If you missed all the crazy in-store toy clearance sales (I think Kohl’s is still going on now!) don’t worry, there will still be plenty of opportunities to restock your gifting stash- like this cute little shape sorter, 52% off at Amazon, just $9.61! No crowds, bundling up, or heavy stroller lifting necessary!
It’s hard to find a quality play kitchen at a good price. Look no further! The Little Tikes Side-by-Side Kitchen is regularly $80 and now 50% off and just $39.99! What a crazy bargain! You’ll be cookin’ up weekend pancakes in no time!
It’s negative 2 outside and yet still I find myself looking for reasons to get out of the house and do something. Indoors, of course. And free, thank you. So the whole Bargain family packed it up and traveled to the big city last week, where we visited three world-class museums for the low, low price of $0 and saved about $120. How? Plenty of family-friendly establishments like these offer free admission once a month (or week,) or in our case, for an entire week. Many of them are sponsored by Target, and you can see their whole list of museums across the country and their free days here. Be sure to also check out the website of the museum you’d like to visit- sometimes the regularly scheduled free days are pretty popular, and going on an “off” free day will get you in crowd-free. It worked for us!
This particular Britax Diplomat pattern has an on-again off-again relationship with sales. It’s on again now, this time at Amazon- for 35% off the list price, just $169.99! That’s still an awesome price for Britax, and the Diplomat model is very highly-reviewed. Keep baby safe and your wallet full! Well, fuller than it would have been.
There’s something so magical about children’s books. The illustrations, the poetic rhyming, the learning, the snuggling… I’m always so overwhelmed with anticipation of how much fun we’ll have reading our new books, I can’t think of an occasion where I was able to limit myself to buying just one! Amazon knows, and has a bevy of children’s books as part of their buy 3, get the 4th free promotion. I highly recommend one of my favs, Peas and Thank You! Find all of the books on sale here!
I adore my Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. I also adore sample sales and charitable giving. Could they all possibly intersect?? You know it! PPB just started their online sample sale and is donating 25% of the proceeds of sales on 1/19 and 1/20 to Haiti relief. You’ll find plenty of bargains, including the Society Satchel (my fav!) as second for $199 (39% off the original $325) or new for $229. These hardly ever go on sale, so get ‘em fast!
Merry Christmas everyone! Mama’s taking a few days off to make a boatload of cookies and enjoy some quality family time. Join me in taking a few days off and enjoying the fruits of all your bargain-hunting labors! We’ll be back the day after Christmas with an excellent post-holiday bargain. Happy Holidays friends!!
There’s hardly a little boy that doesn’t appreciate a good Thomas toy and hardly a little parent that doesn’t appreciate a good bargain on a Thomas toy. The Spin & Fix set is originally $50, and now just $19.99, 60% off!
So I’m still impressed with the quality of the Plan Toys cutting fruits we ordered a few days ago. You may ask, “why did you order it a few days ago and you’re already playing with it- just a few days before Christmas?” Well friends, the answer sadly lies in my inability to deny BabyBargain the satisfaction of opening a cardboard box. Am I setting him up for a lifetime of psychological issues resulting from this instant gratification? Probably. But we’ve had a heck of a time cutting wooden fruit. Anyhow, I was looking to see what else Plan Toys made and stumbled upon this great bargain- the “Miracle Pounding” toy, originally $35, and now just $9.99. Why play with a regular ol’ pounding toy when this miraculous one will deliver them right back to you? Ahh, instant gratification strikes again…
In case you missed the Buy 2, get the 3rd Dr. Seuss book free promotion at Barnes & Noble, Amazon is repeating it! There’s 181 books to choose from. I had no idea Dr. Seuss was so prolific. Big book, little book, what else begins with B?
Hurry, hurry, hurry! The Amazon lightning deal for the highly reviewed VTech Sit to Stand Alphabet Train just started! Regularly $54.99, it’s just $19.99 (64% off!) until they sell out! I know these are two of BabyBargains favorite things: letters and trains! (When you click on the link, look for page 5 in the “Holiday Lightning Deals” section!
Lose the fancy electronic spelling toys (and associated fancy sounds) in lieu of classic wood. Amazon has the Melissa & Doug See & Spell on sale for just $9.99, 50% off the original $20!
We TotBargainers understand that little tikes need a lot of stuff. There’s no reason to pay full price! Mama loves a good deal and loves to share! Most of my favorite finds are 50+% off. Everyday I’ll find a new bargain to share with you. Don’t forget to act quickly if you see something you like, the best deals sometimes sell out in hours! Happy bargain hunting, and thanks for stopping by!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do you find these bargains?
A: I’m a little bit of a bargain-hunting junkie. This nicely transitions with motherhood! I go to websites I know and trust and rifle through their clearance sections. It’s pretty simple, actually!
Q: What do you consider a good bargain?
A: Quality first. You’ll get more features and better quality with a little hunting! A low price does not a bargain make. Did you know that baby gear has seasons? Will baby think his brown-and-lime-green pack-n-play was so last winter? No. But you saved 65% on something brand new and top quality. Sometimes stores are just clearing their inventory and all you need to do is be in the right place at the right time. I’ll help you do it!
Q: Do you find the bargains yourself?
A: Yep, see above. Sometimes PapaBargain helps!
Q: I have a hard time passing up a good deal. I hate that your website exists.
A: Thanks?? Ironically, this is why the site exists! Sometimes I see a bargain and think, I can’t use this, but someone else really should get this deal. I love to share them. It’s also a GREAT way to donate to charity. There are plenty of needy mamas, papas and children who could benefit from your lack of restraint!
Q: I’m leery about shopping online, can I find this bargain in a store?
A: First, welcome to the 21st century! Second, probably not. The beauty of shopping online is that you can easily compare prices. Finding bargains like these in a store would take lots and lots of looking and you’d probably wind up empty-handed. There are plenty of ways you can protect yourself online: using a secure connection, a non-public computer, even a virtual credit card. Be green and shop from your screen! As an added bonus, you won’t have to pack up the kiddies.
Q: I really appreciate you doing this and want your website to stay around. How can I help?
A: We’re able to stick around because you use our links to shop. We are extremely appreciative of all of our visitors and hope we’re saving you LOTS of money.
Q: When do you post the bargain deal every day? Can you make it sometime regular?
A: I try to post in the early morning hours every day. I’m a Mama, nothing is on time! Follow me on Twitter for regular updates and the occasional extra-special deal!
Q: I really need a deal on a stroller (pack-n-play, diaper bag, etc). Can you help me?
A: I’ll try! Send your request to mama@totbargains.com.
Q: Do companies pay you to write about their products?
A: Every bargain I write about is chosen by me, and all the comments I make about them are my own opinions, based on products I have purchased myself. The only compensation we receive is that generated through some of our links to these products, those to retailers we have an affiliate relationship with. This basically means that if you click through our link and end up making a purchase, we are paid a small commission on the sale. Ultimately, I hold true to my principles of quality and value and link to companies and products I like. And I’m an honest Mama who doesn’t want to lead you astray!
