Average Cost per week on diapers/formula

Re: Average Cost per week on diapers/formula
We go through a can of formula a day and it is about $30-32 a case (six cans). That is now, she is almost 11 months old. That is also for the ready to feed, I think powder is cheaper.
Obviously she drank less when she was younger, and drinks a little less now that she is eating more solids.
Diapers I don't know- I try and stock up so I don't really keep track.

Well we get formula from insurance  free . but Sara's formula is 24.00 a can of powder and they dont sell large cans.
Diapers I buy a case of 120 for 30.00 and it lasts a while.

Re: Average Cost per week on diapers/formula
Well, I am not the norm in terms of formula, we spend roughly 150-175 A WEEK on her formula, but it's prescription formula. As for diapers, I buy the BJ's brand and it's all of 18.99 for a huge box and lasts me almost a month, so maybe 5 bucks a week on diapers?

Re: Average Cost per week on diapers/formula
OK jumping in here. Is the stuff you buy in bulk OK? Is the quality just as good?
We were not going to renew our BJs membership, but now I think we will if the quality is just as good as the name brand stuff.
Thanks!

Re: Average Cost per week on diapers/formula
I like the quality BJs diapers so much better than the pampers. No they don't have that baby scent or soft fluffy outside, but they sure as hell hold a lot more pee pee, and that's all that matters to me
Also, if you are formula feeding and your child can use regular formula, which most can, they sell those HUGE azz cans. I also use their wipes.
