I remember when my first child was born in the late 80’s. A box of disposable diapers in my area could not be had for anything less than ten bucks...

Mine —slightly older. I used cloth diapers most of the time, but also wanted to have disposables for the many car trips to grandma's. It was before the advent of big box stores. I got Toys R Us to sell me an entire carton for a much lower price. Had to drive around to the back of the store to have the stock clerk hand the carton out over the loading dock.

My daughter was born in 1981. Before she was born I bought a huge economy box of diapers out of each paycheck If people asked me what I needed I’d tell them diapers. My mom hit every yard sale she could find to buy baby clothes. In all sizes. By the time daughter was born I had a linen closet stuffed full of baby diapers and baby clothes. Enough for a full year in all sizes. Oh yeah, I was a single mom since I kicked the no good dad out as soon as I found out I was pregnant.
These people are all just wanting freebies.
