Diaper bag as big as Be Prepared?

I REALLY want the Ju Ju Be Be Prepared bag but there is no way I can spend that kind of money ($180).  I'm looking on craigs list and ebay for used but nothing has come up except for one that is going for a lot of money.  I also am constantly checking Zulily as they have been known to have great sales on Ju Ju Be but I haven't seen anything.  I'm running out of time.  Does anyone know of a bag for less money that is similar in size?  The Be Prepared is 18.5" x 14" x 6.5".  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

    I just bought the Ju Ju Be Be Prepared in Safari Stripes from Amazon for 135.00. I love the pattern and the bag. In my opinion it is totally worth the money. After all the research that I did on diaper bags. The anti microbial lining, the inside and outside pockets are great. You can fit so much in it.

    You could also try and get a 20% off coupon for Buy Buy Baby as they also sell the Be Prepared bag online.

    I also looked at the Hop Skip Duo Double Deluxe is a pretty big bag and is only 66 on amazon. However there is not pockets inside the bag.

    I saw that bag on Amazon and didn't get it.  I wasn't a fan of the look and I was hoping I could find it cheaper on Ebay.  However I'm seeing one on ebay that is used and is almost the same price!!  

    I was looking at the Skip Hop Duo and it just doesn't look as user friendly.  It doesn't look like it opens up much or that the pockets work well. 

    I would love to spend the money, but I think my husband would die :)

    I have gone through 3 "Cheap" diaper bags in the last 18 months so after I told my DH how much we spent on the cheap ones and how I read that the Ju Ju Be bags hold up really well he gave me the go a head. I also do not buy things like this very often, he tends to buy more expensive things then I do so I had that going for me too. Have you tried Craigslist?

    I have but haven't found the Be Prepared.  I am looking in a lot of different cities too.  I'm such a planner that I hate not having it already even though I have 2 months left :)

    Try the JJ Cole Mode Diaper bag.  It looks similar to the Ju Ju Be and you can get it online or at your local stores for as low as $36.  I bought this for my sister months ago because she hated the Vera Bradley bag I bought her for $100!...and she uses it now with my niece and loves it.  It fits everything and has tons of pockets and slots.  I purchased a Vera Bradley bag for my own diaper bag.  It isn't as big or roomy as the JJ Cole, but I still love the cloth feel of it.  I also got the Skip Hop for a gift, but ended up returning it.  Terrible material and not nearly enough room or pockets for me.
