Dont answer if you dont want to, but how much do you spend on disposables every week? I'm just making up a poster for a Fuzzi Bunz stall and need to put in a statement about how much disposables cost compared to Fuzzis. The general figure is $2500 average over 2.5 years, just want to see how accurate that is.
Thanks ladies  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

well, i buy huggies or ultra only on special, and go thru aobut a packet and a half a week. I spend between $10 and $13 a week, depending on how cheap I have bought them for and how many cloth I have bothered to use that week! ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

On average I'd say I spend around $13.20 a week. We go through two packets @ around $6.60. but sometimes that will drop to $6 each like this week (Treasures Giggles were on special for $5.98).. I usually get Pams Regular. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Roksana, that $2500 is for disposables, Fuzzis are about 700-800 for 2.5 years.
Thanks for your help ladies  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

um, when we had both in nappies we would buy two packs of 40 nappies, for each of them a fortnight, so i spose about $60 every two weeks. now that paris only ewears them for sleeps its gone down a heap - but i second what Becs said about taking nappies to daycare - we go through a heap of them when the girls are there. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

although i spose the only down side for using fuzi-bunz would be that many daycares do not do the cloth nappy thing - but i spose it would save money when they aren't at daycare. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I think daycare have such a strict 'changing' schedule that they get changed every couple of hours even when they aren't neccessarily wet. I had Maya in cloth at daycare and often the bucket would come home with 5 nappies in it and only 3 were wet, the other 2 she had obviously been changed before she was actually wet.

Taine goes through a pack of nappies a week - we get them from baby factory and I love them.
$5-50 Jake...maybe a pack in a week and a half....so $10. roughly. But my nappies are cheapies. I still love them though. Would be interested in fuzzibunz, apart from the initial cost again! |

Ha Ha Roksana! I don't even want to THINK about it! have bought 3 dozen cloth squares like I had for Maya, and am planning to buy a pack of disposables a week from now until they're born so that I have a nice stock built up! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Good idea. We bought around 12-15 packs of 26(I think)before Zaara was born but still had to go and buy more soon after. I think it could be because I was a new mum and changed her every 1/2 hour....he he ha ha.

True Aimee - Gsmum has been working on me! I used dsposables for the first 6 weeks, then I used cloth squares with Maya and only used disposables at night which meant that once she started sleeping thru at 7 weeks I was only using one disposable a day which was pretty cheap, so am hoping it will work out the same with the twins. The first few weeks are going to be blimmin expensive tho! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Also chicks, don't forget that the resale ability for Fuzzibunz eg. through Trademe is really high - so you not only save on using Fuzzibunz, you can resell them when you've finished with them and make a good portion of your money back.
It's something that I considered when I bought them for my own little stock of stuff in preparation. ------------- Simonne xx ~ Established 1979 ~ |
