With the cost of living crisis, today I’m sharing my top baby bargains, to help you save money. Firstly, there’s no need to need to buy everything new – look for your NCT Nearly New sale and Google in your area for local mummy meet-ups and swaps, including local Facebook pages for new mums.
Also, check out boot fairs for pre-loved bargains, and remember you can always repaint furniture and that second-hand plastic item can easily be disinfected. – Also sign up for Boots Baby Club and Emma’s Diary for freebies. Here are some of my favorite deals in the shops right now for new mums.
1.£6.50 for 10 packs of baby wipes – you always need these to hand, so it’s good to stock up!
2. I would suggest Aldi nappies, with my daughter I and found them to be good value & good quality
3. To save a few pennies on clothing, as they grow so fast – why not try F&F at Tesco or Matalan, both have amazing baby clothes at great prices
4. Head to your local B&M store to get Johnson’s baby lotion for just £1 –it’s a market leader and is an amazing product
