I have to say that with being pregnant comes new reason to shop for the best deals.  One day you have everything you need and then the next you need to buy a million things, so much that it becomes extremely over whelming.

Every time I make a trip to the city to my new favourite baby store I go numb!  I just walk around aimlessly looking at things and my intentions fly out the window.  Suddenly I am paralyzed by the amount of baby stuff there is!  “What the hell is it that I need?”  Every time I go in with a plan and walk out luckily with nothing.  I will not fall into this materialistic baby trap!  “But I do need to get these things done?”

My solution has been online…and it works wonders!  Now I can browse through my favourite retail stores, which is more than half the fun of shopping anyway, and take a look at some things that I may need and then go home and research it.  If you decide on a few items than let the fun begin!!  Start shopping online.

Start by checking out sites like ebay.com and kijiji.com.  You never know what kind of luck you will have there.  Sometimes the prices with shipping do not compete but if you catch an auction at the right time you may just luck out like I did a couple of days ago…

I won a new Summer Day and Night digital video colour baby monitor for $116.00 CAN including shipping on Ebay!  The cheapest price I’ve been able to find for the same model is $190.00 not including taxes!  Great deal.

If those sites do not work than start googling baby stores in other provinces and see what they have to offer.  If you are Canadian, purchasing items in another province means NO PST!  Awesome deal.  But to make it even better, try to find multiple items that you need from the same store because often stores will waive the shipping fees when you spend over 100$.  So free shipping and no PST means BIG savings!

I bought my stroller online from Alberta, my cloth diapers by Bum Genius from Ontario, my video monitor from the USA and my diaper bags and diaper sprayer from Ontario!  All way within my budget and it all comes to my door!

There’s nothing like finding a good deal online, I promise you!
