It's difficult to measure as I sell on ones that don't work and get 50-75% back on their value and I don't know my laundering costs? It's not a regular chunk every week like disposables. If I feel skint we can manage (very easily ) on the stash we have, if I'm flush I spend. He even had some for Christmas gifts which wouldn't happen with Pampers! I suppose they'll really come into their own on baby #2, where the initial outlay will be much less. It's definitely cheaper even for a nappy addict like me!
