Money saving tips from parents to parents – From second hand baby goods to free baby coupons


Are you also worried about saving money? But you don’t know what to do about it. You are a cash strapped mum or dad and you are struggling to manage your weekly budget.

Here are some useful money saving tips from parents who are in the same boat, you can read information about second hand baby goods, free baby coupons and much more.

  • Second hand baby clothes

I know that there are beautiful baby clothes out there, and out little precious “angel” looks beautiful in it but believe me, you don’t have to buy everything that the catalogues try to sell you. Your baby looks as beautiful in a second hand baby clothes as in the new one. You can always find beautiful second-hand baby clothes on the internet (i.e. Ebay) or ask your friends and family. I am sure they will help you out because most of the families with children have one or two baby clothes in almost unused condition.

Supermarkets sell also good quality baby clothes for a reasonable price. Don't waste money when your baby boy or girl will grow out of clothes faster than they can wear them out.

Be innovative, start to exchange baby clothes in your neighbourhood, you can place a notice at you local shop or antenatal clinic (I don’t think they will mind) where you ask for unwanted baby clothes, baby equipment.


  • Disposable nappies vs. cloth nappies

Our mothers and grandmas used to use smart, eco-friendly cloth nappies or cotton nappies. We somehow forgot about them! When you consider that cloth nappies – or you can also call them reusable nappies - are good for the environment. They are definitely better for your wallet and most importantly the best choice for your baby there's really no argument.

Of course when you travel it is easier to use disposable nappies but we all know when we have a newborn baby we don’t travel that much and we are at home a lot.

So I think you know who won this match?

  • Free baby coupons, free baby samples

Take always advantage of all the free baby coupons, free baby samples and baby food coupons. Most of the free stuff is generally free samples of well known baby products. There are loads of website that will offer you great free baby coupons and free baby samples. Check them out and I am sure you can get your hands on some amazing free stuff.

Consider these tips when you buy baby clothes, baby equipments or nappies next time. These tips will definitely save you money because we all know that every penny counts.
