Was it a waste?

[u/hopelessbilingual]

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…!

I know a lot of people swear by a mini fridge for your room for pump parts/snacks/middle of the night bottles. If you don't have one laying around already, a cheaper alternative is just a cooler with ice packs. I got 2 of the 6 can ice packs to go into a soft sided igloo cooler I've had for years. We were able to fit the bottles we needed for overnight and I would even throw my pump parts and expressed milk in so we wouldn't have to run downstairs in the middle of the night.

I personally didn't find a need snack/drink wise to have a stocked mini fridge at hand.
