How Do I Get “Baby Bargains for Clothes, Furniture, Toys and More?

Don’t Change Sizes Yet

Note that diaper sizes overlap the recommended weight. It’s tempting to go ahead and buy the next size up because your baby has crossed into the lower range of that new size. It’s almost a point of pride to move your baby into the bigger size. Don’t do it. Keep your baby in the smallest size that fits comfortably. Bigger sizes mean fewer diapers per package means more cost per diaper.

Online Diaper Options

Check http://www.amazon.com, http://www.storkschoice.com, and http://www.diapers4less.com periodically. If you find a sale, sometimes combined with free shipping, you can get a bargain on these that will be cheaper than store purchases.

Warehouse Diaper Discounts

Check Costco and Sam’s Club. Buying bulk packages of diapers, even name brands, are often cheaper than a smaller package of store brand.

Buying Disposable Diapers

Name brands really don’t work better than store brands. But there are differences among brands as to which works best on the shape of your baby. Our sister-in-law swears by Wal-Mart’s White Cloud. We found that Kroger brand diapers worked better than White Cloud for us. Try a couple of different store brands to find what works best. Look at the cost per diaper to see if the larger packages are really cheaper. Usually this is the case with diapers.

Burp Cloths

Cloths made especially for burping are not worth the money. For one thing, not all babies are spitter-uppers. If your baby is or you feel more comfortable…just in case…then buy a pack of cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. Stash in a box for next baby when you are done or recycle as cleaning rags.

Skip the Maternity Lingerie

Special maternity bras and panties are totally unnecessary. Wear your own or purchase bigger sizes of normal lingerie at normal prices. Wait until closer to term to buy nursing bras because your breasts will grow throughout the pregnancy.

If you haven’t yet, now is the time to venture into the world of online bidding. Set up an eBay account and start searching for “lots” of maternity clothes – one auction where another mom has cleaned out her closet and is selling all her maternity clothes. If not abundantly clear, ask the seller what condition the clothes are in and make sure they have high feedback ratings with low complaints. One simple click and a little luck and you can fill your closet with most, if not all, of the maternity clothes you will ever need.

Low Cost Maternity Clothes Bargains

Let’s state the obvious. Check out yard sales, Good Will, thrift shops and department store clearance racks. Search online and ask around. You might be surprised to discover a whole new world of shopping secrets where you can find bargains specifically geared toward maternity. It’s kind of like when you buy a new car all of the sudden you see them everywhere. Once you are pregnant, bargain shops magically appear that you had no idea were in your town. You only wear them a few months so avoid spending a fortune on designer maternity clothes. Plus, all the other women only wear them a few months too so buying them used means almost new any way.

No Cost Maternity Clothes

No cost is your first choice. Talk to all your friends and relatives having babies. Ask if you can borrow, rent, or buy maternity clothes they are storing in boxes. They will likely let you use them for free. We have a couple of big boxes of maternity clothes that have been passed between 3 or 4 women in our church. Most add a few new items when they use them and pass them along when they are done. Initial items on the tags that you buy so you can get all of yours back in the event two people need the clothes at the same time
