Genie Mattress

Hi every one! I’m expecting my first child in early January and I couldn’t be more confused! I need help..?

I don’t know what I need to buy, and I also need help determining how much money I’m going to be spending every week for my newborn. I don’t have any supplies such as a crib, changing table, diaper genie… etc. This was not a planned pregnancy so I wasn’t really able to save up money prior to getting pregnant so my fiance and I have been saving up since we found out. I want to know a) Is target a good place to get a crib, changing station, bottles & all the other essentials, and what else will I need? b) what kind of crib, crib mattress, bedding … I’m so confused. I want the best for my child but I’m not rolling in dough so I need the most practical, while still good quality items. Please help! Thanks!
Also I need to know how much I will spend weekly on formula, diapers, wipes … I’m willing to buy in bulk, but what is a rough estimate?

I bought my crib from Walmart, the crib and the mattress there, I just got the cheapest mattress, totaled $215. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5064488&selected_variation_0=5064488&qty_0=1&upc=0006585712961&registry_id=86181778063&shopFor=true

A changing table is not necessary, I’m just going to do it on my floor or my bed or anything with a changing pad down. Target also has multi use disposable pads that you can use for it.
A diaper genie is totally unnecessary. Do diapers really need their own garbage?
Walmart is a lot cheaper for a lot of necessities, including bottles.
I bought my waterproof mattress cover and crib sheets (2 of them) from Target as they are a little better quality and look nicer and still cheap. You don’t need any other bedding. In fact its a SIDS risk.
You need a car seat and stroller-suggest a travel system. Mine is from BabiesRUs.com-its very nice quality, is $200 total including shipping and handling. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2864796
