PSA: Steals & Deals!

15681011

Re: PSA: Steals & Deals!

  • Not so much of a particular deal, but a PSA to be on the lookout for the pop-up consignment shops.  Just Between Friends is one that is nation-wide.  There's another that's state-specific near me called Munchkin Markets.  They are like a Once Upon a Child store, but only one weekend, twice per year per location.  I live in a relatively major city, and between the two companies there is a sale somewhere in the metro ~3 weekends a month.  I've founds some super deals (an almost-new play gym that retails for $80, that I paid $15; a new-with-tags SkipHop Duo bag also for $15; four A&A blankets for $8; also a ton of clothes for cheap, like Gap or Carters for $2-3 each).  Best selection on the first day, best prices on the last day.  They have clothes, toys, small furniture, decor, books, bedding/blankets, feeding and bathing supplies, carriers, strollers, pack-n-plays... usually going from infant thru pre-school-ish.  The sellers get to set their own prices, with some recommended guidelines, so there is some variety in the deals you find.

    So I don't know if I'm just an idiot or everyone knows this, but I was on Target's website looking at diapers since they have their $25 gift card with $100 baby purchase this week, and they have economy size diapers boxes for CHEAP!

    DD is in 5s and a box of 124 diapers is $21.79 and the same box on Amazon was $51.53! The super box is only 62 diapers on sale for 19.49 so for a couple more bucks you get double the diapers. They just don't sell this size in store. 

    ETA: plus I don't have to go to the store!
  • @LuLiLaEv The Pampers swaddlers size 5 124 shows up as $17.43 after S&S for me  on Amazon.  You don't get a gift card though. 

    I had a hard time getting up to $100 for the gift card because I already bought so many diapers last month.
  • @Twinkiedoll Weird! I didn't see that price, although to be honest, I never do S&S for diapers cause I like my "free" Target gift cards to spend! Haha
    I was struggling to figure out what diaper sizes to buy too cause my stockpile is so big! I never thought I'd be so excited about having so many diapers...


  • @LuLiLaEv I have 6 boxes in various sizes at the house with another on the way.  DH does not want me to stockpile anymore, especially since this is our first kid and we have no concept of how many diapers of each size we need.  I was stockpiling based on what people have suggested here and some other blog posts I found. 

  • Just FYI, Walmart is getting in on the Pampers Swaddlers deals:


  • I went into my online offers on Bed Bath & Beyond, and there is an in-store coupon for $25 off a $125 purchase, expires 5/15. They take these at Buy Buy Baby, and potentially Babies R Us as a competitor coupon, but that probably depends on the propensity of the cashier.
    Anyway, not a great deal for a big pricey item (then you would use a regular 20% off), but if you have a bunch of smaller items to buy, there are fewer coupons to mess with!

    Friends and Family 20% off is also at Kohls this weekend, starting tomorrow.

    A general heads up that the page Thrifty Littles on Facebook announces a lot of great deals of car seats, baby gear, and toys. I started following the page a few months ago and have been impressed!

  • If any of you do Honest diapers...

    there is a $25 off $50 coupon in the target free registry giveaway bag (some are $10 off $40 but 2 out of 3 I saw were $25/50)
    two boxes of diapers is 25.99x2 so 51.98. You get $25 off with the coupon and right now they're giving a $10 gift card for buying two boxes of Honest diapers so it's like getting 2 boxes for $16.98. Boxes are like 60-80 diapers depending on the size. 

    There is also a $4 off pampers wipes (over 192 count) in the registry bag plus another 50c off on cartwheel right now. Wipes are $5.99 minus $4.50 with the coupons so 192 wipes for $1.49.

    The Tula website has a 15% off code this weekend (MOMLOVE), usable on anything on their site including the new Free-to-Grow carrier (that adjusts for 7-45lb without an infant insert).  They've also been doing daily giveaways on their fb.

    Thanks @Twinkiedoll! Snagged some. 
  • Aeroflow had different breastfeeding / pump accessories on sale on their site, most ~20% off. Not sure when this ends (I had seen thru Mother's Day, but it's still up today).

  • Amazon has (for Amazon Prime Members w/ Amazon Family): 128-Count Pampers Swaddlers Diapers (Size N) for $11.51 when you checkout via Subscribe & Save.

    @Twinkiedoll okay, queen amazon prime!!! I managed to get this deal, thank you, but my only issue is my S&S date they choose is May 23rd. I added these yesterday but noticed it won't be included in May's shipment?! Yesterday was only the 14th...and I was trying to bundle 5 S&S items for additional savings for May's shipment. So frustrating. I seem to never get this to work out?! Can I make it be included in May's somehow, or is May finished even though the deliver date isn't next week? LOL Most importantly, will I still get the deal if it doesn't be ship until June 23rd?

    For me, the last day to modify, add, delete S&S items for that month's shipment is nine days before the chosen S&S delivery date.  So if your date is May 23, I'm guessing that deadline has passed for you as well and anything you add now will go into a June shipment.

    To your last question: yes.  You will still get the deal.  Your first shipment in a subscription is always the price at the time you place the order.  In contrast, for any subsequent shipments (unless you cancel), you will be charged whatever price it is at the time it ships.

    ETA to tag @LoveLee85
  • @twinkledoll once again you are amazing. Thank you for always responding to my messages! I am slowly getting the hang of this!!!!! I'm determined to S&S 5 items next month for the additional savings. 
  • I'm kind of annoyed at amazon now, because suddenly my registry doesn't say anything about diaper rewards anymore?? Anyone know what's going on? I was "eligible" or whatever last week, as I had a screenshot of the pregnancy pillow I bought...

  • FYI some Gilligan and O'Malley nursing tanks and chemises are on clearance at target online. Decent chemise/nightgown at $7.48 and a few tanks at $5-7. I plan to live in the nightgowns soooo I bought like 12. 
  • Does anyone know what Targets return policy is like for online? 
    Im desperate to get some nursing tanks, and 6 dollars is SUPER cheap for them, but Ive never tried that kind on. If I order a whole bunch in different sizes will it be relatively easy to return them and get my money back? My level of desire to get in a car and drive is about -100 right now

    target is super easy with returns. As long as you have the receipt and tags on, you are fine.

  • I've never tried to return something in the mail but I buy a lot of online stuff and return it in person and it's never a problem. Like no questions asked. For the record I bought several of the tanks as well and they seem pretty true to size. I got larges because I have gigantic boobs.
  • I really hope the small ends up fitting, because if I need the medium or large in those tanks, I'm going to end up with three in the same color. I bet a ton of people are ordering them, and they aren't available in those sizes in other colors lol.

    I needed Large for my first 6 weeks post-partum or I would get clogged ducts. After that period, I could wear Medium. And after about 6 months, I went out and bought Small. 
  • Babies R Us has a deal - spend $300, get a certain Pack N Play for free. 

    Lillebaby carriers is running a trade in event - send them any old carrier and they will send you a 40% coupon for anything on their site. 

    Tula just added a bunch to their clearance, ~30% off.

    Where did you find that for Babies R Us? I'm already ordering over $300 dollars so that would be great 

    EDIT: Nevermind, I just found it, and it's only in store!!! The stuff I'm buying from them isn't in my store   :|
