    Though the best way to save money is to use fabric diapers. I bought used simple folding diapers and some pants for the cost of two weeks of single use diapers, and I’ve had to buy larger sizes a couple of times since (to the full price in stores). It’s still cheaper.

    Yes, it’s more work, and I need to do a diaper laundry every other day, but our washing machine uses little water and electricity, and I hang them to dry.

    That’s the key here. The NRDC or some other environmental group did a study on the environmental impact of using cloth versus disposable diapers, and the conclusion was that there was no difference, mainly because of the impacts of energy and water use in all the washing and drying of cloth diapers. But if you use an Energy Star washing machine and hang the diapers to dry, that should reduce their lifetime cost (and environmental impact) considerably.

    Not useful to many GRS readers???

    I’m a GRS reader and I find saving money on diapers to be a pretty useful skill considering the almost two thousand dollars I will have spent by the end of it all.

    Thanks for the mention!

    Not to mention you should wash them in cold water. Most cloth diapers recommend you should use a very small amount of regular washing powder or some other low-impact washing solution. If you do this I feel sure the impact of using cloth diapers will be much lower.

    Sorry. Poor phrase-ology. I simply meant that I suspect a small percentage of readers are at that stage of life. Of course, that’s true of many of the items I share here, so in retrospect it’s rather silly of me to have mentioned it. Keep up the good work, Angie.
