My husband wants to make the crib himself although that scares me a bit. 😜</p> <p>I've heard a lot of the Facebook garage sale / or gear swap pages. Those are great I'm sure, if you can find one in your area. </p> <p>If you know of anything location specific feel free to post.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-as-much-as-possible-for-new-baby#post-2426665 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:38:29 +0000 Littlebit7 2426665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I would had waited to purchase a lot of gear and purchased it pre-loved instead. We have a great local FB buy sell trade and I've gotten SO much stuff on average 75% off. Toys, swings, strollers, clothes, bouncers. All in great shape.<br /> I also lumped my registry together onto Amazon. People could purchase if they wanted but I got bonkers deals with my completion discount and amazons great prices and return policies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-as-much-as-possible-for-new-baby#post-2426635 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:22:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2426635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the best way is to really narrow down your list for what you really need and how much you are willing to spend BEFORE shopping. If you start looking at nursery ideas and fall in love with a crib only to realize it's expensive and doesn't go on sale you are more likely to break the bank. I researched and found things like cribs often get scratched so going with something simple like the Graco was an easy budget saver. </p> <p>We also shopped lots of consignment sales. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-as-much-as-possible-for-new-baby#post-2426567 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 17:59:53 +0000 jhd 2426567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used Hip2Save to get info on the best diaper deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-as-much-as-possible-for-new-baby#post-2426420 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:12:09 +0000 M4mi 2426420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Penny Hoarder site looks like there are a lot of coupons and ways to get freebies.. Any other ideas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/saving-as-much-as-possible-for-new-baby#post-2426406 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:01:05 +0000 M4mi 2426406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really early on in my 2nd pregnancy (only 4 weeks), my first is 6yo, and I already started looking into coupons and deals etc. We will be going from two incomes to one so that I can stay home with my little one(s). With my first I considered it a jinx to buy anything in the first trimester, but for some reason this time around, I feel it's a jinx not to.. Anyway, I'm hoping to bring to you a place where we can share coupons and deals, as well as all the miscellaneous things that go through our "hormonal" minds while pregnant and while trying to get pregnant! P.s. I love Shoppingg. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-target-coupons#post-1215937 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:02:34 +0000 Bookish 1215937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soo as an update, and because I'm so proud of myself (haha)..</p> <p>I returned some gift outfits, and with the return credit, another g/c that was given to me, 4 coupons, and the cartwheel app...</p> <p>I paid a total of 30$ for 270 diapers (2 packs Huggies Little Movers) and 2 outfits! PLUS, I got a 15$ Target gift card back! </p> <p>WOOOOOO!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-target-coupons#post-1212164 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:11:43 +0000 photojane 1212164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! They're really great about taking coupons. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-target-coupons#post-1212156 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:09:51 +0000 Raindrop 1212156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I think you can use all of them! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-target-coupons#post-1212153 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 20:08:02 +0000 Bookish 1212153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: cool! I thought I had read that somewhere but I couldn't remember...I've never tried to combine that many discounts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-target-coupons#post-1212129 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:53:10 +0000 swedishfish 1212129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe you can use all three! Target definitely takes a manufacturers coupon and a Target coupon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-target-coupons#post-1212119 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:46:48 +0000 Bookish 1212119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so I'm a coupon newbie, so bear with me. </p> <p>Right now target has the big boxes of Huggies on sale for 35$, and if you buy two you get a 15$ gift card.</p> <p>I also have:<br /> -5$ off of 50$ target coupon<br /> -3$ off huggies manufacturer coupon<br /> -5% off huggies cartwheel.</p> <p>Can I use all three on top of the gift card promotion? Will target take a manufacture coupon and their own? Like I said...kinda new to all this, and I didn't want to get to the checkout and look dumb :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pottery-barn-10-off-coupon#post-958463 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:50:35 +0000 twinmama 958463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work at a pb store, and we'd often give this to people without a physical coupon, just as a 'new mover' discount if they knew to ask for it.</p> <p>But if you are making a major purchase I really recommend the credit card too. You get great rewards on purchases and I always get $25 off $50 coupons in the mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pottery-barn-10-off-coupon#post-958447 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:46:13 +0000 ckenney 958447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi! We just moved and are looking to buy a new couch from Pottery Barn. I was hoping to receive a PB 10% off coupon in the mail, but haven't yet. Does anyone happen to have one that you are not going to use? Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-buy-buy-baby-takes-coupons-on-bumgenius-cloth-diapers#post-765774 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:29:11 +0000 yin 765774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very smart! My BBB only carries the 4.0 diapers, and I just bought a bunch from Cotton Babies seconds sale. I'll have to keep that in mind if I need more diapers.</p> <p>P.S. If you need another coupon, I can forward you my email for a 20% off coupon. You can also text to get coupons as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-buy-buy-baby-takes-coupons-on-bumgenius-cloth-diapers#post-765726 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:12:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 765726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every once in a while you get a 20% off your entire purchase coupon too-- keep an eye out for that! I just got one for Bed bath and Beyond 20% off my entire purchase because I changed my address with them for the catalogs when I moved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-buy-buy-baby-takes-coupons-on-bumgenius-cloth-diapers#post-765721 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:11:09 +0000 birdofafeather 765721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, that's awesome! thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-buy-buy-baby-takes-coupons-on-bumgenius-cloth-diapers#post-765702 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:04:40 +0000 heffalump 765702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's a great deal! I don't currently need diapers and my BBB is 45 minutes away.... but worth the drive if I ever do need more diapers. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-buy-buy-baby-takes-coupons-on-bumgenius-cloth-diapers#post-765698 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:01:31 +0000 Anagram 765698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, people have talked about it before....but it's true---cloth diapers don't count as the "diapers" exclusion at BBB, so you can use your 20% off and 5$ off coupons on BumGenius (and probably other brands too, unless they are one of the specificially listed brands that don't do coupons).</p> <p>So I just started my stash with 2 Freetimes for $16 each (two 20% coupons). Since they take the Bed Bath and Beyond coupons as well, I used two of those.</p> <p>My mom is sending me her coupons to use, too...so I'm hoping to get at least 1/2 our diapers new but for $16 or $15 each, which is a good savings.</p> <p>My friends bought me 9 already (yayyyy), so I'm thinking I'll only need another 8-10 coupons and I'll be done with my stash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-coupons#post-563114 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:24:29 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 563114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wrote on your wall;hope they're still available! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/enfamil-coupons#post-562831 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:28:51 +0000 LaineysMom 562831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have several Enfamil manufacturer's coupons ($4 off and $5 off). I have no use for them, but don't want them to go to waste.

I know they often have furniture, nursery, and bedding sales. But I'm wanting curtains, hooded towels, and some toys. They don't go through eBates. The only discount I can foresee is the 10% registry completion?<br /> Just wondering if any of you savvy-bargain shopping moms would have other ideas on how to save more $ at PBK! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/coupon-exchange#post-329513 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:30:11 +0000 pinkcupcake 329513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a good idea!

Those albums are an awesome idea!! </p>
