When Texas had its back-to-school tax-free weekend, there was one thing that I knew we needed. Lots of diapers. We hadn't announced it to the world yet, but we knew we were expecting twins which means we would be going through lots and lots of diapers.
We ended up spending about $300 on diapers that weekend (so we saved about $24 in taxes plus I had about $25 worth of coupons - I am always of the opinion that if it is something you know you need and not just want then spending money to save money is always smart). We got about 3-4 months worth for Jacob. But for the twins we came away with only about a month's worth. When Jacob was newborn, he went through about 10-12 diapers a day, so we are guessing that a box of 84 newborn diapers will only last us about 4 days.We got 4 boxes of newborn diapers, 4 boxes of size 1, and a thing of 2's and 3's in addition to all the size 4's we got for Jacob.
We know we have lots more diapers to buy in addition to other things like a second high chair, second pack and play, triple stroller, second infant car seat. There's probably more. Maybe I should make a list.

Ouch - $300, and there's so much more to come. I agree though, that it's worth it to spend a lot if you can save a lot. We stock up on cereals, snacks, diapers, etc when they are all on sale, because they will always get used.
Congrats you guys on the twins!! That's awesome! Jacob is going to be a great big brother and I can't think of a better home for two new little ones to arrive at! We love and miss your family and hope we will be following in yall's footsteps again soon! ;)
