Disposing of disposable nappies save yourself $500 per yr like we did.

i used to use the cheap nappy sacks but found cheap freezer bags or plastic shopping bags the best for nappy disposal.

Great Advice

 

We saved heaps of money on everything. I got vertually all  the big furniture of my brother and sis in law as their kids had grown up and was just sitting in the shed doing nothing, so we basically got the cot, bouncer, dressing table Oh, i have a girl too, and we got a few dolls etc etc. All that my hubby and i had to buy was clothing, and the other small things. We did try using cloth, but didn't work for us, so we had to use disposables, and did the same as you, in putting the dirty smelly one's into the bags, and it didnt smell the bedroom or bins out.

My brother did it for their youngest child, and never looked back, and i followed suit. It's a great idea isn't trying to save money with children.

So there was another way LOL I have only ever used zip lock bags.......thanks for putting it out there regards Merle

 

We also did this, and we saved heaps of money aswell. We used to use the plastic shopping bags, and put the nappies into there and put them in the bin every night, so there was no smelly nappies in the house.

 

i love all money saving ideas

I hadn't thought of this myself either......

Good tip

Cheers

i am quite embarrassed to say, i never thought of that (dopey me!)

but in a way, im quite lucky to have a $2 shop near my house that sells nappy sacks, 200 for $2, i never saw them anywhere else, but, if i ( or the $2 shop) run out, now i know i Always have freezer bags handy.

thanks bleshu!

I never used disposable nappies, but can honestly say that I used freezer bags for all the dirty and wet nappies we had to take home to wash, and once it's sealed it keeps the smell in anyway.  No need for smelly things that cost a fortune! I was given most of a box of 100 when my friend stopped needing them.  Turns out I'm allergic to whatever makes them scented anyway.
