child and $1200 for every child after that! BOOM BABY! CASH MONEY.

Thank you to my wonderful WIFE for providing me with the numbers and so forth!

They even look quite stylish and provide a lot of comfort for your baby…

  1. I wish I had known about these extraordinary savings when my tot was little. She’s 6 now. Thank God! Babies are expensive in many ways!

  2. We use cloth nappies, which I have always felt were cheaper but never had the numbers to back me up. This was great, thanks.

  3. Turns out quite costly Craig!

    I sure am glad that my kids are well grown up now, so one doesn’t have to worry about diapers any longer. Speaking of which, I always believed in using home-made nappies for their soft and delicate skin, which used to avoid skin rash of any kind, and they always turned out cheaper from any market version of diapers nowadays. But yes, that was long time back, though if people still manage to make a handful of those for using, it turns out best.

    Thanks for sharing. :)

    • We are actually looking into making home-made nappies and I will let you know how that goes! Thank you so much for the comment and welcome to my blog!
