Save Money on Baby Items

Photo Credit: milan6

Raising a baby can be expensive. In fact, a recent survey done by Baby Center suggests that parents will spend $10,000 on their baby in the first year. These expenses include diapering, feeding, clothing and toys, not to mention doctor's visits and childcare costs.

As with all expenses, there are ways to cut down. Here are my favorite tips on saving on baby items:

1. BUY USED
Parents want the very best for their children. There is nothing wrong with that. However, the very best does not have to be the newest! You can find great deals on gently used clothing and baby gear in consignment shops, on E-Bay, Amazon and even on Craigslist. As long as the item you are purchasing meets all safety guidelines (no drop-side cribs, car seat inspection, recalled items) and is in a condition that suits you, there is nothing wrong with buying used. You can easily save 75% on baby gear.  Most baby gear (swings, bouncers, etc. is only really used within a baby's first year, so the depreciation is great, unless you plan to use the gear on multiple children.

2. JOIN REWARDS PROGRAMS
A lot of companies reward loyal customers for buying their products. Pampers Gifts to Grow and Huggies Enjoy the Ride let consumers collect points for buying participating products. The points can then be traded in for various rewards like magazine subscriptions and coupons. Beechnut also has a similar program that rewards consumers that buy baby food and rice cereal with free item coupons. Old Orchard rewards consumers that buy their juice with free products and money saving coupons.

3. REGISTER WITH BRANDS
Baby brands like Gerber, Similac and Enfamil all have baby newsletters. If you register for these newsletters, you will often receive coupons, samples and free items via postal mail and email.

4. SWAP ITEMS
Swapping is the new thing! There are now  a lot of websites that let users swap all kinds of baby good from clothing to toys. Babies outgrow things very fast (especially clothes!) so swapping gently used items you do not need for gently used items you do need is a great way to save money. It may seem weird to put used clothes on your baby, but all of the items are in good condition. Here are my favorite sites:
Swapbabygoods.com
BabyCenter Swap
Thredup.com
Outgrowingin.com

5. GO "ALL NATURAL"
Making your own baby food, breastfeeding and cloth diapering are also great ways to cut down on baby costs.

Buying used items, joining rewards programs, registering with baby brands, swapping items and going "all natural" are ways to make the often costly task of raising a baby less expensive.

To Buy or Not To Buy

To a new and old couponers alike, the thrill of the "hunt and kill" ignites a euphoria that really can't be described. But where do you draw the line? How do you know if a deal is worth pursuing?
If you are not careful, before you know it, your pantry is overflowing with the dry pasta that you got for 10 cents a box when you are on a no-pasta diet! Of course, you can always donate the items, but how do you avoid stocking up on things you will never use? How do you resist the urge to get your hands on every deal?

After all, the purpose of using coupons is to save money - not spend a little bit of money on a lot of things you do not need. A little bit of money on a lot of things can add up quickly!

Here are some guidelines to follow to help you decide if going for the deal is really worth it:

1. ASSESS THE NEED
This seems to be the most obvious . There is nothing better than scanning an ad and realizing that an item you are needing is on sale and you have a coupon that will make it nearly free. But do you really need it? Were you thinking about buying this item before you saw it on sale? Have you used this item in the past couple of months or can you see yourself using it in the next couple of months? If you do not have a direct need for an item, if you can not see yourself using it in the next months to a year then you can probably pass on getting it.

2. IS IT WORTH YOUR TIME - AND GAS?
This may not be so obvious. It is easy to get so caught up in chasing a good deal that you are doing just that - chasing. I have to admit that I have gotten in my car and driven MILES to find a free item. Being honest, I probably spent more money in gas than it would have cost to just pay full price for the item! You also have to take into account your time. Yes, couponing can be timely but is the item you are seeking worth spending an hour or so store-hopping to find it? Your time - and gas - is valuable and should always be considered along with the price of the item you are thinking of buying.

3. PASS ON A SALE
I often have to resist the urge to be the first in line at every sale. Seeing a sale sign can make your heart beat faster with excitement. You have to realize that just because something is on sale, does not mean you have to get it! Also, sales usually come in cycles. For example, over the summer grill seasonings would go on sale and be free with a coupon almost every three weeks. If you miss a sale, there is a great chance that you will catch it at a later time. You do not have to stock up on an item during every sale cycle. It is OK to pass on a sale!

4. LET THE COUPON EXPIRE
Just because you have a coupon for something, does not mean you have to use it! This is the easiest way to over-spend on things you do not need! If you are not going to use a coupon, pass it on to a friend or family member who might be able to use it. You can also send your valid and/or expired coupons to military families. Stores on military bases usually accept expired coupons.

It is easy to get caught up in the thrill of the chase but it is important to assess your need for the item, the value of your time and to realize that you do not have to get every deal. Take this advice and you can minimize making purchases that are unnecessary and avoid stocking up on items you will never use.


Happy Shopping!

FREE Almay Make-Up at Walgreens!

You might want to head to your local Walgreens because they are having a HUGE clearance on Almay cosmetics!
They are also on sale for B1G1 half off.
Pair the clearance and sale with coupons and you can score a great deal!

Here is how my transaction went:

2 Almay Intense IColor Mascara On Clearance for $2.19 (there were only 2 left!)
Use 2 $2/1 Almay Cosmetics from 1/1SS
1 Reese's (to cover the overage) $.99
Total After Coupons: 29 cents!

If your store does not have the clearance you can still get a good deal on the nail polish which was $3.21 regular price at my store (some report it being around $2.69), so about 19-70 cents a bottle after the coupons depending on your store's price.
