Thick prefold cloth diapers and diaper covers with snaps. If you are interested I can come up with some names. Also diaper liners as they get bigger.

Various tearless baby shampoos aren't really tearless. It doesn't hurt near as much but it still hurts.

Avent Isis mechanical breast pump. Make sure the bottles are dry at the seal when you cap them or they leak sometimes.

Sunshine Kids Radian car seat. It's for babies up through toddlers, mine still fits my 5 year old and should be the last seat I buy (they have a seat requirement in MO that kids must be in a booster or seat until age 7 or 80# or 4'9" tall). They make a Radian 80 that's the exact same size but made to hold heavier children, overkill for my scrawny adorable son.
A lot of people prefer the punkin seats that you can take out, but I couldn't see spending the money for the length of time the baby can use it. For me it was no big deal.

Beechnut baby food because there wasn't any added sugar.

Huggies natural care diaper wipes in the big bulk boxes. I cut them in half and stored them in the single plastic box I had, just had to open the lid to get them out.

Madden Caravan backpack...they're called something else now, but it's the same pack. My 5 year old still rides in it.



I went cheaper some places, more expensive in others. Sometimes because of brand recognition, sometimes I felt it was the better product. Cloth diapers were great for me, the substantial savings were secondary. I could change him very often to keep him dry without worrying about the cost and as he got older he could feel when he was wet and got to the point where he'd ask to be changed. Breast feeding was what I wanted to do, the savings were a bonus. The crib and furniture were second-hand as was the gliding chair. As far as the glider goes, a rocker would have been a better motion.
