I found it very helpful! I tried to stick with A reviews, but occasionally went with lower reviews if they were highly recommended on Lucies List or Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-989425 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 08:36:36 +0000 wheres_c 989425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm I judged it as being "old tech" and just used lucies list and here! Maybe my judgement was too harsh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-989054 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 22:39:28 +0000 Ginabean3 989054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it in conjunction with Amazon like the ladies above. I also asked some girlfriends who recently had babies about certain products. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988974 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:37:01 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 988974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a great resource, but I also cross-checked with Amazon. I don't think I had a "rule" about registering for things that weren't as highly recommended, but did gravitate mostly toward things that were, anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988973 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:34:34 +0000 mrsbookworm 988973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it for all the big purchases. I brought it with me to BuyBuyBaby while I was registering. I tried to stick with A ratings when they were affordable but would also consider B+ when the other options were too expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988549 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 16:26:29 +0000 Boheme 988549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the book, and I also loved the Lucie's List registry cheat sheet and emails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988517 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:45:47 +0000 mrsjazz 988517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: If it was within our budget, yes. Like @autumnlove: I have some in the middle, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988513 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:35:48 +0000 autumnlove 988513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it! I used the high and middle recommendations the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988504 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:28:36 +0000 MrsH 988504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: did you stick with A ratings? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988498 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:22:34 +0000 mrsjazz 988498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I thought it was the best resource. I used Baby Bargains and a combination of Amazon reviews. I used it for the big items like our crib, stroller, car seat, and nursery furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-bargains-book-1#post-988497 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 15:19:57 +0000 MrsH 988497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you find the baby bargains book helpful?</p> <p>I'm about a quarter of the way though and I'm feeling very overwhelmed (FTM) and not sure how much stock I should be putting in this book that was highly recommended to us.</p> <p>How did you decide what to register for/ buy for the nursery? For those that used the book, did you stick with only A ratings? </p>
