As an extremely low income person (now a days, anyway) I still use disposable diapers. The cost isn’t that bad. It’s like $20 a week.

A lot of these people bitching about the cost of diapers also buy packs of smokes. I don’t care how ignorant I sound, the facts are the facts.

Low income people, by and large, send their money to the state lottery and cigarette companies without a hesitation.

Not saying all.. but you get my drift.

And oh god cloth diapers are the worst. Just my opinion.

Not so obviously welfare recipients sell their benefits at 50% (great scam) and since cigarettes by the carton are about $60, $120 of welfare checks goes to cigarettes, while breakfast and lunch is being funded for the little bastards at school, in addition...

Yes, Bernie and Shrillary, let's increase all that and share the fake "wealth."

You are absolutely correct but you forgot to mention that they are holding their new IPHONE in the other hand.

Families have to make choices. If you don’t want to pay for
diapers, here’s a thought....don’t have babies!

My wife is about to have ababy.

We are preparing: I will be damned if I get caught out like last time, and be forced to go to the store at night to meet some unforeseen baby need.

And so we are buying diapers ahead of time, looking for them on sale, and looking for bulk discounts.

We estimate at 10 diapers a day we will need 300 a month, and will use about 700 to 900 before we go up to the next size. That’s Yuge!

We can afford it because we live simply, and do not have a boat payment or a cabin in the mountains to pay for.

Ghetto people could easily afford diapers for their ghetto excretions if they did not have crack payments or malt liquor to pay for.

Ultimately this program just allows them to spend their money on something else, like rims.
