Babies are oh-so-cute, but can be oh-so-expensive, especially when you factor in nursery furniture, strollers and the long list of other items little ones need. And don’t forget the diapers, wipes, formula and food! As you prepare for the arrival of your new addition, add a few of our favorite budget-friendly and best-bang-for-your-buck finds to your registry.

9. All Free & Clear Laundry Detergent

Yes, even laundry detergent made the list. While Dreft is a popular option for babies, it doesn’t always work for babies, especially those with eczema or sensitive skin. All Free & Clear is exactly what its name implies: 100 percent free and clear of perfumes and dyes. Comparing Dreft and All Free & Clear from Target, you’ll pay about $0.15/ounce for Dreft and $0.07/ounce for All, when comparing the 150 oz. and 172 oz. sizes.
