I thought this would be fun to talk about, since everything seems to be getting real expensive. I was talking to someone the other day who said that he and his wife are expecting. It brought flash backs, and made me think of the things that I would have done, if I could do it over again. I had a buddy of mine tell me every time I went to the store for anything, to buy diapers. He told me that he and his wife stocked up an entire closet worth of diapers.

I took his advice but didn’t start until my wife was 6 months pregnant. We had stocked up on boxes of diapers, but it didn’t last long. It was nice not to have to worry about spending 20 bucks on a box of diapers every week when we had other financial obligations, such as, Doctor bills, formula, and everything else that comes along with having a baby.

So here is a couple things that will help you out when you are expecting.

1. Take the advice and buy diapers every time you go to the store, even if it is a small bag. So what if they grow out of them, take them to the store and exchange them for a different size.                                                                                                                                    2. When you have a baby shower, tell the attendees to bring a bag of diapers along with whatever else they were going to purchase. It doesn’t have to be a $20 box of diapers, the smallest bag is fine, it all adds up.

Please share your tips.
