If you missed out on our last diaper find, be sure to get in on this one, it’s great! Amazon offers a program called “subscribe & save” for many of their grocery-type items. When you check out, you select if you want your order delivered again at a 1,2,3 or 6 month interval and for doing that, save an additional 15%. The “secret” is that you don’t really have to have your order delivered again- you can cancel your subscribe & save subscription after your first order ships really easily (with about two mouse clicks!) and still keep your 15%. Well, get this. For a limited time (yeah, they don’t say how long!) certain diapers and wipes S&S subscriptions will ship for 30% off. That’s on top of whatever discount they’re already offering. Like these 180 ct Size 1 Pampers Swaddlers above- their retail price is $45, they’re on sale for $40, and if you sign them up for S&S, they’re just $28, just about 40% off! All S&S orders ship free as well- and 2-day shipping at that! If you click in the link on the light blue box here, you can see all of the 30% off diapers and wipes. Happy diapering!

A great bargain on an adorable little set! Books-A-Million (it’s like Borders if you don’t have one near you,) has an amazing online bargain books section, which includes this too-cute hardcover copy of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” and a stuffed Peter Rabbit. Together they’re usually $16, but now the set is just $4.97, a ridiculous 70% off! For that price, I think they’d make really cute birthday party favors. I’m just sayin’. Today only, to make it that much easier to make a decision, any order ships for free with coupon code BKLVFREE. If you don’t decide until tomorrow, all orders over $25 always ship free. Be sure to check out the rest of the bargain books while you’re there!
PS- We’ve got an extra bargain on Facebook today for our friends there! Be sure to join us and never miss a deal!

Oh, it’s been WAY too long! Mama needs a new stroller! And there’s some fancy new models out there! I LOVE Amazon for browsing strollers and some of their reviewers are excellent. And no tax and free shipping (and now free returns!) make for an uber-happy Mama. What makes me even happier is their new promo code “SAVESSSS” that takes an additional 15% off most strollers- I still haven’t figured out how they decided which ones, but most of the strollers I was looking at worked with it, including some that are rarely on sale (UPPABaby, anyone??) My vote goes to the new Wave stroller by The First Years (the one above). It looks surprisingly chic with features you don’t usually see on a stroller under $500, like an easily reversible sitting direction (parent- or forward-facing), adjustable handle height, and a bassinet. It’s usually $300, on sale already for $266, and with your code comes down to just $226- WOW! I wish I had more restraint.
PS- Make sure you select the stroller sold by Amazon and not a third-party seller for this promo code to work! It might be listed in the “more buying choices” section depending on the stroller.
PPS- If you’re in the market for a car seat too, use code “SAVECSSS” for an additional 15% off those!

Today’s fun focuses on the wonder of ziplock bags. Not just pastry bags anymore (LOVE this use!) today they’re water toys and mess-free finger paints! For your budding artist, two “painting” options: either fill a gallon-size Ziplock bag with about 4 oz. of washable tempera paint, squeeze out the air, seal, and tape to your table/highchair, OR (a cheaper, less smelly option) fill the bag with about 4 oz. of plain yogurt, add a few drops of food coloring, squeeze, seal, and tape. Voila! For the littler ones out there, fill your Ziplock bag with water, add a drop or two of blue food coloring and a few flat-ish bath toys, seal (keep a little air in this time,) and presto! A super fast water toy. You can even add a drop of dishwashing liquid for some fun bubbles! Not that I need to tell any of you this, but of course don’t leave baby unattended with a bag, water, paint…or really anything at all. It’s a dangerous world out there!

Alright, I can’t say I remember much about this show, but I do remember LOVING it. It’s sort of comforting when your only memory of something is a lingering happy feeling. Now I can share those fuzzy memories with my Pixar-loving son and hope he feels the same way, thanks to Amazon’s amazing daily deal. The complete Fraggle Rock series in 20 DVDs (2300 minutes of Fraggle fun) is originally $100, but today it’s a stellar 63% off and just $37.49 with free shipping!

