Diapering_: Yard Sales
Thanks to Pam for this Frugal Baby Tip!

My baby is almost 6 months old, and about 2 weeks ago I decided to
look into cloth diapers. I used disposable on my other two and on the
baby until Saturday. I decided to check into all the advantages of
cloth vs. disposables and all the accusations on the chemicals used
in disposables. I sent Pampers an email and read lots of stuff on
line. Pampers responded very quickly and with vague termonolgy.

My husband was totally AGAINST cloth, no way, no how, forget it, dumb
idea. So I said OK this past Friday and pretty much put the idea out
of my head. Up until that point I had been looking for nice used
cloth diapers, since new were NOT in our none existing budget. I was
spending about $30 per month on disposables plus the cost of wipes.

Friday evening my husband said he'd like for us to go to yard sales
on Saturday, We love yard sales. I decided not to go since my
daughter had a friend sleep over on Friday night. So he gets up
bright and early, and goes yard saling. He usually looks for
electronics, y2k stuff or tools and that's what he was looking for.

He comes home an hour later with 3 big boxes. I'm thinking Oh, great
more junk for his electronics room. He opens the boxes and they are
jammed packed with cloth diapers and plastic pants kinda things (I'll
learn the terminology eventually I guess).

They are really nice and he paid only $20 for over 100 plus pants.
They are in different sizes. I washed them and dried them in the sun,
and she is now wearing them. It's great. My husband said it was like
God gave him a little push, and he almost tripped over them.
