When bulk is $40, you're just making some really, really poor life decisions if you both have a kid, and can't find a way to save that much money in a 30 day window.

- ada1981 9y agoThe article did mention she has a rare condition meaning she might never be able to get pregnant and so this was may have been her only opportunity, so she choose it. I don't think she was complaining here, rather sharing vulnerably the truth of what life is like for her.
- ansible 9y agoYou are making other assumptions here too, like having a Costco or Sam's Club nearby to buy the giant packs of diapers. Low income people often don't have those nearby.
- tw04 9y agoYou can buy diapers in bulk from amazon, Target, Walmart, honest company (more expensive), etc. Costco and sams club have almost nothing to do with the conversation other than being one of many options.
