Like MM said the biggest killer is daycare if you both choose to work FT or lost salary if one of you quits work. We are not there yet, but I think after-school care during young years at school can be pricey as well.

I'm due in Aug. and we've been buying boxes of diapers whenever I came across a deal of less than 13-15 cents per diaper. I'll wait and see how breastfeeding goes before buying formula. I also registered for coupons on Similac and Enfamil a month ago, so maybe I'll get some coups soon.

We bought clothes/toys from garage sales or Goodwill. But I think you have to be lucky with garage sales and therefore I quit cruising them due to time, gas and occasional frustrations. I rather check Goodwill and a consignment store before looking for a sale at Target.
