I was adding up everything I have and what I have spent. I keep buying more and I keep telling myself "You've spent so much already!!" But wasn't really sure how much I've spent. So I went through all my emails and accounts and added everything up. Looks like I've spent roughly $800 for all this (everything but KLOs bought new)
Pockets:
1 BG 3.0
15 BG 4.0
1 Bububibi
12 kawaiis
1 Knickernappie OS

Flips:
1 Flip Stay dry day pack
1 Flip Organic Day Pack
1 Flip cover + organic insert
2 Flip seconds covers

Newborn Stash:
24 Infant LL seconds prefolds
6 KLOs
4 WAHM nb fitteds
2 PrettyPrinteds smalls
3 XS Thristies covers
1 sz 1 Thirsties duo cover

Accessories:
BG diaper sprayer
Planetwise Medium wet bag
Planetwise hanging wet/dry bag
Planetwise pail liner
5 packs of RLR
CJ's BUTTer sampler pack

3 Snappis
1 Hemp/cotton doubler

What about you guys? I'd love to see you people that keep it under $500!!!!!!

I haven't purchased everything yet for my newborn stash but here is what I have plus what I'm going to get:

Fitteds
20 NB Clovers - $196
6 KL1s - $0 (trade)
4 KL0s - $30

Prefolds
2 dz Infant LLs - $35
1 dz Infant Rearz - $0 (FG credits)

Covers
6 XS Thirsties - haven't purchased these yet but would be $69 at full price
6 Size 1 Thirsties Duo Wraps - $20

Accessories
Planet Wise Wet Bag - $0 (FG credits)
Snappis - $0 (FG credits)

I already purchased wipes and pail liners three years ago so no new cost for me there. Wipes were ~$20 and pail liners were $12 each and we have four, so a total of $48. The sprayer I have was purchased on DS FSOT for $25 and I already have a large stash of BG Organic AIOs and my total cost on those is ~$250, though I only have so many because two kids will be using them.

Ok, so assuming I cut my BG Organic AIOs stash in half, my total cost is $568. That is still waaaaay better than buying disposables.

haha i dont really even want to think about what ive spent to far, if i had to guess id say about 1000

oh and i still have about 500 worth of stuff i want for his large stash, but im cutting myself off until after xmas

[ashj_1218]

I am NOT one of the ones you want to hear from. I tend to do things to the "extreme," so a new addiction can be very dangerous!! Lol. We are heading to the $1000 mark. I don't mind sooo much since we plan to use cloth with all future children and we only have one right now. But I sorta am shocked with the amount I have been buying! Our expenses are from:

Accessories:
-Diaper Sprayer
-150 cloth wipes (wash cloths)
-Stuff to make cloth wipes (baby wash, oil, spray bottles)
-Detergent for dipes
-Stain stuff for dipes
-4 diaper-friendly rash creams
-3 large wetbags
-2 small car wet-dry bags
-3 pair of Babylegs
-3 pair of wool longies (used)
-1 pair of fleece longies (used)
-3 snappies
-Odor stuff for the dipes (bumgenius)

Fitteds/Prefolds/"extra" inserts:
-3 fatty cakes fitteds (used)
-12 Chinese prefolds
-18 flips stay-dry inserts
-4 best bottoms hemp inserts
-2 thirsties hemp inserts

Covers/Hybrids:
-5 flip covers
-2 best bottom covers
-3 thirsties duo covers

AIO:
-3 Little Bees (flannel...not to thrilled with these)
-3 Cutie Patooties (etsy shop) these
-5 TKCuddlers (can't wait to have these come in sometime in the next couple weeks)

Pockets:
-7 Preston Pants (all used)
-8 Kawaii
-1 Happy Heinys
-3 Blueberries (used)
-1 Cheeky Baby (used)
-1 Fuzzibunz
-2 WAHM's (used)
-1 Pocket Change (used)
-1 Baby Kanga (used)

So, yeah, I totally know how much this addiction costs. I keep trying to tell my husband I really haven't gone *that* nuts, but when I look at how much I have spent in just a short time (about a month), it is a little nuts!!