I’ll have to ask your forgiveness for my sketchy posting lately. We’re actually expecting BabyBargain #2 in a few months (yeay!) and sometimes Mama just has a bout of pregnancy brain. Or sometimes a bout of pregnancy exhaustion. Either way, stick with me and I’ll try to keep those bargains comin’! It has led me to discover, however, that dressing a little lady is (or will be) quite different from dressing a little man. The one or two solid pairs of shoes BabyBargain had just don’t seem to cut it for the baby-chic wardrobe we’re amassing over here. So here’s one for the ladies (and actually there’s quite a few boy shoes in here too,) diapers.com has a whole slew of high-quality shoes on sale for more than 50% off, including Stride Rite, Robeez, See Kai Run, and Umi. I like these little Robeez above, they’re originally $30 and now just $13.99, 53% off! Free shipping on orders over $49, so pick up a few to grow with!

We hope all our Daddy friends had a wonderful Father’s Day! If you were able to make it in to the theater this weekend, I’ve heard nothing but fantastic things about Toy Story 3. Inevitably this will trickle down to the toddler set, which will ultimately lead us to the toy store. Where I can tell you, there’s not many bargains out there! So if you’ve got a little Buzz fan with a special day coming up, here’s a good one! This cute Power Wheels quad ride-on moves at a lightning-quick 2mph and is regularly $90, but on sale now at Amazon for $69.99 with free shipping- 22% off! To infinity and beyond!
PS- The Step2 easel for two in pink is STILL a crazy low $26.81, 62% off with free shipping. If you’ve ever thought about getting it, strike while the easel’s hot!

All you “Sex & the City” fans out there may recognize Kee-Ka’s eco-chic baby wear- made of 100% certified organic cotton and celebrity baby-friendly. Now you can skip the pricey baby boutique and still keep junior looking hip- with a whopping 65% off these adorable 3 piece sets! Originally $48, Target.com has them for just $16.78! They’re available in this cute monkey print and also in sweetpea, little prince, and cupcake prints- and might I add make adorable baby shower gifts? My Target links are having some issues as of late, but just click here to their baby page and search “kee-ka” for everything to come up. And don’t forget about their stock-up diaper sale while you’re there!
PS- We’ve had quite a few requests lately for email or texting notification when a new deal is posted. I think it’s a great idea and I’m working on it! I’ll let you know as soon as we have that capability. For now, friend us on Facebook- I post all of our bargains there as soon as they’re posted here (and sometimes a little before!)

Unless you’re lucky enough to live on a beach, getting to one is usually a day-long process. Not to worry. Throw your packing lists aside and set up shop on the Isle de Home, a.k.a. Little Tikes’ Sand and Sea Play Table. It even comes with beach toys! Each side has it’s own lid, so cleanup is a breeze too. And the umbrella comes with, so you can even loosen up your sunscreen-police tactics for long enough to build a castle. It’s selling on Amazon right now for $164, but BabyAge has it on sale for just $84.99!

It’s certainly not the most glamorous bargain, but it’s no dirty secret. Or at least, it won’t be if you stock up! Target.com is having a diaper “buy more, save more” sale that turns out to be a pretty good deal if you stack another coupon code with it! Click the “see all diapers” link on this page, and find your favorite that says “buy more save more” in red in the description. If you spend $75, you’ll get 15% off, spend $100 to get 20% off, and spend $125 to get 25% off. For example, the 160-count box of Pampers Cruisers is normally $42- but if you buy 3 boxes, you’ll get each for $31.50 AND you can use coupon code MT9ZC7RW for another 10% off, making them about $28 a box, or 33% off- not bad for diapers! They ship free too!

As one of the Amazon reviewers said, you won’t understand why someone would need this until YOU need it. Like, say if your newborn refuses to sleep in the gorgeous bassinet you bought for him. And only consents to closing his eyes if you’re nearby. And you’ve had no more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep in the last month. Yep, I can’t imagine what that would be like. So this product is a great idea. A cozy little nest that fits right between your two bed pillows. If you think that sounds crowded, consider yourself extremely lucky. The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper is originally $65, and now on sale at Amazon for just $33 with free shipping!
