What to Buy New vs Second-Hand
Certain baby products should always be purchased new for safety reasons including car seats, cribs and sleep surfaces. Clothing, toys, bouncers, swings and most nursery furniture are perfectly safe to source second-hand at substantial savings.
Baby Registry Discounts
Creating a baby registry at major retailers unlocks completion discounts of 10-15% off remaining registry items in the weeks before your due date. Amazon Baby Registry provides a welcome box of product samples and a completion discount on unfulfilled items.
Formula and Nappy Subscriptions
Subscribe and Save on Amazon delivers 5-15% off formula, nappies, wipes and other consumables. Combining brand coupons with subscribe discounts creates compound savings on the highest ongoing cost category of baby care products.
Facebook Buy Nothing Groups
Local Facebook Buy Nothing groups regularly list baby items in excellent condition given away completely free as children outgrow them rapidly. Baby swings, bouncers and clothing in like-new condition appear regularly and cost absolutely nothing.
