Part of the difficulty of cloth diapering is the cost. Cloth diapering does save money in the long run, but the initial cost of getting a stash can run between $150 (prefolds and covers) and $500 (25 All in Ones @ $20 each) depending on the type of cloth diapers you are purchasing. I have found a way though the you can either add to your stash or start a stash for FREE!
Sounds too good to be true right?
Well here is this month's free fluff! I got 4 medium Best Bottoms inserts, 1 Sustainable Baby Overnight Bamboo Fitted, and 2 Nickis Diaper Covers. Pretty cool right?
Now that I have your attention, let me show you how YOU can fed your stash for FREE!
Giveaways
There are hundreds of blog contest running every week and some of them have giveaways for cloth diapers. Many exclusive prints or new versions of cloth diapers can be won this way. There are typically many entrants, but I have been successful winning a few diapers and accessories this way. When I have nothing else to do or am lying in bed nursing a baby I enter a few of these contests a week. Some blogs that list weekly cloth diaper giveaways are:

Now if you happen to be part of BabyCenter, they typically have a gift card giveaway every month for each of their birth boards. I recently won an $25 gift card for just commenting on a post.
There are also a few cloth diaper stores that run weekly or monthly cloth diaper giveaways such as:
Reviews
Occasionally mom review websites will give away coupon codes for free products in exchange for a review of the product. I just recently discovered Real Mom's Review Club and I am super excited to see if I can snag a free bamboo cloth diaper when they come out in July!

Craigslist
This is one I hesitated to mention, but I have seen several mom's giving away their stashes on Craigslist. You can score some diapers this way, but always remember to be safe when meeting sellers.

Grocery Apps
This is my favorite way to get cloth diapers by far! So in essence there are some companies that offer cash back in the form of a gift card, check, or PayPal deposit if you purchase select items at the grocery store and then take a picture of your receipt and submit it via the app. Each week I earn a few dollars using the following three apps that I have downloaded on my phone. I don't change my grocery list at all unless I can score a free item using a coupon code.

Ibotta offers the most opportunity for rebates of all three of these apps. They offer rebates by grocery store and there are always several generic offers for items such as milk, pasta, orange juice, and fruit. You can also score big by inviting friends ($5 for each friend after they redeem their first offer) and team goals that can get you money as your team reaches certain rebate offers.
Checkout 51 offers at least one generic rebate each week and rebates are issued via check once your balance reaches at least $20.
Shopmium offers rebates on higher end and organic products via a PayPal deposit each time a qualifying purchase and receipt are submitted. They also offer a $2 referral bonus for each person that signs up using your referral code and the friend gets a free chocolate bar! Join my team using the following referral code: YAMMGFTL
