I need to back away from the cloth diapers

It has become an obsession trying to find diapers lately. Earlier this week I found a good selection of gently used on Jillians Drawers and placed an order. I received them on Saturday and was so happy! Then I get on facebook tonight and see that they had added new stuff to their gently used stock so of course I HAD to check it out and place another $50 order so that I could get the free shipping. Now I have pretty much everything I need for when LO first arrives but I have a feeling I won't be able to stop myself from buying more. Paypal makes it way too easy, I don't even have to get up and get my credit card! I would be spending way more on sposies in the next few months, so this is justifiable right?

Re: I need to back away from the cloth diapers

  • I'm not in the position to convince you not to do it. I haven't bought new fluff in a long time, but, when I do, I only buy seconds or used. And I keep a spreadsheet with a price per diaper breakdown (including shipping). So that helps me to keep my spending under control since I don't want it to go higher than the $7.30ish that it is now. OL. New fluff is very addicting!

  • maybe you need a hubby like mine. I spend like it's going out of style.  he gets sooo mad and I hate when he is mad at me.  That fear is what keeps me in line and the reason why I only have 29 diapers :)

  • He has kept me from buying outfits and other things that the baby doesn't need yet. I really really really wanted some letter blocks and made the mistake of trying to get them when he was with me. I'm sure he wouldn't approve of this order if he knew about it, he will never realized how much the stash has increased until it is time to start diapering.

  • Resist! I went overboard in the beginning and recently did the math and discovered it took me 18 months to recover the cost of what I spent on cloth vs what I would have spent on disposables.

    Ha, thanks for the advice/warning! I'll probably try Susie's method of tracking to see how I am doing before plotting my next purchase.

    I figure it will also help when I go to sell them since I'll know what I spent on them in the first place. I love getting a deal, so it's really helped me to stay in check by not spending a ton on one CD since I know it is a lot higher than anything else I've bought or if I've bought the same CD for cheaper before.

  • You guys are doing much better than I did by buying used. I bought all of mine on sale, but they were new so I still spent a lot and some of it was on diapers I ended up not using a whole lot. I recently added what I've spent on the diapers, liners, sprayer, and laundry detergent and it came to $800!