You go!!! Niceeeee! :d

[mama2boys&girl]

I am not going to list everything because there would be too much but we are over $1500.00. That includes the newborn stash too and the new baby will get to use all of Brady's diapers too so I may end up saving money in the end.

[~LaurenNoel~]

I've spent only a few hundred. Most of my diapers were bought used, and I ask family for diapers for birthdays and holidays. I also sell what I do not like or trade.

[Jannell]

Honestly I don't even want to think about it! I don't think we will have saved any money. It is soo bad! Esp. if we don't have anymore children. ahh

[sara~b]

I'm terrible! I'm around $2,000 and still going. And DH says Ash is our last so no reuse here unless I change his mind!

[Goingfor3]

Mine is not that bad. Nolan is our last, otherwise I would have went nuts I think,lol.


I'm in the middle of weeding out all my pockets and new things are coming in, so adding mine up with ONLY what we currently have in rotation I guess Im around $300. Stuff coming in will bring me up to $400, and if I counted what's going out the door I'd be closer to $600. This includes accessories, so not too bad!

[mama_reese]

I've spent maybe 300 or so. We have some kushies, some flips, some econobums, some prefolds with covers bought on etsy, some thirsty covers and a thirsty fitted. and ONE BG. But I want more!! I have enough to get us through like 2 and 1/2 days or maybeee three withought washing. I want more fluffy mail though.

[becker206]

I've spent well over a thousand for all my diapers, accessories and detergent.

[artisticmind]

so far i've spent $325 on the dipes themselves, i've only paid shipping a a few, and a handful of them were taxed because i bought them from a "local" store in state. About 1/3 of our current stash i've bought used.

I've got 3 RaR (1 aplix, 2 snaps), 4 BG 3.0s, 1 BG 4.0, 1 GroBaby with an extra insert, 1 FB perfect size and 1 FB OS, 1 thirsties duo diaper size 2, 2 flip covers and a total of 4 staydry inserts, 3 random ebay minky diapers, 1 kawaii with no insert, one TCK with no insert, 2 bumkins Large AIOs (on the way, haven't received yet), 6 cotton babies prefolds, 2 bummis SWW, 1 snappi, and 2 Kushies on the go wet bags.

I've also spent another $10 on PUL from JoAnns to make my own large wetbag and another $5 on thread making my own cloth wipes (i recycled some gerber flannel receiving blankets that i received as a shower gift), i got 36 wipes out of 4 blankets. Not to shabby if i do say so myself

When all is said and done I'll have spent probably $1500 or so on our stash, but this will be over the course of several years, I plan on using these for all of our kiddos, we're hoping for 3 total and riley is getting a lot of use out of our stash so far so about $500 or so per kid, not bad considering sposies for each kid can run upwards of $3000 After getting some more pockets and AIOs i'm going to start building a future newborn stash. Unless I decide to spoil Riley's bum a little more before we start TTC next year

Yeah, my total doesn't count what I've resold. I did buy a lot of GMD prefolds and I spent a lot on dye but I resold a ton of the dyed prefolds on my etsy shop. If I add up only what we have now and don't count what I've sold then we're probably around $1,000, maybe $1,500 since I started becoming addicted to customs and wool.

[wclark602002]

this from an earlier post but i havent bought anyting else so...

well i have almost fell out before looking at some of the prices people have paid for dipes i am a cheapy....lol...i bought 3 packs of prefolds was given one pack so thats $36 . i bought 6 pocket dipes off ebay for like $20 ,i got i think 4 WHM off DS for $10 and a set of 2 snappis for $3 ( i like my pins waaay better) and i was blessed to get 11 BG from the diaper fairy . prefolds and flats(recieving blankets here...lol) are by far my favorite and i had more than enough to last 2-3 days between washing even before i got my gift of BG's...and i love sewing so ive made quite a few out of things i have here at the house..T-shirts,sweats,blankets,sheets...you name it i prolly tried it so i have under $100 in my "stash" and i love it!!! as for caring for them i had a stinky issue one time with some inserts but hey once in 15 months aint bad

[benandali]

under $100???!!!!! Do you use a wetbag or liner? Did you make your own?? I just dont even know how its possible to stay under 100 LOL! What about covers? WOW, that's awesome!
