Frugal Tips
Would you call yourself a frugal momma? Is your goal in
cloth diapering to reduce consumption and stretch the greenback just
a tad further? The choice to cloth diaper certainly can be a
frugal endeavor. Do not confuse frugal with cheap - frugality
is anything BUT cheap. Being a frugal momma means making
economical decisions regarding the use of the resources allotted -
not being wasteful or lavish in your expenditures and/or time.
Here you will find personal tips from The Diaper Hyena™,
links to sites offering FRUGAL TIPS concerning cloth diapering
and accessories and
finally, cloth diapering sites in our WAHM DIRECTORY that offer gently used cloth
diapering products.
Don't forget . . . one of the most FRUGAL TIPS there are in
Diapering can very well be to make your own. Please peruse our
links on our Reap What You Sew page for more
information and INSPIRATION regarding sewing your own diapers!
Another way to diaper for less is to bid on gently used
diapers in auctions. In this situation it is always wise to
decide what you want to spend from the outset or you might find
yourself in a bidding war with another momma that has her heart set
on the same diaper (yes, you CAN become emotionally attached to a
diaper you have never actually seen or felt). Watch shipping
fees as well - they can add up in a jiffy. Check seller's
other auctions to save on shipping - often they will package them
together for a lesser shipping cost. Either way, if gone about
wisely, auctions are just one more place to frugally stop and shop
for cloth diapers.
Speaking of frugal tips - don't go out and buy a baby names book
when you can access an extensive listing online for FREE.
Peruse the
Baby
Names Directory when in a quandary over the 'name game.'
