My SIL gave me a bag full of "Fuzzi Bunz" cloth diaper hand-me-downs. Now I don't necessarily recommend seeking out used diapers, but if you can get them within family, its a huge money saver.
No more waiting, as of yesterday I am going full throttle, cloth diapers everyday.
Now I am open to the possibility of getting other accessories. I went back to Abby's Lane (the cloth diaper store) just to look around. I'm still waiting until March to get anything else diaper related.
Here is what I found that I want to get in the next few months:
1) 2 Wool Covers ($22-$26 each)
Why? For overnight use. When the cloth diapers leak, it is absorbed by the wool. It does not leak through the wool and it only needs to be washed once a month.
2) 2 Cloth Swim Diapers ($13-$16 each)
Why? Even disposable swim diapers let urine through so they are just as good (I guess I never thought about it, but how could they stop it?). The cloth swim diapers are very thin, very cute, and inexpensive compared to buying swim diapers if you plan on going to the pool daily/frequently.
3) Diaper Sprayer $44.99
Why? Removing Solids (to flush down the toilet). This was recomended by the woman at Abby's Lane. It takes a little work to install, but seems worthwhile if you are serious about cloth diapering. I would not have done it if I had to buy all my cloth diapers because I am doing this to save money. I am also going to wait a little while on this because we are moving soon.
4) Bottom Cleaner $7
Why? For use when we are out of the house. This little sprayer is supposed to make it easier to clean a mess, which is helpful on the go.
In total if I get all of these "extras" it will cost a grand total of roughly $130. Still less than it would have cost to purchase all new cloth diapers.
