I was so lucky to get lot's gift cards and cash. I only really bought clothes, diapers, and formula. I am so lucky for that. When I did have to buy our convertible car seat that was expensive
I wouldn't worry about the wipe and bottle warmer though. Wipes get dried out fast in the warmer, and for bottles, you could use a microwave or boil water. Don't fall for the fancy stuff either.
the total cost for most everything i need is $475, thats bottles, car seat, clothes, soap, diaper pail, diapers, wipes, wipe and bottle warmer, mittens, hats,
it could be so much woese. think about living in HI. i went there for a week last summer. UNLEADED gas was around $4.50!!! and diesel?? well i dont wanna scare ya too much so TW! High Price!
