The Cost of Shit

The cost of shit is growing.

I take Fiber Choice, which costs about $0.12 per tablet. I take four tablets per day, which works out to about $0.48 (not including tax).

Zel takes Metamucil, which costs about $0.07 per dose. He Metas twice a day, which works out to about $0.14 (not including tax or water).

Then there’s the toilet paper and the cost of flushing, but I won’t get into that.

Baby Kaos is currently only taking breast milk. But, he poops like 6 times per day. Not kidding. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but he averages about 6 poops a day.

We get his diapers at Costco, so it works out to about $0.16 per diaper, which works out to be about $1.00 per day (again, not including tax). This is way less expensive than buying diapers at the Evil Empire, which would cost about $2.00 per day.

This only includes poopie diapers. It doesn’t include pee-pee diapers. Our cost is increased to about $1.50 per day if we include pee-pee diapers.
We put Baby Kaos’ poopie diapers into the Diaper Genie which helps to control the smell of the poopie diapers (pee-pee diapers go in the main trash in the kitchen cause they don’t smell, you guys). This, too, costs money because we have to buy refills for the Diaper Genie. The refills cost about $6.00 per container, and the container lasts about two weeks.

However, the Diaper Genie is holding fewer diapers now because Baby Kaos is in a bigger diaper. He weighs over 17 pounds, which is big for a 3-1/2 month old baby. Bigger baby = bigger poopie diapers = less space in the Diaper Genie.
And let’s talk for a second about the taxes that we pay on all of the shit we buy in order to shit. The only thing I’ll say about it is: If you think about it, the government is even taxing you to shit.

Honestly. Don’t they have enough of my money? And, isn’t this why we left England in the first place?
