Let's do a simple calculation, you change your baby 6-8 times in a 24 hour period, and each disposable diaper cost you approximately RM 0.50.
RM0.50 x 8 = RM 4.00/Day
RM4.00 x 365 = RM1,460.00 / Year
Averagely a child will only be fully potty train by age of 3.
RM1460 x 3 = RM 4,380
If you have 3 kids , just your diaper usage will cost you RM13,140!
The cost of cloth diapers may seem expensive in the beginning. However, let's begin our simple calculation again :
You will need about 6-8 cloth diaper a day, and keep another 2-3 as spare.
RM 79.00 x 12 = RM 948.00
And that’s it! You can continue to use these diapers till she is fully potty trained. These diapers are also durable enough to pass on to the next sibling. This is a big saving especially now that we have not with the increase in petrol prices. We have seen an increase of almost 20% in the cost of most things lately.
Being a mom, we are not only passionate about raising our kids, but we can also passionate about being frugal and getting the best value for our hard earned money! |
