We did our room with all new stuff. We bought a crib at Big Lots, a changing tabkle at Sears and a rocker at Babies R Us. The rocker was the most expensive ($300, but we had a few gift cards). The crib was about $80 and the changing table $100! Then I probably spent another $100 on 'stuff': sheet, crib skirt, wall hanging, etc. So, all in all, for a brand new room with no hand me dowsn, it cost us about $600! I did not think that was too bad.

Now formula, my little one is on the Sam's brand. A can lasts us about 10 days and costs $20. So, $60 per month. Diapers, probably about $50-60 a month also. My suggestion, if babe does not have stomach or digestive problems, try and switch to generic. Sam's is exactly the same at Enfamil! Not sure about food, we are not there yet, but I hope to make a lot of mine to save money.
