Quick Tip - Diaper Genie Inserts

The Diaper Genie is a wonderful invention but of course its a never ending expense. And they really gouge you on the price of inserts! They range anywhere from $6-9 per ring and if you have more then one in diapers at a time it can really add up! I havent bought inserts in months now because I discovered a do-it-yourself economical way!
How To:
You will need at least 1 insert for this. Save the blue ring when you are finished the refill. Take a regular household black garbage bag and feed it through the ring and fold the top around the ring. You shouldnt be able to see the ring at all and the bag will be hanging inside. Place into diaper genie and use as you would normally.

The downside? When the bag is full you do have to replace the whole bag...no cut and tie feature.

The upside? A bag of 100 No Name garbage bags is less then $10 and you dont have to look at all the dirty diapers when emptying them like you do with the see-through blue bags.

I wish I had figured this out sooner but better late then never I suppose!

Hopefully this can save someone a bit of money off their household shopping list! :)
