Which shouldn't concern most of you with babies and toddlers unless there are older siblings in the house. In that case, head this way for some sanity-saving advice. In any other case, continue on with your normal eat-poop-play-sleep routine.

But wait --make a mental note -- as soon as all the hustle and bustle of school supply shopping has died down in your area, it may be time for all of you who want to save a buck to spring into action, according to a tip from Alexandra:

"All of your suggestions for a diaper bag on a budget are great! I found my best diaper bag "backpack" at Target right after the school supplies were put on clearance. It is an Army style backpack that was bought with the intention of being used by my husband as a diaper bag. I received two name brand diaper bags but neither have compared to my $4 Target backpack. It is machine washable, huge, and has three large pockets on the outside of the bag, and one large pocket inside. It has a hook on it to hang in bathrooms. I would recommend moms on a budget check out backpacks on clearance. You can find very versatile and stylish backpacks that can be used as a diaper bag."
