Our budget for TWINS (aged 15 months)

Walmart
$120/mo for diapers and wipes (usually this is 4 boxes of diapers)
$200 for food (gerber, rice, oatmeal) (usually this is done in one trip and I am buying about 45 of each- meat-fruit-vegetables-pasta-breakfast, plus 4-5 boxes of rice and 4-5 boxes of oatmeal. It is usually obvious I have twins when at the checkout (the checkout clerks know me by now).

This does work...
when on formula ebay saved us a bundle, now on milk and that we go thru about 2-3 gallons per week with 3 of the 4 people in house drinking milk daily.

Clothes- lots of hand me downs and generous grandparents. If we spend $30/month on clothes its probably because the buffalo bills stuff I bought got too small or we needed easter outfits or similar.
