Websites That Can Help You Save Money On Baby Items

  -->

If I were to say that babies can be expensive, I doubt I'd get many arguments. Between diapers, bottles, cribs and car seats, taking care of your new little one can cost you a pretty penny. Times are tough for a lot of us, but even people who aren't having money problems at the moment can use some help paying for their new baby's expenses. I can't help with stuff like doctors' bills and vaccinations, but I can point you toward some good websites that can give you coupons and discounts on various baby items. You may have heard of them before, but it still pays to take a look.

Babycenter.com (http://www.babycenter.com/) is a very good site for new mothers in general, but they do have quite a few links that can help you save money on baby supplies. Not only do they have the usual coupons and free samples, they also link to offer sites that can give discounts on baby-related goods. I've seen deals and discounts on big things like car seats and bedding, in addition to smaller things like food and diapers. I've even seen links to sites about saving cord blood; I've never heard of this before, but it might be worth looking into. There's also a link to a site in Spanish, if that makes it easier for you.

Coolsavings.com (www.coolsavings.com/) is one of the most popular coupon sites on the internet, and for good reason! This site has insane amounts of deals on pretty much everything you can think of. There are printable grocery coupons, links for free samples, and deals specific to your particular location. They have a useful Babies and Kids section that not only gives you valuable coupons, but also links you toward informational sites and free offers. There's even a feature that allows you to compare prices on certain things so that you know which stores offer the best deals! Whichever feature you use, Coolsavings.com is a very useful site for any mother, new or not!

Swapbabygoods.com (www.swapbabygoods.com) is a different sort of savings site. Like Amazon.com, retailers and mothers will list items they have for sale. There is a section for coupons and gift cards, but I'm mentioning this site because it is a good place to look for used baby items like clothes, strollers and nursery furniture. Another good thing about this site is that you can list your items for sale once your baby grows out of them! This makes it a sort of 'win-win' for a new mother.

These are just a few of the websites you can visit to find deals on the things you will need for your new baby. Each site has its own way to print coupons, so you may have to download some special software. Another way you can save money is to visit the websites of particular companies- Gerber.com for baby food, Huggies.com for diapers, etc. These sites will often carry coupons and free-sample deals that you won't find elsewhere on the internet. Wherever deals you find, every little bit of savings can help. Good luck!
