Shoppers: What Have You Bought?

BBColt78 · December 2013

::Bumping away my toddler's entire nap time:::

I'm always mad at myself and feel weird when I buy this early but I do it. I bought a new City Versa on Amazon like two weeks ago (hangs head in shame) for $270. And then today I just scored a practically brand new Snugabunny RnP from a local mom for $35. Her kid hated it, so a score for me.

Have you bought anything?

helloblueeyes · December 2013

Diapers and this.

DH said it's weird but i totally love it.

I know that our families will probably want to buy a lot of stuff and we don't have tons of room so i'm trying so hard to hold off right now.

TRS48 · December 2013

I've been wanting to buy so many things I see here & there on sale but DH wants us to wait until we're well into the second trimester. I'm so glad I married someone to calm my antsy ways!

lindslalala · December 2013

I bought a couple white kimono tops and an orange A&A blanket, a few cute hats too. I'm still deciding on a double stroller, but that will likely be my next purchase.

Ylvelill · December 2013

Not a thing

although the first thing we are going to buy is a car!

priadean · December 2013

some cute honest company diapers.... I think I might start buying cloth diapers soon too.

emy730 · December 2013

The only thing I've bought is a onesie from a craft show a few weeks ago.

BBColt78 · December 2013

@helloblueeyes That little animal is hilarious!

@lindslalala You cannot ever have enough Aden and Anais. Have you tried their bamboo stuff yet? DD loves. We may have A&A sheets, issies, swaddles and dream blankets. I like to shop

pfeilele · December 2013

I bought a set of gender neutral baby boden onesies. But that's it. I also picked up a free infant seat for the trade in event. Not sure what I'll end up getting but it can't hurt to have 25 percent off.

I was feeling ballsy and bought a rock n play during Amazon's lightening deals. It was like half off. Haven't been able to bring myself to buy anything else.

That's a great way to put it. . . ballsy. That's how I was feeling. It's just some of these deals are so hard to pass up. That's why I got my RnP too

Myanswer true · December 2013

I have refrained since actually finding out I was pregnant. I figure I'll wait til my BFF and I go through her stuff and see what I still need, plus see if Sprout is going to be a boy or a girl. However, back when Sprout was just a hunch/possible case of the stomach flu, I bought the most adorable tiger sleeper and hat set, because that's the mascot of the school I teach in.

SimpleComplexity · December 2013

A couple of onesies. A package of the full body onesies with the feet in them and a zipper (can't remember what they're called). I'll probably pick up a case of either diapers or wipes tonight.

I have my eye on a dream blanket if LO ends up being a girl. The sheets are darling too! I'm hoping for a girl just to have an excuse to go crazy shopping for her...harder to justify a shopping spree to DH if we have another boy

I was just on Amazon and they are doing a big baby sale thing, buy $250 of qualifying items, get $50 in credit (to spend on certain qualifying items).

Thankfully it runs till end of April! Also it has a ton of A&A stuff.

BW1088 · December 2013

Not a thing yet! For some reason I just don't feel the urge.

I think that'll change once we know if this LO is another girl or not. If it is, I'll have fun shopping for more pretty things for her. If not, I'll be surfing Etsy for those darling little pageboy hats and bowties.

Edit: Actually, I have purchased something (which I just remembered). I grabbed 2 big bottles of Baby Magic the other day. I love that stuff! It smells like Heaven, I'm pretty sure. O:-)

cakebatter27 · December 2013

Diaper bag and onesie (it was my reveal to my sister)

DH's grandpa passed down the kid's rocking chair that goes to the first born son in a family. DH's mother was first so we were next in line. It hasn't been used in 70 some years!

If Sprout turns out to be a boy, he's gonna be living in suspenders and bowties. And tiny hats.

OH! I didn't think about suspenders! ;;) Darling!!!

Watch out! The Amazon special you have to buy by the end of January and then the credit is good until the end of April!

Thanks!!

Totally did not read the fine print. Looks like mamas going on a shopping spree then. Lol.

JMSbaby2014 · December 2013

We haven't bought anything mostly because I haven't taken the time to research anything yet and have no clue what I need. Well I take that back we have bought one thing - DH and I were at an antique store over the weekend and we saw this child sized rocking chair and DH wanted it - I thought it was over priced but I also thought it was cute that he really wanted to get it so we got it

hgtvmom · December 2013

I have picked up a couple of things - a nursing cover for the cost of shipping only and am working on my cloth diaper stash - since our first u/s I have purchased 2 per month. I need to step that up some though :-)

beff12 · December 2013

DH gave me a little hat/sock set with my college logo on it! I thought it was such a thoughtful gift

I haven't bought anything personally yet, although he did inform me of Amazon's sale...may have to check that out!

allardr · January 2014

I'm new to Amazon Prime & Amazon Mom so I searched open box diapers and bought some for LO#2 other than that nothing. I'm trying more to make a list because I know I don't need much so I need a list so I stick to it.

