Shopping sales for the essentials!
| Mon, 07-18-2011 - 9:11am |
So..Ive been kind of slacking on buying a few things that I know are a must for a new baby...ex. Carseat..LOL..Well while I was out at Meijer last night I happened to come across the exact carseat I origionally wanted and it was on sale half off..So I snatched it up..can't beat $45 dollars on a $90 carseat..and then while walking around Kmart looking at books I happend to wander once again to the baby section and there on sale again for half price..is the Pack 'n' Play I wanted..So I got that too..Now All I need really is my crib and I'll be all set..Im supposed to be picking up one from a family friend but Since my mom passed away its been hard getting motivated to do anything..Anyone else get their stuff on super sale?

Most of the stuff we have was given to us.

We have most of what we need, thankfully! DD's old carseat doesnt expire until Sept. 2012
We have the big ticket items from DD - carseat, crib, etc.
I bought some clothes for the baby with a 30% off discount at Kohls (plus the sale it was already on!) which was awesome... but part of me wishes I hadn't done so BECAUSE my sister got me a WHOLE pile of baby girl stuff for FREE! 2 giant boxes of clothes (ranging from preemie to 2T), a bouncer, a high chair (not the greatest condition, we may or may not use it), a mini-pack n play, a toy that has multiple places for baby to drop in a ball and watch it fall out (DD loves it! LOL), a plastic outdoor swingset, a tall full sized swing, a bouncer seat (so now we have 2.... lol) and I think that's about it....
Before we got all that FREE stuff, my local Once Upon a Child was having a $1 clearance sale and I ended up getting a baptism gown for $3.50, an Easter dress for $1 and various other outfits for $1 each all in great condition! Score!
I'm slightly overwhelmed with how much CRAP we have now!!!!
The only thing I really want that I don't have yet that I want to watch out for sales on, is a portable swing!!! I don't really like the full size one we got, but let's face it, it was FREE and will probably only be used for a short period of time! LOL

Caroline,
We have a once upon a child here too and I think all the clothes I purchased came from there all with the origional store tags on them..and at 3 dollars and outfit..can't beat it..I think the only thing I paid close to full price for was her diapers..im doing cloth this time and had to order them from a CD company..but those werent too bad either as Im going old fashioned and using prefolds..I do still need to pick up blankets for her in girly colors..I have some unisex ones I kept from when I had my boys but she needs a few of her own I suppose..
