Looking for a double revolution and interested to hear where or how people found the best deals. Tia!

I don't have one, but this website (see link below) is how I find most of my baby related deals. I keep it bookmarked on Google Reader so I get updates when certain things are super cheap. Here's a post about how to find a good deal on a BOB.

If you plan to run with it, a lot of people like the Baby Jogger Summit Double instead, and it is on AlbeeBaby for $200 off right now. It is $449 instead of the usual $649. The Revolution Duallie is $509 on there right now with free shipping.

Also, I would keep an eye on Craigslist. I've known many people who've gotten BOB and other jogging strollers in good condition for a lot less than you'd buy them new.

They have been on sale at Babies R us for the last few weeks. Most of the registry completion discounts exclude the BOB

I've heard people getting them for 20% off at REI anniversary sale. It just ended.

This, but you have to be a member ($20 for a lifetime membership). If you are, you get a few 20% off coupons throughout the year.

For me, my DH works at REI, so we'll be using his discount - but that's not really helpful, sorry! I'm just excited about it because I just found out we can use the discount for a Bob.

Amazon has BOBs on sale now and with my 10% completion discount, I got one this weekend for $309 with no tax and free shipping. I thought it was a pretty good deal as used 4 year old BOBs are going for around $250 - 300 on my local craigslist.

We bought the previous year's model when the new models came out. Amazon had a lightning deal with the previous year's strollers, plus I had free shipping. From there, I just used a couple of gift cards to help make it more manageable.

Right after I purchased it and started using it, my mom found one at a garage sale for $25. It wasn't exactly the model I wanted, but would have been great. She bought it to use at her house. So definitely look at consignment stores, garage sales, and Craigslist. They are such fantastic quality that they really hold up well.

I saved 20% on my Bob through an REI sale.

I've been a member of this store for about a decade. It costs like $20 for a lifetime membership but then you get 20% off coupons a few times per year AND they guarentee everything they sell 100%. So if you buy and try it and don't like it they'll take it back. And the staff are always super helpful and knowledgable.

They can do this because of the way their business is structured. Any used and returned items are sold an a bi-annual garage sale.
