<p>If there is a way to spend money frivolously, rest assured that I will find it.&#0160; Which is why I am so excited that I came up with a way to NOT SPEND MONEY!&#0160; And it&#39;s related to poop, so I can finally call this blog a mommy blog with a straight face.</p>

<p>When I was pregnant, we purchased a cute <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005V6C8/qid=1144265731/sr=2-3/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_3/102-6851052-7320154?v=glance&amp;s=baby">Diaper Dekor</a> to collect our soon-to-be-born son&#39;s precious poop.&#0160; My mother thought buying it was, to put it gently, stupid.&#0160; &quot;Why don&#39;t you just put the dirty diapers in plastic shopping bags?&quot;&#0160; she asked sensibly.&#0160; &quot;All those pails do is stink up your house, and you have a million shopping bags under the kitchen sink anyways.&#0160; Just wrap up each diaper in a grocery bag and you&#39;re done.&quot;</p>

<p>Ha!&#0160; My silly mother!&#0160; What does she know?</p>

<p>The fancy pail with the expensive liners worked like a charm until about a month ago.&#0160; Never mind that The Boy&#39;s room always had a faint...aroma, but he wasn&#39;t complaining, so whatever.&#0160; About month ago, The Boy discovered that if he stuck his hand down the pail he would pull out a diaper.&#0160; And if he was lucky, it would be a stinky poopy diaper!&#0160; Good times!</p>

<p>So the Diaper Dekor was moved to the hallway OUTSIDE his room.&#0160; Meaning NEXT to our room.&#0160; Meaning that all of a sudden, the first smell to greet me in the morning was that of diapers left stewing overnight.&#0160; Gaaaagh - I mean, &#39;morning!</p>

<p>Then 3 days ago the little interior flap thingy broke, and the stinky old diapers WOULD BE CONTAINED NO MORE.&#0160; My entire house smelled like <em>that house</em> - you know the one, the one where even the couch smells like a 3 day-old diaper.&#0160; The horror!</p>

<p>So as I was considering buying ANOTHER Dekor (told you I can spend like a champ) a light bulb (a decidedly dim one, but still) went off in my head:&#0160; <em>Why not wrap each diaper in one of the gazillions plastic bags I&#39;ve been collecting under the kitchen sink?&#0160; Why, I could twist the bag and DOUBLE wrap the diaper - just like a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001NE8OA/qid=1144265731/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/102-6851052-7320154?v=glance&amp;s=baby">Diaper Genie</a>!&#0160; </em></p>

<p>Brilliant!&#0160; Now my house smells like...something else (I&#39;ve got to find out what that smell is.)</p>

<p>I feel so clever because it&#39;s like I&#39;m sticking it to the Baby Products Industry.&#0160; Take that, Diaper Dekor!&#0160; You can keep your stinking $30 refills.</p>

<p>I&#39;m so proud of my frugality I went off to type all about it.&#0160; Just please don&#39;t tell my mother.&#0160;
