5 Tiny Secrets That Will Save Your Budget - When You Are Having a Baby
Why waste, when you can save, AND be healthier?
Did you know that having a baby implies a serious investment? Studies had shown that by the time the child graduated high school, parents spend in average $250,000!
You can start to cut down that huge expense, by making some easy changes in early stages:
1. Avoid disposables
From diapers to wipes, these products not only are loaded with harmful chemicals, but will drain approximately $3000 from your pocket.
By using cloth diapers and wipes, you can cut that down to about quarter. Your baby will thank you not just $ wise, but for our care to our landfill, too!
2. Buy quality products
While the imported clothing in supermarkets are slightly cheaper, due to the long supply chain involving import-export, the actual value of the product is a fraction of the cost. This translates in cheap materials and questionable quality.
Buying products manufactured locally gives you confidence in the quality of your goods. As well you can be sure that they are manufactured in ethical conditions.
