Brand name nappies are slightly more expensive, so we've tried alternate ones which are just as good and cheaper.
The two most expensive things i have come across is proper UK cadbury's chocolate and tinnys are expensive .
I believe the way to reduce the cost is shop around, look for the specials in the local flyers,try alternatives and ask an ozzy if they now where to get it cheaper lol.

Try BiLo this week: 12 rolls of Quilton 3 ply (The GOOD STUFF) for $5.98, that's what ? £2.65 ??

Why don't you do what we used to do in the 'olden' days - use old newspaper. The Saturday Age has enough supplements to last the week. The Domain usually does us through until Wednesday (Monday if we have visitors). You can then kill two birds with one stone - educating yourself with the news and then recycle it!
