    Nice to meet some fellow poorpers. Im a new mum and have never been so skint. hope to find some great solutions from this site and forum so just registered. hope to chat soon :j
    also if you look on amazon the do bulk packs of nappies and wipe that can work out cheaper then buying seperate packs from supermarket.
  • I know exactly how you feel Rosie P. I am in my 4th month of SMP and am finding it tough. I see a few people have said that Lidl nappies are good, has anyone tried the Tesco/sainsburys cheapies? I was thinking of giving them a go -what do you think? Our local council gives £10 if you buy reusable nappies, perhaps your local one will do the same.
    Make £2023 in 2023 #32 £106.48/£2023SPC6#1888 - 2013 - £350.77 2014 - £338.75
  • I use Aldi nappies and they are worth a go - they're better than pampers in my opinion and for a £5 for 48 - size 4 cant go wrong :-)
  • I'm a few years out of having to buy nappies but I do remember buying branded, advertised ones. When I wanted to potty train my little 'un, I was advised to let him feel that he was wet so that he would want to get out of wet nappied. I bought Mr T's value nappies thinking they would do the job. Unfortunately (for me at that time and circumstance) they kept him as dry as any of the branded nappies. I remember thinking that if I'd known, I'd have bought them from day 1.
  • Another great way of saving money is the baby events. Tesco haveone at the moment and I managed to pick up a Huggies Super Dry Economy Pack forless than £5 and Johnson’s Baby Wipes for just 95p!
