This means you will need to set aside from $75-$125 a month just for disposable diapers. If you intend to feed your baby formula rather than breast milk, you can add another $100 a month to your budget for formula. you can expect to spend anywhere from $100 a week to more than $800 a week for the care of a newborn.
Pay the $36.00.

To be fair, ghoastgirl was not bitching about her increased, costs, in fact she mentioned her personal costs went down.
But yeah, I can't imagine cutting back on bc to save money. But if you don't have the money, and have to choose between non-vital meds and food and books (as I had to in college), well...
I can't believe in Americal that all birth control can't be completely funded...grrr!
