Having kids is so expensive

I try to be cheap where I can be, but there's stuff like shoes where quality matters. I bought 2 stride rite shoes, on sale, and spent $50. That's a steal, but it's still pretty expensive for me as a single mom 😭

But I'm also not going to be cheap with something that'll hurt her development.

My baby also wears luxury diapers, because we tried every other brand and she had allergies. Rascall and friends is not super pricey, but still not cheap

I'm also not cheap with her diet. I buy cheap produce, but get plenty of healthy things; berries can be expensive, meat is expensive, etc.

I'm definitely feeling the pain of inflation and also of being a single mom