So far this is what I got:

1) Another screen to go with our Monitor so there is one in both kids rooms

2) Another booster seat

3) Double Stroller (possibly)

*If it's a boy we'll need lots of clothes

MrsKStone · January 2014

Yes!! Traded in my car for a brand new SUV.....4x4 mommy mobile and I love it (Dodge Journey)!!

Also started buying diapers (as I am doing cloth), and a baby bullet as it was on clearance for 30!

Hmm what else? OH I bought a 70 year old beautiful change table that my sister will refinish to match my beautiful crib tht was gifted to me.

I do plan to stock up with Costco size boxes of wipes - every time I go get groceries I'll grab a box.

abchittam · January 2014

I ran across a super deal on the perfect double stroller today so I got it! It was an online item from target and they marked it down to 66% of original cost because someone had returned it to our local store. It was EXACTLY what we were needing in a double and it fits the car seat that I purchased a couple months ago for just $15! Super stoked about my find!

I have also picked up a box of diapers, but that is it. We are on a tight budget so I don't want to splurge too much until we know gender.

We have a community consignment sale end of February/beginning of March which is where I will purchase most of our items. We should be finding out the sex around that time. I will also sale several things that DS has outgrown at that time to help counteract the costs.

You will love Amazon mom. Open box diapers are a secret. . . shhhhhh!

TG07 · January 2014

I bought some cloth diapers when they were on sale. That is about it though

MstoMrstoMom851214 · January 2014

I've bought a few things, but only if they were a really good deal...I'm a bargain shopper!

My parents and husband did buy a few baby things for me for Christmas too...it's pretty cute how excited they are!!

zellatrix · January 2014

My boss gave me an Amazon gift card so I splurged on a Petunia Picklebottom diaper bag I've been eyeing. Other than that, nothing. I have a wish list started on Amazon but we kept everything we had from my son so if it is a boy, we need very little. If it's a girl, I'm selling all the boy clothes to pay for girl clothes. Need a new car seat too. DS is 6 so his expired.

V1981 · January 2014

I haven't really bought anything but... For Christmas my dad got us a Formula Pro. It's like a keurig for bottles. So excited to use it!

carolinecutie · January 2014

I haven't bought a thing yet!

TBH I'm not really sure what I will need, as this is my first pregnancy.

I'm most excited about buying clothes, but want to wait to find out gender.

My dad said I should wait and see what gets bought for me and then get whatever else I need! He said I'll end up with like 40 newborn outfits and none for 3-6 months, haha!

jennifermathews88 · January 2014

We bought a giraffe toy the day we had our u/s. Other than that nothing, If it is a boy we won't need much so we are waiting to find out before we buy anything else.

Morgieloo · January 2014

We have only bought two adorable stuffed animals on super clearance at pier one (hubby had to have them) and last week we went a little crazy and got a nice wooden sign if it's a boy for the nursery from TJ maxx. We both loved it and knew it would be gone before we knew gender. Other than that I've been too skittish! Will feel better next week after I'm 12 weeks. Here is sign.. Excuse pillows in background!

gatorlej · January 2014

I saw a sale on Ingrid & Isabel so I went ahead and bought a Bellaband (figured that would be one of the most important pieces of my wardrobe ahead…), a maternity camisole, and a maternity 3/4-sleeve shirt that will be great for me at work when I get huge. I definitely felt "ballsy" buying a few maternity items at 9 weeks, but I couldn't pass up a sale!!!

dobbyisfree · January 2014

I bought a bunch of clothes for me last weekend, because my work pants didnt fit anymore and I desperately needed a new bra. DH bought a Bazinga onesie back in September 2 weeks before I even stopped taking my BC haha. My coworker that is the only person I told got us some cute stuff for Christmas (that woman LOVES to shop. She spoils everyone.) I want to start buying diapers soon.

purpleXdandelion · January 2014

I bought my entire nb cloth diaper stash before I was pregnant so that's done.

I also bought the double stroller (City Mini Double) I've been eyeing up since before I was pregnant. It was on clearance for $150 off ($299 total) around Thanksgiving so I snatched it up.

I just bought 2 woven wraps for nb snuggles and so I'm hands-free.

And a set of 5 gender neutral onesies 70% off at Target.

acciovino · January 2014

I've been stocking up on little things for about a year now. Anytime I can get a deal on A&A blankets, I snatch them up.

I also bought 1 cloth diaper.

We're moving in May so I don't want to buy any big ticket items until we move.

That is a great deal on a CM Double! Good job!

tealowl · January 2014

I've been drooling over a PPB diaper bag and a Storksak one on ebay. They're both used but still $285/$175 each. Ugh, I want.
