Everybody knows that raising children is expensive. Even before that bouncing baby comes out of the womb, you're already spending mad money. Between diapers, formula, clothes and more, the costs add up fast. You just need to have some common sense to save money. Formula alone can set you back more than $100 a month. That's a high price to pay when you could be feeding you child for free. Besides having many health benefits for baby, breastfeeding can save you a fortune. Nurse your child for as long as you possibly can. If you're unable to breastfeed any longer, look to Costco, Sam's Club or other warehouse stores where you can get more for less by buying in bulk. Also surf the Web for discounts, coupons and special offers. If your child is moving on to solids, skip those jars of food. At $1 a jar, you can end up spending around $100 a month on baby food at the very least. Why not puree your own food? Hit the farmers market for fresh produce. If you are still set on buying baby food that's already made, clip coupons to save you cash.
