Alright, this is sort of a loose definition of a TotBargain, but I liked the bargain enough that I bought it for myself- so it must be good!  There’s nothing easier than throwing on a light cotton dress in the summer, and perhaps nothing so figure-friendly as the classic maxi dress.  In fact, one of the four 5/5 star reviews references it as a great maternity dress!  Comfort…check.  Style…check.  Price…it doesn’t get any better.  Target’s daily deal is a buy-one-get-one-free on these versatile dresses (they’re available in multiple colors), AND you can use coupon code TCJ09UAB for another 10% off (on the very last checkout page), AND it’s free shipping.  So you’d get two mama-friendly dresses for less than the price of one.  My total was about $18 for two $22 dresses!  The deal is only valid today, 6/7, so think fast!

Because nursing a baby usually occurs during a period of …let’s call it, rapid body changes… nursing Mamas are often relegated to “making do” with whatever happens to fit.  I say, there’s enough challenges during this time!  Get yourself some comfy pajamas!  And stay in them all day.  From what I hear of the Majamas brand, this should be easy to do.  And even easier when they’re 40% off!  (The price, not the PJs!)  Diapers.com has a few colors on sale for just $36.99, quite a discount from the original $62!  Might I also mention that this is a perfect gift for a new mommy (who rarely has time to think about her own comfort!)

A little love for our preggo friends!  There’s a bevy of great bargains in Target’s maternity clearance section, but my personal favorite is this adorable wool coat.  Because no one wants to shell out for a coat you’ll wear a handful of times.  If you’re lucky, I suppose.   If you live in Chicago you may actually want to invest.  I’m just sayin’.  It’s cold here.  Anyhow, this beauty is originally $40 (really not that bad to begin with!) but now 65% off and only $14!  Plan ahead and save money!

A little something for the “Mama + 1″s out there!  Just in time for holiday parties- top it off with a gorgeous red pashmina and you’ll be the belle of the ball!  It’s Pea in the Pod quality for half-price- usually $128, grab it now for just $63.99!  No tiring trips to the mall required!

I’m not a big fan of the name, and really didn’t think I was a fan of the concept until PapaBargain placed a perfectly sparkly band on my swollen postpartum finger.  Each time I look at it I remember the overwhelming happiness I felt the day BabyBargain was born.  So you could say I’ve become a fan.  My criteria for a good gift is something like this: 1) timeless, 2) simple, 3) thoughtful, and 4) sparkly.  Oh, and number 5) a great deal.  I love this simple sparkly sapphire ring from ShopNBC (an excellent source for unique jewelry)- originally $195, now $123.09, almost 40% off!  Perfect for a newborn boy’s mommy.  It also comes in yellow sapphire if you’re waiting to be “surprised”!

Our more observant TotBargainers may have already noticed the tiny top link in our Links section- the one to the Baby Earth Gaga deal.  If you haven’t already checked it out, it’s a must-see.  I literally just watched the price fall cent by cent on this Britax Decathalon Convertible car seat from it’s retail of $295 all the way down to $167 before it sold out.  Every hour from 9-5 M-F there’s a new Gaga deal, and as the hour progresses the price drops- possibly down to $0 if no one else is watching!  It’s addictive, but a great way to pick up some good deals!

PS- Sorry so late today, BabyBargain was up late last night!!

Anyone who has been pregnant through a winter will tell you flat out, PLAN AHEAD.  Because when you discover that none of your winter coats fit, you’ll be subject to paying an exorbitant price for the lesser evil of the only two ugly maternity coats you’ll be able to find after an exhausting trip to the crowded holiday mall.  It makes me flush just thinking about it.  Save yourself time, money, and sanity and just pick up this classic Liz Lange from Target for 75% off now.  For $14.98 (from $60!) you really can’t go wrong.  There’s quite a few other Liz Lange items for 75% off, just do a quick search for her name from any page and click on the clearance heading!

First comes the bump!  It’s so hard to find a decent maternity dress and even harder to find one at a decent price.  Destination Maternity has some great bargains, including this little green number.  At half-off, you won’t feel guilty even if you only wear it once!  Snag it for $38.99!
