Why does formula and diapers have to be so expensive?

Because they can get away with it. LOL Try to potty train your kids as soon as you can would be my advice.

Formula is about a $1/oz.
See if you can apply for WIC

Also go on the formula makers website. They have really good coupons that sometimes allowed me to get a whole can for free.

Diapers, same. Coupons!

And WIC. It might not be enough but it helps plus you get basic food items for you and baby! I love WIC and the concept behind it. Ours always teaches us really good ideas regarding parenting, nutrition, recipes.

They are encouraging making love, not babies.

Use cloth diapers. Gross but cheap

The estimated cost of raising a child from birth through age 17 is $233,610 -- or as much as almost $14,000 annually, the Department of Agriculture says. That's the average for a middle-income couple with two children.

It’s a big industry. If you have a baby shower, maybe ask for gift cards instead, or do a baby registry at a particular store like Target or Walmart.

Try cloth diapers! It's more money up front but if you can keep up with the extra laundry requirements you can save quite a bit!
