Diapers

So  we all know that Diapers are expensive.  If you don't have kids, go down to the baby area of your local store and look at the prices of baby stuff.  I think this is partly because when you have a baby one really doesn't have a choice.  you need diapers, baby wipes, bottles and all of the other supplies and the baby industry know this so they charge what ever they want.  This is evident when one diaper company lowers or raises prices the others do the same.  I think that there is some baby opec that is involved.  So as frugal parents that we are we try to save a few dollars because if I don't need to pay the high prices I don't want to.  So we went and found some diapers that were a little less and apparently not in the baby opec organization because the diapers that we bought were like $5 cheaper.  When we saw this we thought wow this is great and we proceeded to check out and have a large smile on our faces because we thought we defeated the diaper enemy.  I guess if you are not in the baby opec you don't get the same secrets that the opec members get because those cheaper diapers that we thought had such a great deal is apparently not that great of a deal.  The diapers don't hold crap.  Literally and figuratively.  My kids will pee once and the diaper will have the pee oozing out the other side. Such a mess and now I have to spend the more money to get a better diapers so I don't have the mess every single time.   Curse you Baby OPEC!!!

I love having a husband who blogs about the joys of diaper-dom.
