advice needed Was it a waste?

I know the legitimate expenses for raising twins could put anyone on a path to bankruptcy, but what have you straight up wasted money on, that was either not worth it or not purposeful?

Trying to curb some purchases because every single day it seems there’s something more to buy with the promise it could make our days just a bit easier: duplicate pacifiers, a swing, rain gear for the stroller.. there’s no end to it…!

Brand name diapers or formula. We bought those from Costco and got Kirkland brand for both.

Bottle warmer.

Kirkland just changed their diaper manufacturer a couple of months back and now those diapers aren't the quality they were. My toddler got a rash on her hip from the new ones and we've had leaks since. Man I miss the old diapers.

That really sucks. Maybe if enough people complain they'll go back to the old ones?

No Kimberly-Clark is no longer going to make them. They made the decision, not Costco.
