How much are disposable diapers?

Dumb question but I honestly have no idea as I have never bought them.  If you are a frugal shopper (sales, coupons, etc.) how much would you estimate that you spend each month on diapers.  I know that I could google but each site seems to have an agenda of some sort..."go cloth it's cheaper!"  "cloth isn't cheaper, why waste the time!" and all that...

Totally self-serving question because I am trying to figure out if we have broken even on the $780 that I have spent on CDs for MJ and baby #2.

Thanks!

    Right now a pack of size 3 huggies is $9 for 31 diapers. That lasts about 5-6 days average. And I usually have at least a $1.50 coupon but you can't count on that.

    So about $36 a month (Plus the cost of wipes.)

    I would say we spend about $40 a month.  When we were using Pampers and getting them at Sam's, we would go through about a box a month and they were $39.  This is at size 4s and 5s so we are going through less than when they are in smaller sizes.  We are going through about the same number of Target brand ones and they are about $30 a month.  HTH!!

    I would say I spend $40 a month on diapers.  I also used a combo of swaddlers/Cruisers and baby dry (both Pampers). I pick whatever is on sale.  Usually around $20 for 76-96 diapers at target.

    I will buy the $40.99 box of pampers cruisers at BRU when they put the $5 off value box coupon out and pair it with at least $1.50  manufacturers coupon.  Lately I've been getting good deals at CVS.  I imagine that I spend about $35/mo on diapers and maybe $6-12 on wipes depending on how bad #2's are.

    I guess that translates to about $960 to get her to 2, but we didn't buy diapers until she was about 5 mos old due to the diapers we got at the shower.

    We average between $20-$25 a month (we use Pampers and Huggies).  I won't pay more than 15 cents a diaper if that helps you determine a monthly cost.  When they're on sale for a great price, I stock up big time.

    I don't know how much I spend per month, because I stock up when they are on sale.  I don't/won't pay more than $5 for a jumbo pack (with my coupons/ECB/RR/sales).  I switch back and forth between huggies and pampers depending on where the deal is.  I have a nice stash built up for Ellie and am working on one for baby too.

    Well, it depends on the size.  If I can catch a great sale I'll do that, but otherwise I do Costco's Kirkland Brand.

    For size 1-2 (up to 15 lb), it works out to be about $0.18/dipe regular price and they have sales.  For size 3 (Andrew currently) it works out to $0.23/dipe regular price.  We've gotten cheaper diapers online on big sales too.

    We don't change his diaper often (about 5 times a day) and don't use a lot of wipes (only when he poops).  We've spent negligable money in wipes.

    I'd estimate we've spent $500 ish on diapers in Andrew's life so far, and normally I pay regular price at Costco (not as careful as I should be.) 

    I'll gues we've spent $50 on wipes.
