Free / Bargain Sites

There are some bargain baby sites that post deals everyday and I have been watching them for things that I need. Here are the ones I have been watching:

Mama Bargains
Baby Steals
Baby Half Off
Kids Woot
Zulily

Some have 2 deals a day, some have one.  Sometimes they are on useless things like baby shoes but its worth it to watch for the things like cloth diapers and strollers.

There are some free things I have done as well. Most are sampler types of things but still good!

Nestle Baby Program
Free Baby Samples Canada

Kijiji

Love Kijiji! About to go get a brand new organic infant cloth diapering kit for $160! Woohoo. Saving money. Especially since the woman selling it received it as a gift and did not use any of it. Super excited!


I will keep perusing kijiji for more items, hopefully I can get a lot of stuff this way!! 

So far, here is the best blog/info I have found on cloth diapering:

Everyone keeps saying I will change my mind about cloth diapering but I don't think so. Tommy is on board, my mom cloth diapered and lots of people do it.  It really isn't within my realm of values to even consider disposable diapers. All the time spent doing laundry would be spent going out to buy more disposables anyway.
