I was looking into our finances today (trying to work out a budget and reduce debt, yada yada)
and we spend about $150 a month solely on DD NOT INCLUDING medical or food. (If medical was included it would probably jump to $1,000 a month). The $150 is just on everything else (diapers, wipes, clothes, toys, books, supplies, etc.) Does anyone know if this is high or normal?

I also realized that all our bills have gone up because I'm doing more laundry, using the dishwasher more often & keeping the heat up so DDs comfortable.

Re: $$$$

diapers we spend approx $50- $60 a month on and formula- we spend prob $150 a month on.

Clothes not so much as we've been given a lot of nice hand me downs so If i spend $10-$15 a month on clothes on average, that's alot.

Not to mention special laundry detergent(we always used the cheap stuff) but DS is very sensitive so not only do we have to wash his in it, we have to wash anything that may touch him in it, including our clothes. Special creams, wash etc.

Running the dishwasher more for bottles, etc.

Yeah it all adds up!
