Diapers, even disposable, haven't run as much as I thought it would. Things like desitin and whatever else...a friend will most likely arrange a baby shower and your first wave of all that stuff will most likely be bought for you.
Clothes? Just buy them as cheap as possible. They never get used enough to wear out. I think we have 3rd gen stuff for our kiddo and they still look pretty much brand new.
Craigslist can be your friend if you start shopping now and can cherry pick needed furniture, etc...

This.
You can do something as easy as letting everyone know to bring different sized diapers to your baby shower.
The lucky thing about having an older daughter is that we get to re-use a lot of her clothes with the twins. Mind you....twins are more expensive because you end up buying two of everything.
**** my life.
