Are all diapers the same or are brand name better than store brand? Do you prefer cloth diapers or are they too much work with twins?
Once I get through the first trimester I would like to start finding diaper deals to help with post delivery expense.
thanks!
Re: Diaper question
For us, the store brands were better than the name brands. We thought about cloth diapers but realized even before the girls were here that it wasn't for us. Jillian's Drawer has a good trial pack for CDing.
Also, I wouldn't necessarily start to buy diapers now. Maybe set aside money for diapers because the kind of diaper I use won't necessarily be good for your kiddos. It's easier to be able to play around with the diapers at first to see what works instead of spending a whole lotta money upfront and finding out that your kids don't like them.
On the whole, CDing is much cheaper. You just have to be willing to put forth the upfront cost and deal with the laundry.
Unable to even.

I'm going to CD. We had decided that before finding out it was twins and am even more on board after. We did break down and buy some NB Huggies the other day for when they still have a cord. DH flipped at the price since it would take like $50 a week to diaper them.
CD can be a total money "waste" however if you need to send them to day care and you use AIO pockets that are twice a much as the prefold option or if you become "addicted" to the diapers and need to get new prints or try out new diapers. I picked a cheap system and will stick it out. At best I will experiment with $10-12 covers not $25 AIO or pockets.
We've used pampers swaddlers preemie, NB, size 1 and size 1 Luvs we got as a gift. So far the Luvs work just as well but they hold less so we have to be diligent about changing them or we may get a pee leak here or there.
It really depends on your baby though. I'd agree with PPs. Stock up money and try a few brands.

Amazon mom for sure. I wish I would have done it earlier. We use Luvs because they seem like the best bang for the buck. If you have an Amazon Prime account (which is well worth getting just for diapers) you get free shipping plus 20% off with subscribe and save. It's awesome getting a giant box of diapers delivered to your door and not having to worry about it. Look at cost per diaper to see what kind of deal you are getting. I pay much less than I would in the store for the same brand, and usually even less than the store brand diapers. CDing is awesome if you can do it, but I decided it wasn't something I was willing to tackle with twins.
