How much money have I saved by BFing and not giving any formula ?

Wondered how much I have saved, BF DD for nearly 2 years, still feeding DS at 6 months and plan to get to 12 months. Never used bottles, expressing machine a handful to times. I wonder how much I have saved in formula during this time? I'm fantasising about my lingerie allowance once I burn my nursing bras?

The thing about factoring the costs of bras is that bottlefeeding mums still need to buy bras.

Poor mums can still get free formula although I believe that poor breastfeeding mums can buy fruit. However I am not sure about this.

The biggest cost of breastfeeding is the inablity to work. Yes, I know there are someone who go to work full time and express, but I take half an hour to express 1oz.
