Plus, its employee owned so you&#39;re doing a lot more for the local economy by shopping at Winco than Wal-mart or Costco.Rebekahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928359611733238127.post-39848479741620937302011-01-18T02:35:27.000-08:002011-01-18T02:35:27.000-08:00I agree, Winco is at least on par(if not cheaper) then the prices at Costco. Because of the bulk purchasing the total bill at Costco is always more then Winco. Costco does have better quality, so it might be a fairer comparison with Roth&#39;s on produce and meats. You might get a better deal on some steaks from Costco over Roth&#39;s, but you have to freeze half of your Costco purchase. I would rather spend a buck or so more and get fresh meats at Roth&#39;s.Salem Manhttp://salemites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928359611733238127.post-25446600983838899962011-01-17T05:13:38.000-08:002011-01-17T05:13:38.000-08:00I find my fuzzibunz are useful, but they don&#39;t save me as much as I hoped. There are several times during growth spurts I just can&#39;t get the right fit and I have to use disposable or give in to leaks and blowouts. I also find my daughter does get rashes even when we change her very often, and the cream issue means putting her in disposables.<br><br>Thus I love my cloth diapers but we still spend 50 a month on disposables.<br><br>I do find the Rumparooz fit better than the fuzzibunz and work better during growth spurts. They also seem more comfortable with less elastic issues. I worry, however, that she will outgrow them before the fuzzibunz.Tazmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928359611733238127.post-60169352658326486712010-06-09T15:27:14.000-07:002010-06-09T15:27:14.000-07:00Angela I appreciate your honesty! It&#39;s nice to hear from another mom who has dealt with what I am going through right now. I like your idea of mother-multitasking :-)SalemMomhttp://www.salemmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928359611733238127.post-56358291436609872112010-06-09T11:25:11.000-07:002010-06-09T11:25:11.000-07:00Sorry to be the one to break the bad news--- sometimes they don&#39;t grow out of it. :(<br>My sons both hated the crib. My first followed your same nap routine for over a year. My solution: I joined a book club. I held him while he napped and read my book at the same time - it was the very start of a lifetime of mother-multitasking.<br><br>We rather quickly moved our babies to a mattress on the floor. I could lay next to the darlings and &#39;roll away&#39; once they were asleep. It worked wonders. Our crib became the laundry hamper. <br><br>Every Mommy has to find her own way, I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll find yours and share it with another Mom down the line. And eventually those sweet boys do sleep &#39;like a baby&#39; - its just that then - they are not.Angelahttp://www.nwkidchaser.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928359611733238127.post-74791558949735814332010-03-15T16:05:56.000-07:002010-03-15T16:05:56.000-07:00Thanks Salem Man!
