I use mostly Kawaii. They're cheap. I will say that the velcro is starting to go after 9 months of use, so if you don't want to worry about that go with snaps.

Or you can buy used. I'm so cheap, I bought my Kawaii used.

Alva is cheap also and they seem to be pretty good diapers. You can't buy them in the stores but I know that you can get them off ebay.

I second the Kawaiis.  We bought ours off of Ebay for really cheap.  We got 12 of the heavy duty with aplix for $65 with free shipping.  I love them so far.

I wouldn't recommend the No name brands from ebay. I bought a few cute prints for special occassions and they are junk.  i'm talking the .99 cents with 4.99 shipping diapers.

I like Kawaii, Alva, and Sunbaby. They're all cheap, with Alva and Sunbaby just a tad cheaper than Kawaii. All 3 brands have performed very well for us.

Look at buying used as well.  I have a pretty decent stash built up and I have spent less than $200.

I totally agree with PP's about kawaiis and alva babys, they're great diapers for a great price. Also look into prefolds and covers, they're even cheaper and very easy to clean and care for.

Sales online and craigslist! Cotton babies was (or still is)selling Flip covers for $9! These are OS covers and are great quality. You can pair them with prefolds, their inserts or fitteds. You don't need a ton of covers since you can reuse them a few times before washing.

I'm jumping on the kawaii train too. My stash is mostly kawaii and I love them.

I say try a diaper trial once baby arrives, you can use it and find a bunch of different styles that will go with your baby or more importantly what wont work with LO, and buy used what you like and return what you don't.  definitely keep an eye on craigslist and seconds sales at the online companies.

My entire stash is used, purchased from DiaperSwappers.com (and a few from Craigslist). On average, I'm paying $10 per diaper.

Lovely pocket diapers are great and very inexpensive.

Most of my stash is Sunbaby or Kawaii diapers and I'm happy with them.  Since you still have plenty of time before baby comes you have plenty of time to wait on getting Sunbabies directly.  I love that they have cute prints for cheap, and apparently some of the cute prints resell for even more than what you originally pay for them!  Prefolds and covers are a cheap way to start out too, especially for the newborn stage when the one-size diapers will be a little too big still.
