Adding up the savings

Average cost of a box of dryer sheets: $4 a box
Average cost of swifter wipes: $5 a box
Average cost for a box of size 5 diapers: $48
Average cost of bottled water: $6 per case 0f 32

Total cost per month: $63 per month
Total cost per year: $756 per year

Tennis balls instead of dryer sheets: $0 cost and reusable
Vinegar instead of swifter wipes: $6 a year
Cloth diapers instead of disposables: start up $200 and reusable
Drinking Tap water instead of bottled: free (covered by our HOA)

Total savings per month: $45.84
Total savings per year: $550.08

The cloth diapers are reusable so I by them once and that's it. Pretty cool to see the savings. Over two years here are the savings: $1500 Hooray! I will try to find some more money saving ideas and post their worth soon. These worked for us. Hopefully this will help out some of you too.
