Here’s an idea. Spend the first $50 on a bunch of cloth diapers and wash them.

We did that and saved thousands of dollars after 4 kids.

We ran the numbers once. It was about $20 a month for disposable vs. about $1 a month for water and laundry soap.

We raised those four kids on a single income. It was tough but with the right money saving techniques, it works well.

We’re still very frugal now and don’t really need to be as much, but it’s a way of life and pretty easy.

Perhaps if the lady in the article would do something for herself instead of relying on handouts, she’d develop a little bit of self respect and self-reliance.

See your answer and the video have nothing in common.  There wasn't one man in that video.  There was no mention of a man or husband. 

It's amazing how "desirable" these chubby single moms are.  In regards to how they can find a man to give them more children.  The video didn't cover this topic, but I wonder how many of the fathers are financially contributing to the diapers in question.

cloth diapers - exactly
Rinse in the toilet , wash with bleach. Pennies on the dollar compared to pampers.
