All of these are on our registry, but I went ahead and got them. If someone buys for us, I'll return and use the credit toward something else. Amount in parenthesis is the price at BRU / Diapers.com where we registered.

Summer Infant Video Monitor $113 ($179)

Sleep Sheep $18 ($25)

Rainforest Bouncer $35 ($60)

Jacques the Peacock $10 ($13)

Thats a good idea. I have wanted to buy somethings that are on my registry because I saw them on sale. I think I like your plan better, way better than hoping it goes on sale again after my showers.

Yeah, we have a few bigger ticket items on our registry and I don't expect to receive them all. So if someone happens to buy us, say, the monitor, I'll just return it to BRU and use the $ toward a breast pump or car seat. Or diapers, if all else fails!

Those are some great prices. I think you get another 15% off if you sign up for amazon mom (free).

That's only on Subscribe & Save (for diapers and such).

Wow. That made me feel really bad for registering for a $69.99 Baby Einstein gym that's selling for only $53 on Amazon. I would rather put a note on the Babies R Us registry directing people to buy it off Amazon or just buy it myself and take it off the registry.

How do you get the 15% off. I signed up for an account and have been looking at a few things but didn't see anything about the 15%?!

That's just for diapers

How did you discover that these were on sale? I find it weird how one day a certain item is on sale and I never am aware of these deals until you bumpies are nice enough to share!

hope you get gift receipts if you get duplicates. right after my shower, in 2007, BRU changed their return policy and you needed a receipt to return, regardless if it was on your registry.

edit: why don't you just take it off your registry?

The swing I want is 127 on amazon instead of the 160 at BRU. Sooo tempting. What if I don't get a gift receipt though...??? Risky!

Make sure you check with BRU about their return policy. I haven't been going there a lot in the past two years and was surprised at how much they had changed their return policy from when I had my DD in 2007.

Also, it's possible the gift givers will use a coupon or buy the item from BRU on sale, thereby making the return on your investment minimal.

My BRU said I have 90 days from due date to return anything that was purchased from my registry. As long as it was on the registry. I don't really care about "return on investment". I am having four (maybe five) showers and I want to have enough items on the registry so people have things to choose from when shopping. I hate when I go to shop for a shower and there's nothing in the registry.

I returned several items back to BRU without receipts back in the Spring 2009 with DS. I hadn't heard they changed their return policy.

In fact, for my showers most people forgot or didn't include gift receipts, but had clearly purchased things from my registry and it was noted in their BRU system...

This is what I did for our swing! I put a note, telling people that it was $50 cheaper on Amazon.com and my mom bought it from Amazon instead!
