Baby leggings are super easy to DIY from knee high socks if you have a hard time finding patterns you like. They're mostly just for the adorable factor, but we will also use them for warmth while doing "bare butt" potty training with a regular shirt.
Just wanted to share a couple of the things I got that I only paid shipping on. So far I have breast pads and baby leggings. I have two sets of each pattern on the breast pads; I'm washing them today but they seem to be thick and soft, so hopefully they won't be irritating on the chaffed nipples I'm expecting in the near future. The offer for baby leggings is only for 5 pairs, but I liked 6 and the 6th pair was only $2 because I had already ordered 5. The packaging came with a ton of coupons for things like udder covers and books; I found a blog with the offers at https://serendipityandspice.com/free-stuff-new-moms/
I'm waiting on the diapers, will update when they arrive. I do know that I'll have to cancel a recurring subscription once it arrives so I'm not charged $75/monthly.
I just ordered the baby leggings, too! Thanks for the tip. @RoseShadow873, you just select 5 pairs that you want and then enter the code "SAS15" at checkout.
If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you can create a registry, make a $10 purchase from it and then opt for a welcome box. My welcome box came with a bunch of samples including small bottle of prenatal vitamins, an infant bottle, full package of wipes (we're using with DD) among other things. That's all I've gotten as far as freebies.
I just created a registry on Amazon what do I have to do to get the welcome box?

You have to do that jumpstart thing, have a ten dollar purchase made from the registry (you can do it yourself) and then you can "order" the box.

I went to BRU over the weekend to purchase our crib mattress and in the BRU sales add there was a coupon for a free Dr. Brown's bottle and pacifier with $15 purchase. I was buying a crib skirt too so they let me divide the transactions and use the coupon twice so I got two free bottles/pacifiers and they're adorable because they're the V-day edition. I wasn't planning on using Dr. Brown's because they really seem like a huge PITA to clean but for free I'll give them a shot. They also came with a little cleaning brush.
This Amazon review trader thing sounds great! There's a baby carrier for $8 on there.
Although I suppose I probably can't really review much baby stuff until the baby is here lol. Browsing around on this site is fun though lol
All you need to do is one review to be bumped to the next category of reviewer, which allows you to apply for more reviews at once. So you can apply to review the carrier, receive it, and put your dog or cat in it... Or borrow a friend's baby for a few minutes for the sake of a review! All you need to do is squeeze out a paragraph and you get a great deal.

yeah that's what I was thinking of doing! I have a friend who said they have a used carrier to give me, so I'm going to see if I can get that in the next couple days and then if it's not any good I might get that $8 one
When I got the goodie bags from Buy Buy Baby and Target we got a coupon off $25 off of $50 or more for The Honest Co. We finally got to users one of them at Target. We got all this (a bit over $50) for about $6. We used other gift cards from previous purchases and the red card. Each of these items averaged about $10.
Can't wait for Buy Buy Baby. Same coupon and you can use other 20% off and a $5 coupon that also came in their goodie bag. Never been so excited about coupons!
I got the baby leggings and breast pads in the mail today and I was surprised at how big everything seems. Are breast pads really one size? I don't know if I will have big enough boobs for these things. And the baby leggings look big enough to fit my legs, so what size/age baby are they for???

Your boobs will definitely grow. Mine are also still quite small, but they'll definitely grow when your milk comes in. Also, more surface area=more absorption if you spring a leak. The baby leggings I got will probably fit this one around 6 months, I'm guessing. I don't imagine I'd want them quite as tight as my own leggings, but I'd be worried if they could fit my thunder thighs. Either your legs are much more slender than mine or your leggings are stretched out.

Yeah haha, I don't think they would fit my thighs probably, but it looks like they would fit my lower legs for sure. I guess I thought they would fit smaller babies and I could use them right away. I think one pair might be a little stretched out because it's longer than the others but only like an inch. I have no idea how large baby legs get and when so thank you for the answer.

I think it depends on the kid...I have a 9-year-old niece who still wears elastic-waisted pants because she's just so skinny, but one nephew in particular had Michelin man rolls until he was two. His thigh rolls had rolls and it was adorable.
The baby legs can be worn for a while. You can used them over their entire legs and then when their thighs get too fat, use them on lower legs and arms.
I REALLY want to order those baby leggings (I've visited the site like 5 times already) but each time end up convincing myself to hold off until the baby gets here and we know the sex. There are too many gender specific leggings!
Just saw that target is giving a $30 gift card with the purchase of 2 bulk packs of pampers or up & up diapers thru Saturday. I also got a target registry flyer in the mail with a coupon to get a $20 gift card for starting a new registry.
There was a post in here earlier by @AmadorRose that has a link to the nursing pillow, baby leggings, breast pads, etc. Apparently if you leave the pillow in your cart over night and give them your phone number, they send you and offer for lower shipping costs. It went from $14.99 to $11.99 this morning.

I feel like I signed up for the simlac and enfamil clubs very early on but haven't gotten anything yet (except a shitton of emails). Maybe they wait til your edd to start mailing coupons and samples?
I got an email that apparently you can get 3 free pairs of something called "ruffle buns" from rufflebuns.com, which looks like the same company as the baby leggings. They look like they are just for girl babies though. The code is VDAY16.
