Cloth Diaper Purchases Total...(ouch)

Stella's_PUMPED

$579.94!!

That is my current cloth diaper total for one year!!  I think I have a problem.  I feel like this is a TON of money.  This amount includes accessories as well as dipes (doublers, snappis, wool wash, pail liners...etc).

I just did a comparison of what I would have spent if I used disposables and it was around $900 for the year...so I'm feeling a little better already.

Don't feel bad. I've spent more.

If it makes you feel better, my total including all accessories and diapers is $887.11 and my LO isn't even here yet!! I keep telling myself I can recoup a lot of that investment and the amount of diapers we have should comfortably last us until potty training. . .but still!

I think I have spent pretty similar to that but I am not keeping a running tab (on purpose!)  It is hard to see a large number like that!  I am trying to sell some that I didn't like.  I didn't really choose to use cloth diapers to save money anyway.  It was more because I believed it would be better for DD's health and the environment. 

Hopefully I can reuse a lot of them with future children and actually save money!

This. You could have done a lot worse and you're already saving money over disposables.

Ive spent around $1100 on my stash. I have the exact total on my spreadsheet but im on my phone. From everything Ive sold already i havent lost more than 50% per item and most of the time I break even.

I've spent a little more than this and I actually don't feel guilty about it at all.

I've spent more as well.  But, I've recently destashed about 6 diapers and the difference from what I spent on them and sold them for was $34 - I think I made out okay:)

I love that cloth dipes have resale value:)  It makes it fun, and makes me feel less guilty about buying more....***cough - GM - cough, cough**
