If you have a sewing machine or know of somebody that does, you can make your own bunny rugs and bassinet sheets. I picked up material at spotlight which was on special for $1.99 a metre and made most of Jack's bunny rugs and bassinet sheets. By making your own, you can make them in any size you wish and I also personalised the sheets, so when you folded the top one over I had little pictures for Jack to look at. (Not that he was aware of them at that age, but it looked nice!)

I also made quite a lot of clothes, but didn't really find that very cost effective with stores like Big W about!

I also use face washers for his bum, which (of course) are seperate from his general face washers. This cuts down on baby wipe usage.

Cornflour works just as well as curash nappy rash powder, although I only resort to corn flour if I have run out of the curash stuff #-o

I try and buy clothes/toys when there are sales on, even 10% off in Target makes a difference.
