  • We hit up carter's a few weekends ago and got a TON of clearance clothes/sleepers and a diaper bag for me for around $50. 

    I also got their cribs (originally $199.99) for about $50 a piece.  They are mini's but that was a GREAT score.

  • I got (2) slipcovered gliders for $100 a piece off c-list. They are in perfect condition, and a really cute beachy green color.

    The best part...we bought them from a lady who lived in the most charming bungalow complete with an amazing garden -- we sat chatting on her back porch for about a half hour. She was so sweet :)

    Wow, I am impressed!

    I think my best deal was our stroller. We got a new, in the box (never opened) britax b-ready for 300 instead of $499.

    I got a few xmas shirts for the little guy for under $1 at the carter's outlet as well.

    I love sales. This post makes me happy!

  • DH and I went to BRU to peek at some stuff, and saw a dresser on sale. It was actually a desk with a nightstand that slides under (where the chair would go), so you use the two pieces together as a dresser/changing table in the beginning, and then separate them as the kid grows.

    They were available separately, but both MAJORLY on sale. The two together would normally cost around $650. Between the sale price and my $100 gift card (thanks to my baby shower!), I paid $164 for the two pieces.

    Once they came in, we were unpacking them at home, and noticed that the leg on the nightstand was broken. We took it back to have a new one ordered for us. The cashier said we paid $50 for the nightstand on sale, and it was now marked $150. For our trouble with the broken leg, she gave me a gift card with $23 on it. So, I actually paid $37 for the nightstand after that!

    I was pretty excited that we happened upon that fantastic deal at just the right time, because it appears the price went back to normal within a week of us getting it!

  • I love a good deal too! It is a tie between my Coach diaper bag that I got in an online outlet  for $188 (compared to $498) and my stroller that I ordered from Zulily for $289 (compared to $469)

    I can't wait to see what else I can save on LOL

    Same here ! My mom and I always make a game out of who can find the best deals. Clearance racks, coupons and online promo codes are my best friends Smile

  • Diapers!

    I started ordering them months ago from Amazon (Prime member and Subscribe and Save) and I compare prices everywhere we go (even online) and I am very happy with our purchases.

  • My Ergo sport which I got on Babysteals.com for, I think, $55. They retail for about $115.

    My neighbor was giving away baby stuff, most of it was junk, but I found a BabyBjorn bouncer in there. It was covered in cat hair, but other than that, I don't think it had been used. I vacuumed it thoroughly, clorox'd all the hard surfaces and its as good as new now. They retail for about $140.

  • Oh I have scored lots of good deals!

    At a garage sale I hit up a lady who also had twin boys born in Oct last year.  I took all of her clothes 65 pieces total..  (every one was Gymboree or Gap) as well as a Bundle Me, Boppy with 2 covers, 28 bibs, 9 recieving blankets, a handful of hats and an FP Aquarium bouncer ....   all for $30!!!   I was so stoked!

    I got my double BJCS for $499 no tax and free shipping  vs $660.

    I got a practically new rainforest jumperoo for $20 (vs $75+ new)

    Ive been paying about $0.12/diaper which makes me happy.

    OH and my nursery furniture!!!  How could i forget??  I got the Baby Cache Essentials from BRU.. normally about $1500 for 2 cribs and 2 dressers for $719!

      How?    I had a coupon taking $300 off 3 items..  then I got 10% off the cribs using the multiples discount AND i got 10% off the entire order for opening a credit card with them taking my total down to about $1035...  THEN the cribs kept not coming in on time and they gave us a $316 giftcard (another 30% off entire order) making my $1500 cribs cost us $719ish!!    (i think there was some tax #s i messed up there)

    I'm sooo jealous of your garage sale deal!! Everyone around here is selling their used items at like, 10% off retail.

  • Maternity clothes at several consignment sales/stores, and a crib set pn clearance at BRU.
  • I've gotten a really nice Dutailier Glider and ottoman and an Angelcare motion/sound monitor for FREE on freecycle (google that now!).

    I've also gotten 2 boppies, a bouncy, a PNP and a huge bag of clothes for $22.  Other friends of friends have been really generous and given me other things like baby clothes and stuff like that.

    I also puchased 3 Graco Lauren cribs for $262 total a long time ago. 

    I PPH a good deal.

  • Not sure if this counts, but I guess mine would be maternity clothes. I've only had to actually buy one pair of shorts. The rest of my clothes have been borrowed from a friend. Also, last winter I lost about 30lbs and now instead of buying maternity shorts, my "fat" shorts from last summer fit again! hehe. They're big everywhere but the waist, but hey it works. :) Hopefully I'll make it through the last bit of summer and then just have to buy a few things for fall/winter.

    We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
