I recently learned that cloth diapering comes with a never ending desire to shop.
That desire to shop-if met-can be quite gratifying!
So when I made a promise to hubby that I would not purchase any more diapers until after Christmas,I didn't stop and think of the impending withdrawals from which I would soon suffer!
Getting mail (as long as it's not bills) invigorates me;getting fluffy mail is like doubling that feeling!
I did win a random drawing entitling me to a free diaper-but that didn't do anything but wet my appetite and remind me of how fun it is to browse,select and receive those delightfully fluffy packages!
Then Kellyscloset just announced a limited time 'double diaper dollars rewards' program;I've gotten a lot of free diapers by using my rewards!
Ugh.
Why did I make that promise?
Hubby already feels badly for me (in all my agony) and offered to let me indulge in buying one diaper....ONE?!
I promptly told him "No thank you!" as this would seem rather unpleasant in comparison to selecting and receiving a whole box full of them!
Would it be bad to attempt an 'innocent' explanation of why now would be a wonderful and money saving time to buy more diapers-with the rewards program doubling and all......
No,I guess that wouldn't be fair....Hubs can't and won't tell me no.
Several cloth diaper manufacturers are releasing new designs and colors and I am so anxious to get them!
I am famished!
My diaper buying habit needs to be fed!
I have resorted to placing my insatiable need for fluff into the hands of giveaways!
I mean really,it worked once,maybe it will work again.
Or maybe hubby will cave and give back my diaper allowance.
I could always ask for fluff for Christmas......

Aiie! So.. it is just a never ending desire for more? Do you always feel like you want/need to get more? Wouldn't that be countereffective to saving money? lol. You're going to run out of room in your house :-P But... at least it will be soft everywhere you land!! Hehe! j/k

It can get very addicting!
ReplyDeleteA lot of women sell-off some of their stash when/before getting new diapers...some women enjoy trying new types of diapers...some,like me,just love to shop.
Another opinion I've heard was "well,all that money used to be spent on disposables!"
I have so many lil ones in diapers that I really feel I can't have too many.
If you are in it primarily to save money and you avoid 'fluff frenzy addiction there are much cheaper variations.....I hope to be trying some of the less expensive diapers soon!
Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog!
