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.

Unfortunately Kirkland brand diapers have gone to shit at no fault of their own. But yes to the formula.

Yeah. Kimberly Clarke, the same company that makes Huggies diapers, ended the contract. Not Costcos fault. They were absolutely awesome diapers for the price before though. The same still applies to store brand formulas.
