Cost Efficiency
Let’s do a bit of math here:
Assume:
Daily usage of disposable diapers (DD): 7
pcs
Cost for a piece of DD (Average): RM 0.60
Therefore,
RM 0.60 x 7 pcs =RM 4.20 per day.
Now,
Let see how much you drain off your money
on DD per year:
RM 4.20 x 365 days = RM 1,533
And how much would it be after 2 1/2 years:
RM 1,533 x 2 1/2 years: RM 3,832 for a
baby.
Move on to calculate the cost of cloth
diapers (CD):
Let’s buy the economic CD:
1 CD cost: RM 26
7 CDs costs: RM 182 –spent on a kid for 2 ½
year ?!
I must be kidding right? No, you are wrong.
The figure is correct.
Can you see the difference? ;)
Savings in 3 years:
RM 182 (CD) Vs RM 3,832 = RM 3,650
You still have a lot of saving even if you
can’t resist to get your lil’ ones another packs of charming CDs ;)
Well, you might have a doubt…those CDs can
lasts up to 2 ½ years meh?
Listen here, darlin’..anything can lasts
forever if you take a good care of them.
