Great Article "Top 7 baby costs, and how to save"

Most of the things on here I'm already doing but I love the way it breaks down the costs:

I have gotten a few hand me downs and they were great - I used everything. I breastfeed and we are now using the cloth diapers. I love them. They are totally stylish and comfy.

One suggestion I won't take away from this article is making your own food. I was going to make my own baby food, however, after reading the "Super Baby Food" book I became overwhelmed with all of the cleaning and food safety stuff. So, when the organic baby food goes on sale at 50 cents a jar I stock up. I also bought some organic baby food on Diapers.com. I got 12 jars for $7.99 (so much less than $1 per jar as mentioned in the article). At this point Ethan is only eating 1 to 2 jars of food per day, which is only $20 per month.

P.S. Ethan is 7 months old today :)
