Seconding everyone else who suggested cloth diapers. Way cheaper than disposables (I washed them at home in a high efficiency washer.)
What I haven't seen anyone mention yet is wool diaper covers. In the winter, we used these a lot. You have to learn how to take care of them--wash by hand, re-lanolinize occasionally--but they don't need washing that often, and they are super warm if you live in a cold climate. We purchased a bunch of long legged wool covers made of old sweaters lined with felt from someone off Etsy, and my middle daughter essentially lived in them every winter the first two years of her life.
